We rode in the hot air balloon in the morning time in which we were able to watch the sunrise. Views of Napa’s wineries and green grass hills with a view of the Bay is an amazing sight to see. 10/10 recommend.

This was 100% outside of my comfort zone, going up in a hot air balloon. I fully expected to be a ball of nerves leading up to the ride, BUT the professionalism of the hosts and guides made me 100% comfortable and i felt entirely safe. The sights are breathtaking. Take this tour!

Such an incredible experience! The area we were supposed to be in was too foggy but they offered us the option to do it in a different location just an hour away if we wanted or our money back. The pilot was awesome, told us about the views and what we were looking at. Truly a memorable experience.
