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.

It was an awesome experience! I highly recommend it. The crew was fun and obviously knew what they were doing. I always dreamed to experience this and it was worth every $ and every second. You have to monitor the weather of course and avoid fog and clouds as it might be a different experience.

Amazing ride! Didn’t get to float over Napa Valley due to the winds but it was an amazing ride. Bob dropped us down and skimmed a creek and immediately shot back up! Mad piloting skills! He also made out ride very entertaining. We would all do it again and recommend it to others.
