Solo

The tour was excellent, from the communication about the pick-up, the prompt and comfortable transport to the balloon site; the clarity of instructions on take-off; the reassurance and instructions (and great fun) from the pilot and the flight itself. The trip was a real treat and a must-do. We took the later flight to suit our family but the sunrise must have been spectacular. The breakfast after a short drive was basic but efficient and plentiful, before a return drive back to our hotel. If you’re thinking of doing this- do it!

Family

A very bumpy road trip as the terrain is incredibly rocky but totally worth it to experience the hot air balloon flight. It is so calm and serene once in flight and definitely not one to be missed. Our pilot also made the experience with his humour. Great team also preparing the balloon for flight and also being there at the landing.

Booking was easy and contact was made with there company the day before to organise hotel pickup. On arrival, we were greeted with hot drinks, orange juice and pastries. We were then taken to the hot air balloon and given instructions about the take off, flight and landing by a well informed pilot. It was a great experience. Following the flight, we were then taken to a Berber tent for a Berber breakfast, where there was plenty of food and Moroccan tea. A wonderful experience.
