💥💥💥 Feeling fly in July 💥💥💥 - Totally looking forward to this and signed up and then I read the waiver and I was not so sure I placed a call to the pilot expressing my uneasiness. She reassured me and I signed and I was so soooo amazed . It was a great take off and the views breathtaking!! Nature was pretty cool and just watched t the sunrise and the the safari rode afterwards and the celebratory toast and history was the cream of the crop ! The landing perfect and I was so s thankful for the experience and when my travel nurse contract is complete I’m coming back to celebrate in the air !!! Petra is amazing and the ballon ride unforgettable!!!

Must Try - Bucket List Experience! - Fantastic Experience! Our family of four (including kids 7 and 11) enjoyed a morning flight on our own balloon! I thought my wife an kids would be nervous but Petra and her team made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Great communication in advance to understand where to be. They went above and beyond by taking several photos - from the balloon and from the ground crew - and sharing those - fantastic! On this family trip to the black hills, the entire trip was fantastic. This balloon ride was a highlight. If you have not experienced a balloon ride, it is unlike anything else and you must give it a try.
