Breathtaking Balloon Flight over the Algarve - Amazing experience. Helena and crew took great care of us. A 20th Anniversary treat for my husband and I. It exceeded our expectations, beautiful day, breathtaking views and a lovely spread of cheese, meats and champagne to celebrate. Would highly recommend.

Amazing morning in the sky - It was an amazing experience to be floating in silence over the Algarve landscape. The crew were amazing. They were attentive, and accommodating to all passengers. I would recommend the experience to others who are travelling to the Algarve area.

Amazing Experience! - Our family was visiting Portugal celebrating my daughter's college graduation. I made reservations for my husband daughter and I to do the hot air balloon experience. I was very excited but a little nervous about it as my husband is afraid of heights and we really did not know what expect. The day we had scheduled it for was cancelled because of winds. Helene was able to reschedule us to the following day. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. When we arrived on site Helene welcomed us warmly and had coffee and cookies. She explained that we would be taking off as soon as our fellow passengers arrived. Before boarding the balloon she gave our thorough instructions. Once we were in flight she had complete command of the balloon, checking that all of us were fine and having a good time. The experience was a whimsical and peaceful. Helene and her crew are amazing and made us feel like family. I recommend this experience without reservation and hope I can do another one again. Make sure you book it at the beginning of your stay in case of wind. Thank you very much Helene from the Gallagher Family.

Unforgettably Excellent Experience! - Our family had the best time on this flight; it felt like a true once-in-a-lifetime experience to glide effortlessly above the Algarve during sunrise. Helena, our pilot, was friendly and professional and made me feel at ease. After landing, there was a lovely little picnic; it was the perfect end to an unforgettable morning. If you’re looking to add a truly special experience to your Algarve vacation, look no further; this experience is absolutely worth your time and money!

Definitely Just Do It - I unequivocally recommend this experience. This is coming from someone who watches his spending and is somewhat afraid of heights. The countryside is beautiful and the pilot and equipment are top notch. Our pilot, Helena, demonstrated her years of experience through her careful preparation and command of the balloon. She is a great communicater. Her calm, confident demeanor was infectious. If you plan to only take one hot air balloon ride in your life, take this one.

Kuzrfriste Cancellation due to allegedly strong winds! - This trip and the more associated trip to Portugal I made on the occasion of my 80th birthday. Birthdays booked. Unfortunately, I was given a cancellation on the day before the planned balloon flight due to strong winds. A change of booking to another day was not possible. But you have to look for the winds on the Algave.... I'm very disappointed! Therefore you get a very negative review from me!
