Fantastic experience. Highly recommended! - Today with the family a balloon ride over the interior of Crete. A fantastic experience! In addition to the flight with breathtaking views, it was also very nice to be involved in the construction and dismantling of the balloon. And as icing on the cake, the driver turned out to be an excellent DJ with Italian top performers.

A smooth flight over the beautiful Lassithi Plateau - I didn’t know that I could fly on a hot air balloon in Crete until a find Viva Let’s Fly.
The flight above the beautiful Lassithi Plateau was very gentle and relaxing.
If you’ve never rode a hot air balloon before it’s a great opportunity. Even if you’re a scare of heights it can be a chance to overcome it.
Let’s Fly team is very friendly and we had a lot of fun helping them to deflate the balloon.

Experience of a life time - Absolutely Incredible. Sergei and His partner made the whole trip personal and enjoyable. Being able to set up and take down the hot air balloon was awesome. The ascent up through the clouds was absolutely magical and the breakfast/ brunch afterwards was delicious along with our certificates which made it extra personal and memorable. Highly recommend.
Not forgetting the catamaran sun set cruise. Just wow out of this world so many activities to do onboard and off board including drinking, eating and I enjoyed the fishing the most.
I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family

Nice view but little info - Ballooning used to be different, had to get up early but was a nice experience. The guides were very nice, but unfortunately not very communicative during the balloon ride. Was still early in the morning.
