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

Incredible adventure - My girlfriend and I had the most incredible experience on a hot air balloon tour over Crete’s Lassithi Plateau. The pre-flight preparations were thrilling, allowing us to be part of the process. As we gently ascended, the panoramic views were breathtaking, especially during the sunrise. The skilled pilot and informative commentary added to the journey’s enjoyment. The crew’s professionalism and warmth were outstanding. This tour is a must-do for anyone seeking adventure, tranquility, and stunning beauty.

Amazing experience - This was an amazing experience, I booked it as a surprise for my partners birthday. Our pilot was called Daniel and he was great, communicating well throughout. It was interesting to see how much goes into putting the balloon up and taking it down. After the flight, the guys took us to a lovely breakfast in a Taverna, we had champagne and received a certificate and a lovely necklace each that goes together to make a whole balloon. Also Daniel had organised for happy birthday music to come on in the taverna and a cake to come out which I thought was a lovely touch!

Amazing experience - Unforgettable hot air balloon flight! We arrived to Crete and we had absolutely no idea that this year there were hot air balloon flights, absolutely accidentally we saw an advertisement and decided that it was a sign, to fulfill my dream from my childhood! Great team, everything is clearly explained and shown, there was absolutely no feeling of fear, after the flight we wanted more and more, but it was time for breakfast and champagne 😂 Thank you so much for a great experience!
