Worth the trip to Armenia. - Emotional, personal experience. One of the main goals of our trip for my wife's 50th birthday. It was an excellent and unbelievable experience. My wife has a fear of heights, but they confidently handled it. These are very experienced pilots.

Unforgettable Adventure: Soaring High with Manuk at the Helm! - My experience flying in a hot air balloon was simply unforgettable! The flight over the landscapes was superb, and the pilot, Manuk, did an excellent job. We were charmed by this adventure and are immensely grateful for this incredible experience!

Best Ride of my life!!! - If you love adventure and want to experience something new while traveling, like me, then definitely go to Armenia and book a balloon flight with your loved ones. I'm a person who loves spontaneous decisions, but I took my best friend with me who is afraid of heights and she managed it really well. Probably the best experience in my life. When we took off, we were given Rafaela, prosecco and had music playing throughout the flight. It was really incredible, I felt like I was in a dream. SKyball is an amazing company and I can only recommend it to everyone. Our balloon pilot is very professional, don't worry, everything is really 100% safe, you will feel at home with them. They will explain everything to you, show you, it's really worth it. With this review, I would like to thank the whole team for such a wonderful day, I will definitely recommend the balloon flight to everyone. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the mountains of Armenia from a height and enjoying this feeling. At the end, we had a short meeting. And if you're thinking about going on a hot air balloon ride in the winter and you're worried that you'll be cold, don't worry, you won't be. I don't like winter, I was there when it was -5 degrees, but the heat from the balloon warms you up. So don't hesitate a minute and enjoy yourself!

A breathtaking experience a breathtaking experience! ✨ - During our trip, we had the opportunity to take our first hot air balloon flight. I knew it was going to be a breathtaking experience, but I never could have imagined it would be so incredible. It’s truly an experience to live at least once in your life. Furthermore, we could not have been better surrounded than by this team; everything was perfect. They are true professionals who know exactly what they are doing, and the most important thing is that they do it from the heart. I can only be grateful for this experience.

Closer to space)))) - An unforgettable event in my life. To go up into the sky and float there for 40 minutes in a hot air balloon is cool. The views are incomparable. Organization at the highest level. I recommend it to everyone and they also issue an aeronaut certificate). And the cherry on the cake is to sit after the flight and eat fruit and look at the top of Ararat. 😍😍😍
