Outstanding service and experience. All included: Pick-up wherever you are staying, boat drive with coffee, commuting and a lovely 40-45 mins flight in the balloon. They also take you back to wherever you want, not necessarily your hotel/cruise. All worked perfect and on time. And at an unmatched pirce. Highly recommend!

Did have some concern in the beginning cause we couldn’t locate our pickup driver who had gone to another dock where our sister ship was docked. But once that was straighten out, we were off to the launch site. Balloons are much larger than one we flew in at Sedona. Note: wear a hat -a lot of heat comes off the
