On Apr 28, 2008 we took a scenic tour over Napa with Napa Valley Balloons. Everything was fantastic! Early morning continental breakfast, quick drive to the prime launch site, spectacular view of 8 balloons in the air, a quick splash and dash into a reservoir, a gorgeous drift over downtown Napa, a smooth landing in a field teeming with deer,... more

This was definately the highlight of our 7 day vacation. We began at 6:15am at a golf course in Yountville, CA. We congregated for a continental breakfast and a briefing. We then were all assigned a balloon and were off the the launch site (just a few blocks away and they take you by bus.) At the launch site we... more

If you ever get the chance to go on a hot air balloon ride with Napa Valley Balloons, do not let the opportunity pass you by. I went on 10/11/07 and it was a breathtakingly beautiful morning. The staff was just tremendous, especially Don and our pilot Gabe. It was worth every $$ and I would do it again in... more

I had booked the balloon trip for my girlfriend and I to enjoy. We had spent a weekend in Napa last August and the weather was spectacular so I expected the same this year. The weather did not disappoint. However, the balloon companies have to find an alternative venue if there is fog in the morning. There was fog. Instead... more

We signed up for the balloon ride on Saturday April 7, my birthday. The weather report worsened as the date approached... and although the flight was confirmed when we called Fri evening, it was canceled Sat morning. Kind of a bummer after going to bed early and waking up at 5am on my birthday! But what can you do -... more

If you ever get the chance to go up in a hot air balloon over Napa Valley then GO. I went in late June a few years ago and I absolutely LOVED it. We had to be there by 5:30 AM and we had the most beautiful sunny morning that you could ever imagine for it. The instructors show you... more

Having never taken a hot air balloon ride, we were excited to go. After arriving at the meeting site at the local golf club at 5:30 am in a drizzling rain, we were advised that the weather would not allow us to launch in Yountville, but that we would be taken to the alternate launch site. We were driven an... more

Of course, we were very lucky that the weather was spectacular...allowing for an event better experiience and breathtaking photos. Its funny because there are many other companies with... more

Our group of four made reservations with this particular hot air balloon company months in advance for an Easter Sunday morning flight. Three days out, with poor weather predicted, we tried to move our reservation to any one of several other days. The company rep flat out denied our request. They had our credit card information but refused to cancel... more
