We collect you from your hotel within the urban area of Dubai or a specified meeting point and transfer you to the desert, where you'll enjoy a one hour flight floating across the dunes while the sun rises up to greet us. Once we've touched down and enjoyed some refreshments and collected your flight certificates, we then drop you back off at your hotel.

“Great Trip”

Reviewed 15 May 2012

Of all the trips offered in Dubai, this is one of the best. Efficient, professional and entertaining. We had never been in a balloon before and were amazed at the dessert view, tranquility, pilot's skill and the fact that it was all over too soon. An hour flashed by. Captain Peter and the team are extremely dedicated to service and... More

Breathtaking views of the sunrise on a beautiful sunny dubai day. Part of my 50th birthday adventure. The balloon flight was smooth and the feeling of flying was amazing. Thanks for some great memories and pictures. Linda (SCOTLAND) More

My husband and I did this tour on our second day in Dubai. We loved the whole experience. It was made perfect by Captain Peter who is highly entertaining and very knowledgeable. Thanks so much! More

“Breathtaking experience”

Reviewed 6 May 2012

One of those things you HAVE to experience at one point of your life. It's an early EARLY bird thing, but you can take a nap on the van to the desert. Capt. Peter Koller has a great background and experience so it's a very professional environment, they brief you with basic details on stuff regarding the flight. I'm not... More

“Camera Equipment”

Reviewed 4 May 2012

person found this review helpful

First off, I'd like to congratulate the guys for running an efficiently tour and for being professional and having safety as there no. 1 priority at all times. On the day prior to going ballooning I had inquired if I were able to take a second lens for my DSLR. They told me that it was possible to carry a... More

“Nothing extraordinary”

Reviewed 3 May 2012

person found this review helpful

Done it this very same morning. Pick-up time was at 3:30am. Van driver not very engaging and when asked if we could stop in a petrol station for coffee he did that typically Parisian shoulder shrug, and ignore our requests....... upon arrival to the launch site he hurried us out of the van. Very poor manners. Then this German guy,... More

“Once in a lifetime...”

Reviewed 29 April 2012

As early as I had to get up, the trip was amazing, and the pilot Peter was hilarious! I was amazed at how beautiful the sunrise looked from 4,000 feet, and while it definitely was burning hot in the balloon from the fire, it was a worth all the money and the experience. ^.^ More

We are slightly worried about your sense of humour - given that the Captains' is a little twisted and you still found him hilarious! It is worth that early start and we are glad to hear you had such an amazing time. Thank you for the recommendation. More

“An Experience not to be missed!”

Reviewed 27 April 2012

person found this review helpful

This was truly one of those experiences you won't soon forget. I honestly had never thought much about ballooning but I was blown away with the experience, the sites, the sounds the mastery and art of it all. Peter is truly a professional and knows his craft not to mention a great and friendly sense of humor. More

“The balloon adventure great. The service very bad and pickup extra-charge”

Reviewed 23 April 2012

person found this review helpful

The ballon experience was Great, even when the service was very bad. From the beginning of reservation (difficulties with internet confirmation), the pickup (they told us that pickup was at 4pm, and truly was at 4am) and the extra-charge because we were in Abu Dhabi and not in Dubai (both cities are at the same distance where is the balloon...

We are sorry that you had a difficult time with your booking, but you did not book with us directly. Your booking was made through an agent and therefore your flight confirmation and other details about your pickup came directly from them. If you check our website you will see that it reads, pickups are free of charge from hotels... More

“Nice Experience, but bad taste”

Reviewed 23 April 2012

person found this review helpful

The trip in itself is nice, even if challenging the time. It was not as nice as expected, specially due to the price which was way to high. It was a nice treat to be offered with a small drink after the trip, but a very bad impression was when we were asked to pay a very high price for... More

Problem with this review?

We are glad you thought the trip was nice but are a little bit taken back by your review. We are baffled as to why you would book to fly with us, if you thought the price was too high? Dubai offers many alternative tours which are less expensive and there is something to suit everyone’s budget. Ballooning is definitely... More
