Review β„–1

We were picked early morning from our hotel in a van. The venue was in the outskirts more than 1 hour drive from dubai creek. We reached the place around 5.30 am. It was extremely cold in the month of February. It took around 30 mins to fill up the balloon and there begin the adventure. An awesome first time experience riding up, floating and coming down. The falcon show was good. As promised we had a good view of sunrise πŸŒ…. After the ride, we were escorted to a a very well maintained desert camp for breakfast and camel ride. Both were great.

I read reviews before booking this and decided to add it to my Dubai itinerary and am so glad I did! Staff Nikki picked up up promptly in the morning and kept us up to date all day at what to expect and our timing. He helped take photos and was a great smile to have along the journey. Captain Dan was in charge of our balloon and gave us a smooth ride where everyone was able to see different parts of the sunrise and get all the photos they wanted. The whole experience was beyond what I expected. I definitely recommend!

This was my first time on a hot air balloon and the experience was unforgettable. From the pick-up to drop-off the experience was very smooth, with no delays.The balloon ride also includes breakfast, an old school jeep ride, and breakfast. All of these were fantastic, and there was a good selection of vegetarian food as well if thats important for you.They are a bit pricey (not sure about the competition), but overall I highly recommend this company.P.S be wary of getting into the balloon if you have trouble with stairs, my mom had a bit of a tough time trying to get in, but she managed.

Fantastic experience. Highly recommended even for residents. The breakfast afterwards is a great touch and food was good too.The only downside is waking up so early, but it’s worth it.

Such an amazing and one of a kind experience! I’m a person who is usually afraid of heights but weirdly this wasn’t scary AT ALL. It’s a chance for you to see the desert and sunrise from a totally different perspective which is breathtaking. The service isabsolutely wonderful & professional where they would also take care of the tiniest details + personalize your experience. 10/10

Step away from the city and float above the sands of the Arabian desert with a Balloon Adventures Emirates Hot Air Balloon Tour.Balloon Adventures has created a world first where passengers get to share the skies (and basket) with falcons as they experience a one-of-a-kind aerial adventure. There’s no better way to admire the desert in all its glory.As the longest operating hot air balloon company in Dubai with a staff of international pilots that have logged more than 60 years of flying experience, youll be in safe hands as you glide 1,200m above the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. The adventure starts at sunrise, followed by an hour-long flight thats worth the early wake-up.Following whichever way the desert breeze blows, youll enjoy stunning views of the rolling red sands, rising sun, grazing gazelles and majestic Hajar Mountains. The experience doesn’t end once you land as you’ll ride in an open top 1950s vintage Land Rover to an authentic Bedouin camp where you can unwind and enjoy an amazing breakfast.

Very nice experience. To start with, pick up was on time no matter the early morning. Nikki our driver did a great job at putting us in the right mood and making us comfortable and relaxed on our way to the landing zone. All the staff showed great hospitality and sense of humor while still being professional at getting the balloon ready.Flight was great ! Our pilot was fun and did a great job in changing altitudes so we could enjoy the desert and sunrise the best we could. Landscapes are breathtaking (it would even have been even more wonderful if some passengers could stop talking for nothing and enjoy the sightseeing ! ;-)...). We felt secure all the way and really did enjoy all of it.The breakfast and vintage drive to the site were enjoyable too. We are not too much into pictures with falcons or camel riding but still, talking with the falconer was interesting. Service and food were of good quality.We recommend this experience and thank all the team and more especially Nikki for this nice day.

This is the home of but wait theres more! I booked for the ballon ride, and didnt pay much attention to the rest of the details. After an amazing balloon ride with a great pilot they take you by land rover to a fantastic breakfast in the middle of the desert. Everything is fresh and delicious. It was nice to relax and drink coffee. After that they give you the option to take a short ride on a camel, which was cool, and if that isnt enough they have a falcon come along in the balloon! I highly recommend

This was my first Hot Air Balloon experience and I absolutely loved it. The desert seen from the sky is so beautiful and watching the sun arising from the mountains was simply unique. I chose Balloon Adventures as they are the only company to fly with the falcon from the balloon basket - we learnt so much about these beautiful creature and seeing it soaring the sky was once in a lifetime experience. Definitely recommended, its the best hot air balloon company in Dubai!

I have been in Dubai for 4 years and I can honestly say this is one of the best things I have ever done! From the experience itself to the wonderful (and unusual in Dubai) flawless service from beginning to end. Atif our driver collected us at the exact time agreed, he was chatty and competent and stayed with us until we got on the balloon, met us when we got off and looked after us well during the breakfast/vintage Land Rover experience. Our pilot (I cannot remember the name but he was Japanese) was also incredible, you could tell he was passionate about his work and was nothing but happy, informative and entertaining! Well worth the money and would definitely do it again!

To float over the desert at sunrise in a hot air balloon with a Falcon demonstration whilst flying is a once in a lifetime experience, it was mind blowing.We left bright and early, picked up at the hotel and delivered to the desert to embark on our flight. The crew take care of everything and you just need to hop up into the basket and fly away! You basically feel you are in the middle of the desert (even through 40 mins from Dubai), you are surrounded by the sand dunes and the beautiful sunrise. The weather was perfect!As you float in the sky with a couple of other balloons the pictures you will capture will surprise you! Sometimes you need to pinch yourself.Part way through the flight, the baby Falcon takes off around the balloon, and lands back on the basket, I was lucky enough for him to land directly in front of me, it was amazing!!The landing is quite a surprise and I will leave this for you to experience, but definitely exhilarating!We then jumped in the bus for a desert drive of a lifetime, thank you to our bus driver who was an expert at handling the bus in the desert:-)The morning ended with a quick desert ride in a vintage Land Rover to experience breakfast with the crew in an authentic environment.A huge thank you to the team and especially to Richard (our pilot) and Marie (Falcon handler) for this opportunity, it was very well coordinated and no waiting around, definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to experience something unique in Dubai.

#besthotairballoonride ever! I am so afraid of heights but flying on board up in the sky with the very professional pilot eased my fear.

Best hot air balloon experience I’ve ever done. Been to some in Australia and Europe but this one is extremely unique. They take off and fly these stunning birds from the basket with you, I think we had a peregrine falcon in ours, it was so fast. My wife and I had an amazing time on our honeymoon and definitely recommend to tick this one off your bucket list. P.s. pilot Peter was hilarious and we learnt a lot about flying balloons.

An excellent experience from beginning till the end! From the minute we were picked up by crew member Nikki, it was 5 star all the way. Capt Hylke was our balloon captain. A stready, calm, reassuring man he made the experience for the passengers an unforgettable one. It was clear that safely and passenger enjoyment were a priority for this captain. What a fantastic asset Nikki and Capt Hylke are for Balloon Advebtures Emirates! The extra special vintage Land Rover ride to breakfast just sealed the deal on a perfect morning. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had! Big selection of drinks and an an exotic assortment of food. Will definitely use this company again! Best experience in Dubai!

Review β„–65

One of the most beautiful things for fun and adventure, and in particular their plan is very excellent. The first plan is to take you from a place to go to see how the balloon is inflated and then to ride and go and watch the falcon fly and photograph with it and then get off and ride desert cars to take breakfast and the pleasure of driving on the land with the group and then return was an unforgettable journey For me

This company has the longest working period in the field of organizing flights in hot air balloons in Dubai, and a team of international pilots with more than 60 years of experience in the field of aviation. Dont worry, because you will be in safe hands as you fly 1,200 meters above the Dubai Desert Reserve. This wonderful adventure begins at sunrise and lasts for one hour, and is definitely worth getting up early for.
