I recently surprised my wife with a sunset balloon ride for her birthday, and let me tell you, it was an experience beyond our wildest dreams! Seattle Balloon Company truly knows how to create an unforgettable adventure. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. First and foremost, I cannot commend our pilot, Cameron, enough for his expertise and genuine passion for his craft. He went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the entire journey. His knowledge of the area and the balloons was remarkable, making us feel confident and at ease. The highlight of our ride was when Cameron skillfully maneuvered the balloon just a few inches above a picturesque lake. It felt as if we were suspended in mid-air, gliding effortlessly above the water's surface. The sight was nothing short of mesmerizing, as the setting sun cast vibrant colors across the sky, creating a breathtaking backdrop for our adventure. The balloon ride itself was pure magic. The spacious basket provided ample room for us to move around and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. We were awestruck by the stunning vistas of Seattle's iconic landmarks, rolling hills, and lush greenery. The gentle breeze and the serenity of the experience truly made it feel like we were floating on a cloud. The attention to detail and the level of customer service offered by Seattle Balloon Company were outstanding. From the moment we arrived at the launch site, the staff made us feel welcome and valued. The entire team was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely excited to be a part of our celebration. I would be remiss not to mention the breathtaking sunset that accompanied our balloon ride. Words cannot do justice to the sheer beauty we witnessed as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in a kaleidoscope of warm hues. It was a moment that will forever be etched in our memories. If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Seattle, I wholeheartedly recommend Seattle Balloon Company. Their sunset balloon ride, led by the amazing pilot Cameron, provides an out-of-this-world adventure that is bound to leave you in awe. Thank you, Seattle Balloon Company, for an extraordinary journey that exceeded all our expectations. We can't wait to fly with you again!

We did the sunset balloon ride and it was incredible! They were incredibly communicative with us leading up to the ballooning day and texted us realtime updates on the parking situation as we met for departure. Everyone, from our greeter, driver, crew, and pilot were amazing. Take off and landing were exciting and the rest of the ride was serene and peaceful. We had great views of Mt. Rainier and touched down in a pasture where we got to hang out with some cows as they loaded up the balloons! I strongly recommend them!

Honestly 10/10 recommend. We went on a sunset flight and the views were STUNNING. Amanda was our pilot and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. She was such a hype girl and made the experience that much better. The whole seattle ballooning crew were amazing and SO much fun. The champagne toast at the end put the cherry on top of a perfect night. We got lucky and landed on the cutest families land and they let us feed, pet, and take pictures with their beautiful horse.

What a fabulous time! Two friends and I booked a sunset flight about a week ago. Our pilot (and owner) Eliav Cohen was so fun, professional and safety was a top concern. Breathtaking views of Mt. Rainier the entire time. Great customer service, too! The whole team was so responsive to online chat, email and phone calls! (I had a lot of questions!!) An amazing experience!

Put this on your bucket list! Today was my second flight and our pilot Cameron, skillfully guided us over treetops, descended us into a valley where the Green River flowed, while watching the sunrise to majestic views of Mount Rainier. Seattle Ballooning are a professional, friendly group of people and I highly recommend you let them create a magical memory for you. One of the top five experiences of my life.

My group and I had a memorable adventure with Seattle ballooning. I was celebrating my decade sober anniversary and we had some hiccups with our original booking and flight, and Griffin went above and beyond and made it right. I highly recommend this company not only for the experience but for their customer service and passion in what they do! Our pilot was very passionate as well and was filled with so much knowledge that he made this experience a learning one too! Thank you Seattle ballooning for everything.

What a magical, breathtaking way to finalize our wedding. I truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. This Rainier sunrise in the sky was perfect. Griffin was very helpful in planning, Morgan did an incredible job piloting, and Eliav brought a lot of energy and warmth to the whole experience. The entire team is kind and clearly passionate about what they do -- a recipe for an amazing experience. The bald eagle we saw didn’t scoop any prey out of the water, so 4 stars was tempting, though the water was so impressively glassy that we could see our reflection from above. Solid 5 stars.

Awesome!! Can’t say enough good things about the experience. Our pilot Cameron, was knowledgeable, friendly and very informative. Made our flight so enjoyable! The evening was perfect for a sunset flight. Scenery was absolutely breathtaking! Well worth it!

Really enjoyed my ballooning experience:) The entire crew was incredibly fun, polite and friendly! Their communication was excellent before and during the actual ride. The experience was worthwhile, including the incredibly peaceful and enjoyable scenery with great weather! Would recommend anyone else considering riding with them! Edit: Their communication is excellent and fast. Thank you so much!

Great arrangement, great pilot, great experience, great views, very well organized. Highly recommend!

My fiance proposed to me on a Seattle Balloon ride on 7/27! It was the most amazing experience BUT even though he gave them a heads up on this being a proposal ride and specially took the photo package our captain took 0 photos of the proposal itself. It was so disappointing. We reached out to them over email to give them this feedback and never heard back. Extremely disappointed on their lack of service on such a special day for us. Update : We received several messages from them post this review. Apparently there was a miss in uploading the proposal video which they added now. They refunded our photo package as well. Updating my review to 5 stars because the issue has been addressed very promptly from them. Thank you!

What a cool experience! A group of family and friends went up for an evening flight and really enjoyed the whole experience. We are an adventurous family and strangely, none of us had been up in a hot air balloon! Felt comfortable from start to finish. The crew and pilot knew what they were doing and you could tell they enjoyed the trip too. The only criticism is that we definitely could’ve been up in the air longer. The website shows them dipping down into the river or over Lake Tapps. For the money spent and the multiple flight delays for weather (1year later), it seemed a little rushed and short. Still want to give a 5 star as I assume it takes a lot to even run this type of seasonal business with low risk and profitability. Cheers to the whole group!

This was a lovely experience. Our pilot Amanda was informative and fun.

We had a fantastic time! The staff and guests were all super friendly! Our pilot Allan was awesome! Such a fun experience! We enjoyed our time so much! Wish we could balloon all day! We had amazing views of the mountain glowing in the sun and the entire morning was super spectacular! From start to finish, from meeting Griffin in the morning to having a champagne toast afterwards with Eliav, Seattle Ballooning was extremely professional and made the experience one of a kind!

Amazing, incredible time! I cannot say enough about this company and the staff. They are a well oiled machine and make you feel very comfortable, for the first timers or those scared of heights (that’s me!). I conquered that fear with strength and determination and it was amazing. The sunrise ride was nothing short of spectacular. I have found a new love! I highly recommend Seattle Ballooning, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for the incredible time, effort and dedication you put into your craft. It does not go unnoticed and this was a bucket list for me that I will come back to repeat!!

Very smooth operation from getting all of your questions answered on their website while researching, through the experience itself. Staff is very knowledgeable and passionate about ballooning. They do a great job of engaging, making you feel comfortable and safe, as well as being fun and personable. Had two delays in actually flying due to weather, but that’s out of their control and we appreciated the fact they made safety and the experience a priority over a quick buck. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

A huge thank you for making our first balloon flight such an incredible experience! The sunrise trip, the beauty around us, The Aeronauts balloon, and our masterful pilot were all above and beyond any expectations. We have already shared our experience with many and will continue to do so. It was really special to have a private flight with CEO Eliav!

Seattle Ballooning provided us with an unforgettable experience that surpassed all expectations! We chose this company to elope in a hot air balloon, and it turned out to be the most magical decision we could have made. Kasey, our pilot, was truly gifted and skillfully navigated the balloon, allowing my wife to pluck a leaf mid-air, which was absolutely exhilarating! From the moment we booked our ride, the entire process was seamless. Their communication was top-notch, and they were incredibly punctual, ensuring everything ran smoothly on our special day. Kasey went above and beyond to make the experience extra memorable by collaborating closely with our photographer to capture breathtaking shots with the perfect lighting. We wholeheartedly recommend Seattle Ballooning to anyone seeking a unique and enchanting adventure. Whether it's a hot air balloon ride or an elopement, they excel in creating moments that will be cherished forever. Thank you, Seattle Ballooning, for making our day truly extraordinary!

This was my second flight in my life and it absolutely exceeded the expectations compared to the previous one. I love adventures and seeing the world from a different perspective, so when we had an opportunity to go ballooning, the answer couldn't be no. It was my first few days in Seattle ever and thanks to the summer internship with Southwestern Advantage I got to know Eliav Cohen - the owner of Seattle Ballooning company. Him and his crew are 100% excited and passionate about what they do and making it a total fun experience for everyone. Their pilot skills are outstanding and they can get you to the places that you wouldn't believe it's possible in the balloon! :) Look at one of the videos - we "went swimming" that morning, so fun! Not even mentioning how gorgeous the sunrise was and the views on Mt. Rainier all the lakes and towns, just incredible! Totally worth it, will stay in my memories for a long time!! If you can, go for it! Do it now, sometimes later becomes never ;)

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a balloon ride. The experience, customer service and staffing were beyond expectations. The knowledge and experience that the staff have is astounding. They are truly passionate about their craft and we were very impressed. It was a wonderful trip and looking forward for more adventures. We took a sunset flight. Next trip will be a sunrise flight.

Amazing experience, the entire crew worked hard to ensure our comfort and entertainment. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time! The entire Seattle Ballooning crew are very knowledgeable and passionate about Ballooning and create an unforgettable experience. Just a great, fun group of people whose love of ballooning just rubs off on you. Can’t wait till we can do it again.

FABULOUS experience yesterday with Seattle Ballooning. Friendly, knowledgeable, highly competent, entertaining pilots. Well organized. Beautiful scenery. Hard to go wrong flying towards Rainier.

Great experience! Booked online with easy instructions. Meeting point was easy to navigate and locate. We took the sunset tour and we were in the air for about an hour and 15 minutes. Landing was smooth like butter. Afterwards, Owner, Eliav, is a phenomenal pilot and was telling us stories while sipping our champagne. The views from the basket were spectacular. Highly recommend this attraction if you're traveling to Seattle.

I dont recall exactly how I stumbled upon this adventure, but my wife and I were absolutely thrilled by the chance to ride a hot air balloon near Mt. Rainer. The views of the mountain and the White River were just breathtaking. The entire process from launch to recovery (and taking out a property owner's fence!) were so very enjoyable. Our pilot, Cameron, daftly maneuvered the balloon through the winds, up and down, and demonstrated how talented he is at his trade. The early morning wake was so worth it to see the sun rise and kiss the majestic mountain. Defiantly a bucket list adventure.

I was really nervous when I initially booked, but now that my flight is over, I won’t hesitate to book again. Not once was I nervous. Our pilot and support staff were amazing. They took really good care of us. This mornings weather (Sunday) was amazing. We caught the sunrise, flew over the river, picked a few leaves from the top of the trees and saw beautiful Mt. Rainier from above. It was incredible!! The trip was amazing. I highly recommend and I can’t wait to soar high again! Thank you to everyone who made my grandma/granddaughter day amazing!!

This company puts safety first. Our anniversary trip last fall was cancelled due to weather, but we were given a credit. This year we made it, and the experience was beautiful. Many thanks to the staff who made our trip wonderful. A tad bit disappointed that the trip was so short, 1 hour and 3.9 miles, but it was a great time and very peaceful. The crew was fantastic and the pilot made sure to turn the balloon so everyone got a view of the sunset and Mt Rainier equally. All in all will probably do this again but I prefer faster modes of transportation😄 My wife loved it which made it all worth it. I will say as a precaution, if you are bald, wear a hat. The 40,000,000 btu's those burners put off was insane. I had to cover my head with my hands but I am heat sensitive so.... Either way, great time, great people, highly recommend at least once in your life!

This was a fantastic experience for our family, including my parents in their 70s. The entire crew and staff were excellent for airmanship, safety, professionalism, as well as ensuring we had a lot of fun! Highly recommend, and we'll be flying with them again sooner than later!

I had the best time of my life! My boyfriend bought us tickets months ago on my birthday for us to take a ride this summer and I’d been looking forward to it the whole time. Even with all the build up, it didn’t disappoint one bit! It was amazing!!! The views were absolutely stunning all around. The staff was all so fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. And it was also very interactive. We got to help hold part of the balloon as they filled it with air. I’m so SO glad we did this. Seriously one of the best moments of my life. My boyfriend also proposed to me during the ride so now he’s actually my fiancé! Even though we shared the ride with other people, everyone kinda had their own corner of the basket and the proposal as actually very personal. He pulled out the ring in front of me as we looked at Rainier together and then whispered the question. I doubt the other passengers even knew what happened until maybe they saw me crying and kissing him lol. The staff also surprised everyone with champagne after! Seriously if you’re considering doing this for any reason (proposal, birthday, anniversary, divorce, or just for fun) I HIGHLY recommend it! And I also HIGHLY recommend Seattle Ballooning!!!

This experience is a MUST!!! I have never been hot air Balooning but I am glad I did. Thanks a lot to our chief pilot Eliav and his crew. These guys are extremely polite, friendly and professional which is very rare these days. I loved the whole experience. We took off from Enumclaw and flew for about hour and half and landed in Bonney Lake. Weather was gorgeous and we got to touch the trees and got down to the water as well (SUPER SAFE). Definitely doing this again🤍

The crew was fantastic and the experience was amazing. I'll let the photos do the talking, but would recommend to all. If you want a fun knowledgeable crew and a different way to experience the PNW, well worth it.

We took a party of 5 for a flight with Seattle Ballooning at the Winthrop Balloon Roundup. Griffin was fantastic coordinating our flight so that we all got to fly together. Pilot and crew was amazing. You can tell they really love their work. I highly recommend Seattle Ballooning, and I would definitely fly with them again.

No words can explain the beauty of this experience! All the staff were awesome!. McKenna, our pilot is great and super nice. Eliav the owner is great as well! You should do this once in your life, you will never regret it. Being up there was magical and majestic, views are amazing and stunning!!! We went down to the White River and did the splash and dash which is super cool!! My husband said, given a chance he would do it over and over again 😄 I would give Seattle Ballooning 10 stars!!! Definitely one of the unforgettable experiences of my life!"

Wow! First heard about Seattle ballooning a few years ago and have seen them often in the sky. My wife has unsure and is afraid of heights but I booked as sunrise flight for us anyway and we both loved it!! Now she wants to do it again and highly recommends it! The team is very nice, full of energy and all smiles. They love what they do and love to share the experience to all. Highly recommend this team!

Our Seattle Balloon flight was truly amazing adventure. We loved soaring through the sky and touching down in the river with the jumping salmon. And of course the champagne 🍾 toast ritual was a perfect ending to our journey. Highly recommend Seattle Ballooning for any occasion. YOLO Girls Trip 60th bday trip...🥰
