I bought a voucher for this company for my husbands wedding present. Big mistake! It was supposed to be something special but it's just turned out to be such a disappointment! We understand it's weather dependent, but were starting to wonder if they even bother to check the weather reports anymore! We've just had our 3rd cancellation today. The weather... More

I put in December 2010 as the visit date as it was the earliest date available to pick, but in fact I never actually took the flight because of some mistakes I made. Also even though I had a “terrible” experience I rated Go Ballooning as “average” because I accept some of the responsibility. I hope this review helps others... More

Dear James, Thank you for your comments about your experience with Cameron Flights and I am responding to you in the order that you have made your comments. The first point that we need to make is that you have ‘reviewed’ Cameron Flights, not GO Ballooning and indeed, since the purchase of your voucher, both Cameron Flights’ and GO Ballooning’s... More

Hi, I've read the reviews for Go Ballooning, and I understand that if you are patient and try a few times, you can have a great experience. But I really think that there are some very serious problems with the whole procedure. My mum and I bought the tickets for my dad back in June, and have been trying to... More

Thank you for your comments about the difficulties experienced by your parents in getting to the re-arranged launch site for their balloon flight. We understand the problems that they were faced with in respect of their reliance upon public transport on a Sunday. Therefore, we would ask that you parents get in contact with us to discuss their situation. Please... More

I think it was our third or fourth attempt to book the flight, but it actually turned out to be one of the most beautiful mornings of the year, with frost on the ground and clear blue sky once the mist had lifted. The rendezvous point was easy to find and park (although we had not been warned that we... More

4th time lucky! As frustrating as it is when your flight gets cancelled, when you actually do fly, it's incredible! Jeff, our pilot got us involved in inflating the balloon, talked us through the many technicalities of flying a balloon. In an hour, we hovered over fields, just cleared tree tops, soared to 1400 feet and completely savoured the sights... More

It's safe to say that Go Ballooning has received some very mixed reviews on this site. The majority are very happy passengers but there are a load who have been disappointed to...these are generally ones who never actually flew though. Go Ballooning is no different to other Hot Air Balloon companies I don't think....the whole process seems like quite a... More
