I took my girlfriend to NAPA for her birthday last week. I planned a surprise ballon ride over the NAPA valley. After a little research, I booked with NAPA Valley Balloons and was very happy I did so after my experience. We had a fantastic time and found them very professional. Bob was our pilot and although we were a... More

Recently, I went on a balloon ride with Napa Valley Balloons and had the best experience! Our pilot was Bob Swanson and he was absolutely amazing. We had the perfect day, the perfect ride, and the perfect pilot. Bob was very interesting,very funny, and very good at what he does. We even did a "splash and dash", dipping into a... More

Bob, our pilot was a blast. We were never nervous, and enjoyed every minute. Splash and dash, and a 10 mile trip. World class ride!

We had a great experience with the Napa Valley Balloons company, started out a bit apprehensive about flying but really wanted to try it. Ken , our pilot was extremely reassuring and his confidence and experienced background totally removed our initial anxiety. Our trip was relaxing, beautiful and fact filled as narrated by Ken. The breakfast after the event was... More

Everyone should go on a hot air balloon ride at least once in their life - what an amazing and wonderful experience. We arrived at 5:30 am for our trip. There was some coffee and pastries at check-in. Then we took a van ride over to the balloons, which were being set up. All I can say is I was... More

We had a last minute reservation for a sunrise balloon ride. We met at Domaine Chandon winery in Yountville at 5:30 in the morning. We were treated to coffee, muffins and water before our trip. Luckily we didn't have to travel far to the balloons. After we arrived at our destination we were able to watch them prepare the balloons.... More

We had the balloon ride on May 13th 2012. The pilot Ken is very very experienced and nice. I have a great fear of heights, but I was not scared because he controlled the balloon very very well and made the ride very very smooth. I was touched not only by this unforgettable experience but also people we met. Give... More

Our party of 7 rode with Captain Bob and had an amazing time! The ride was so smooth...not at all scary. Although we had to land at an unplanned location (due to prevailing winds), Bob knew just what to do and got us down safely and we all commented that we were happy to have had the extra 15 minutes...
