A delightful, fun, and memorable 4.5 hour experience. The pilot was draw everyone into a cohesive and friendly group with his quirky nature. The balloon ride was exceptional and the breakfast delicious. The perfect experience to celebrate that special milestone in life! Thanks Graeme.

A balloon ride is something everyone should do at least once. Graeme and his crew are very professional made it a great experience. I will be recommending this to all my family and friends.

Excellent all round. Had a blast. Great set up, great views, would do it again. Wish we had better weather to do it all year round.

I've got to admit that hubby really had to talk me in to this one - but I'm so glad he did! We went as a family, to reflect on a significant event - and the experience could not have been more positive. Graeme's 30+ years of experience and obvious competency as an operator put at all at ease from the get go - and the views were amazing! A most beautiful and surreal experience! Thanks, Graeme and Team for a lasting memory...

The team at Floating Images Hot Air Balloons were fantastic. Great service from booking to our departure on the day. As a person that was somewhat anti Ballooning I found our flight to be so good that I would visit aga8n and recommend the experience to everyone.

I purchased our hot air balloon experience for my Husband as a Christmas gift it was something he had always talked about wanting to do. Thanks to Graham and his team our hot air balloon was brilliant. Graham was so informative throughout the trip and pointed out different places and had interesting stories about each place. Graham made the ride so smooth that it really did just feel like we were floating, it felt so relaxing and calming throughout the flight. The breakfast was fine, I would still recommend including the breakfast as it was nice to chat with Graham and the other passengers after the trip and it was lovely to join together before heading on our way. A few things that may help other people, I have a fear of heights and wasn’t sure if I would be able to manage. Because I am short the basket was quite high and was around chest height this made me feel more secure then if I was on a balcony (which I can’t do if it is on to high a level). Once we were up in the air the height didn’t bother me (which was surprising) and as mentioned I ended up feeling very relaxed and calm while up in the sky. My Husband has a bad back but was able to climb into the balloon using the little foot holds and said he was fine through the trip as he was able to lean on the edge of the basket if his back was giving him issues. I would highly recommend Floating Images Hot Air Balloon Flights it was one of the best things we have ever done and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks Graham, Ruth, Kate and Graham we can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful bucket list experience.

Soaring gently above the world, the hot air balloon ride was nothing short of magical. The sunrise painted the sky in hues of orange and gold, casting a breathtaking panorama.Floating with the wind, the sense of tranquility was surreal. A truly unforgettable experience. Graeme, our pilot was also very knowledgeable and entertaining.

carolynpR9606VT

Hot air is usually associated with all talk, but this was just the opposite. With Captain Graeme you'll have an amazing adventure that will stay with you long after the Balloon has landed. The wonderful team and my lovely fellow passengers made it even more memorable. Absolutely worth every cent!

It was a great day and Floating Images Hot Air Balloon Flights crew were exceptional. We will be recommending to family and friends
