I have always wanted go on a hot air balloon since I was a little girl, it finally happened this yr for my bday! 🙂 I was a bit nervous but I did my research and felt that “Sky’s the Limit” was the best choice for my fiance and I. James, our pilot and the ground crew were so professional and their service was superb. I felt safe and that allowed me to enjoy this amazing experience, I can’t wait to do it again! I highly recommend Sky’s the limit, thank you for making my bday a memorable one
Thanks so much for taking such great care of my father and his friend – they had a blast and it was a 91st birthday to be remembered!!! You put on a spectacular day and we really appreciate your attention to the little things – the bench, the birthday banner. Thanks for making a memorable evening for them!
Our hot air balloon adventure was just that — a wonderfully fun adventure. We felt safe the entire time. While we had been concerned that 12 people sharing a balloon would seem crowded, the opposite was true — we, in reality, had the nicest of people to share the trip with. Our pilot made sure we felt safe while being humorous at the same time. Our only advisory would be to bring a hat and jacket– not due to wind or cold temperatures. The burner is HOT and the hat and jacket minimize the heat’s temperature on one’s skin.
Had an absolutely beautiful flight on a calm evening! We were above the clouds and could see in every direction and watched a beautiful sunset. Thanks for a wonderful evening!
My sister and I did the hot air balloon ride and it was the perfect ending to a great trip! I am afraid of heights, but the hot air balloon ride is so gentle that I don’t have any fear while on the ride. Pete, the pilot, described as a “sensation of no sensation” and he is absolutely right! It was a great ride, Pete pointed out places of interest along the way, and the storytelling at the end with the champagne toast (or water or coke for those who don’t drink) was just a perfect ending. It was also very interesting to see them put the balloon together and take it back apart. Very professional staff. Top notch experience!!
AWESOME!! SPECTACULAR! Don’t miss this experience with Mike, the pilot and his crew. Professional with your safety their utmost priority. Making sure you have an unforgettable time. DO IT!
We carefully researched companies and chose Sky’s The Limit based on reviews and safety. We were not disappointed. Jeff, our pilot, was focused on giving us a pleasant and safe experience, and was also great as a tour guide. The champagne and history at the end was quite the treat!
We booked a flight with Sky’s the Limit for our trip to San Diego with our relatives from New Zealand. We had scheduled for a Thursday but unfortunately the winds we’re not good for our flight so we were able to reschedule for Saturday. We were a “GO” for this day and arrived at our scheduled time. We loaded up and off we went. It’s so cool to watch them inflate the balloon in front of us. There were some other companies at the same spot and I have to say that our basket and balloon looked the newest and in better shape then the others. Once we got in the air our pilot James turned into our tour guide. He pointed out points of interest and facts about what we were seeing, he was very knowledgeable about the area and took us safely to our landing zone. We had a perfect landing and then he shared a story about the first balloon flight and had a champagne toast. We had an awesome time and would highly recommend this adventure to anyone! Thanks James and crew
My husband called and talked to Renee who was fabulous – took her time, answered all his questions and really calmed his nerves (he hates heights – this trip was all for me).
Eric picked us up at our hotel. On time and very very personable. He filled us in on the local sights and really took care to make sure we were comfortable.
As for the pilot Matt he was EXCEPTIONAL. He was obviously experienced and in control of the crew and balloon. His confidence mixed with caution and humor made my husband feel safe and let him enjoy the ride almost as much as I did.
Overall – I would recommend this company without hesitation!
Hot air ballooning was definitely on our bucket list, but there was a hesitation towards safety. I can honestly say that James and his crew made us feel safer than I could have imagined. It couldn’t have gone any better from a couple thousand feet in the air!
The views were gorgeous over Slovang-Santa Barbara wine country where we could even see the ocean in the far distance past the mountain ranges. I enjoyed the serenity of the balloon ride the most, it was quite peaceful.
Without question, I wouldn’t think twice about going out with James and his crew again.
