It was breathtaking and spectacular. Unforgettable experience for you in your life. The team and balloon are totally safe and professional. Big thanks to you guys. Wish you all the best!
My husband give me this flight as a gift for our anniversary. Fantastic experience, great team and amazing views. It was one of the highlights of our trip in Crete.
That was my dream 20years ago when I was studying in the UK, and since never happened when I was there or at least at northern Europe area, I could not imagine that this could really happen in Greece!
So, bravo team for the initial and thank you for this great experience we had!
The only issue I’m facing is that I have to do it again stress less this time 🙂
My girlfriend and I had the most incredible experience on a hot air balloon tour over Crete’s Lassithi Plateau. The pre-flight preparations were thrilling, allowing us to be part of the process. As we gently ascended, the panoramic views were breathtaking, especially during the sunrise. The skilled pilot and informative commentary added to the journey’s enjoyment. The crew’s professionalism and warmth were outstanding. This tour is a must-do for anyone seeking adventure, tranquility, and stunning beauty.
This experience was so beautiful, from the setting up the take off the floating around feeling like a bird in flight to the landing, everything was just amazing. Highly recommended. The pilot was super nice and professional at all times . Thank you for memory.
Absolutely Incredible. Sergei and His partner made the whole trip personal and enjoyable. Being able to set up and take down the hot air balloon was awesome. The ascent up through the clouds was absolutely magical and the breakfast/ brunch afterwards was delicious along with our certificates which made it extra personal and memorable. Highly recommend.
Not forgetting the catamaran sun set cruise. Just wow out of this world so many activities to do onboard and off board including drinking, eating and I enjoyed the fishing the most.
I will definitely be recommending it to friends and family
