Once in a Lifetime Experience! This is a MUST DO if you are in Dubai! This was one of the best tours my husband and I did while visiting Dubai. From beginning to end, it was amazing. Mauricio was our driver and host for the day, and he was fantastic—prompt with our hotel pickup, very engaging, and incredibly informative during the drive out to the balloon launch site. Upon arrival, we were given reusable water bottles and safety instructions for the balloon ride. It was the most perfect day! Our original flight was canceled due to high winds, so we rescheduled—and we are so happy we did. The weather was perfect. We had about a 45-minute balloon ride, reaching up to about 4,000 feet. We were accompanied by a falconer and his bird, who did a short demonstration while we were in the air. Before landing, we were briefed on the possibility of a bumpy landing, but we couldn’t have asked for a better pilot. Usually, the basket tips over—but not this time. We glided in with just a few bumps and came to a stop upright. Following the balloon ride, we headed to the Platinum Heritage camp for a delicious private breakfast and a camel ride. Everyone there was very helpful and courteous. All in all, it was a great experience and one we would highly recommend!

What a unique experience I will remember forever. We were picked up from the hotel at 4am with a brand new Defender and took us 1hr drive to the desert. There we met the pilot, we were given a safety brief and then the adventure started. After the flight, we were offered coffee, tea and cookies. We were also given a thermos and a box of goodies as a gift. We slept all the way back to the hotel. Our guide was very nice- I am sorry I cannot recall his name but I remember him saying he was the only Indian in the team.
A fantastic experience on Christmas morning from start to finish! Our driver Saif was so professional and helpful from the time he collected us at our hotel. He briefed us on the excursion and also the history of Dubai. Our hot air balloon Pilot gave a great safety overview. The Baloon ride was fab and an effortless landing. The falcon display by the guy on board was fun. Following the landing, we had a camel ride followed by a fab 5-star breakfast. Highly recommended. Fran and Bryan, Ireland
We’ve done a number of balloon rides all over the world but this one reigned supreme.. from the pilot to the crew to the accompanying naturalist with his falcon, the trip was beyond the best ever. The camel ride and breakfast almost too beautiful to eat, the kindness and intelligence, our lovely waiter from Togo, a stunning camp, bathrooms right out of a design magazine, gazelles coming into camp. Beautifully maintained and perfectly articulated product. Wow just wow. 10 stars.
It was our honeymoon and our first tour in Dubai. Long story short, we had a really great time. The Falcon show in the sky was super and the breakfast was also great even though it was too hot to seat our table. Overall, it was the best tour. Nikky is the best tour guide. Very kind and nice, even funny!!
Simply a fantastic well organised and run experience from pick up to drop off. The ballon crew and Captain true professionals and the falcon just a fantastic bird. The breakfast equally well done. A big thankyou to ALL the crew involved who make this a truely memorable experience.
The best experience ever from the Safari, food, and Falcon show with big thanks to Gyver, Nizar, Neil, and Mahdi for making it unforgettable.
If you have a phobia of height and getting scared to do this hot air balloon then do not worry, just relax as this company have professional Pilots who will get you this experience without any scary take offs and landings. You will be in their safe hands. I experienced a hot air balloon ride with Hero Balloon Flight of Hero Experience Group, and it was nothing short of magical. A dream come true moment for me. I was simply amazed by lovely view that our mother earth had to offer. Dubai’s desert view looked amazing from high up in the sky. The entire team were excellent from Driver Hamza Zizinga. He was a person with full of positive energy. Kawa and dates were served followed by drone show. One of the highlights of the ride was the in-flight falcon experience, this is the only company which is accompanied by a falcon. The majestic falcon soaring alongside us with his trainer Mr Hameed (Falconer) did exceptional job of entertaining us and handling a bird in a right way. After landing we had an experience of mini desert ride in the vintage Land Rover to the camp for our breakfast added cherry of top of icing cake. Shiru our camel gave us a bumpy jumpy ride. A welcome drink and wet towels were provided followed by michelin styled breakfast. The service staff, Mr Chaker and Mr Johnny were very polite and they served us and also clicked our photos. A big thank you to Mr Neil, Mr Gyver and his office team; they were amazing, without them it was impossible to experience this hot air balloon ride. They made my booking process seamless. It was my lucky day on which I contacted them. They are nothing less than champions. Overall, Hero Balloon Flight exceeded all our expectations which made my experience memorable.
An experience that will last a lifetime! Stunning view, kind and knowledgeable staff, you feel safe at all times. Breathtaking experience! Breakfast was fresh, delicious and in abundance. Ali our guide was patient, helpful and great! Chalek was our waiter and he was attentive and so helpful. Thank you to the Prince to provide us with such an experience!
The entire experience was outstanding. Professional and friendly staff, hot balloon journey, Michelin’s chef breakfast and oasis set up itself. 10 out of 5 ⭐️
I enjoyed every minute of it. The whole experience was well managed by a really professional team with high quality service.
It was amazing experience !! Ballon ride in freezing temperature with one the best pilot Capt Sangram Pawar !! Life time experience to see Dubai desert and beautiful villages so closely!!
I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with the luxury hot air balloon ride and the Michelin-starred breakfast. Every detail was carefully organized, and the support from all service providers was exceptional. A special thanks to our tour leader and experienced pilot, Saggi, along with his companion, Rayen, for making the experience even more memorable. The level of professionalism, warmth, and hospitality throughout the entire process truly stood out. It’s an experience I highly recommend to anyone looking for something extraordinary.
Seamless experience from our 4am pick up to drop off. Once we arrived there was Arabic coffee and a drone show, followed by watching the balloon being inflated and a safety brief. Once everyone was in the basket we took off and reached a height of 4000ft. The falcon display was spectacular - Polaris even posed for photos on the edge of the basket! After landing we could have our photo taken with her and then off to our breakfast location. Breakfast was good and the camp was beautiful. Topped everything off with a brief camel ride. Highly recommend.
What an amazing adventure. Everything was well organized and first class. From the transfers to the ballon ride to the amazing breakfast. I highly recommend.
Great experience professionally done. Everyone was very nice and greated us with a smile. Memorable moment for a family to do. Highly recommended…
It was really great! Staff was really friendly, the falcon experience is really different. We enjoyed it a lot and it was super fun. Breakfast was truly delicious :) super worth it
Brilliant experience with Hero Experiences Group. Our driver Bashir picked us up in a beautiful Land Rover Defender and took us to the launch spot for our Hot Air Balloon ride. Bashir really took care of us during the whole experience and made sure we had everything we need. He also took some great pictures. The whole experience was so well planned, every detail was thought out from the moment we were picked up to when we were dropped back to our hotel. We felt very safe in the hands of our Pilot Serhan made us feel so safe and gave us an incredible balloon ride. We also had the pleasure of a falcon Suhail joining us too! Waseem joined us in balloon and explained everything to us too. The final stop was breakfast in a real life Oasis with wonderful food and then a camel ride. 100% worth the early start and price. Hats off to the whole team for such a brilliant experience.
It was an amazing experience worth the early alarm! You will not regret it. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable and the landscape just amazing!
Going on a hot Air Ballon tour was such an awesome adventure. Well planned and perfectly organized with super friendly staff. The Flight was such a nice way to see the sunrise in the desert of Dubai. The Breakfast was amazing and there were even a falcon for fotos and camels to go on a short ride.
From start to finish, the team at Prestige Heretige were amazing, special praise to our guide Rammel. Balloon ride, breakfast in the desert, drive over the dunes in the classic Land rovers and camal ride all 10/10. Highlight of our time in Dubai
From start to finish an amazing experience. Drone light show, the balloon ride, breakfast and camel ride was fabulous. Great crew
One in a million experience, the views and the sunset my wife and I got to see was something we can never forget. Our journey was even better because we had an amazing guide, Ravi, he was so friendly and lovely to talk with. He was telling us so much about the heritage and UAE it was a pleasure to spend this journey with him. We recommend this trip for everyone it is an unforgettable journey!
Unforgettable morning out with friends. 5* customer experience from start to finish with our lovely pilot Yosh, and all the Balloon Adventures crew and staff. Highly recommended :)
Great Experience. My original booking was cancelled due to weather but they put on the next day's flight and checked to make sure I was picked up. Our driver, Danish, was great. He explained how the morning would pan out and he drove the vintage landrover later too. It started with a very clever drone show then, after a safety brief, onto the balloons. Our pilot, Captain Serhan, didn't mind answering my numerous questions. The landing was rough due to wind but we had all been briefed and practiced how to brace. Breakfast was delicious. It was top value and well worth the price. I'd highly recommend this trip.
What an incredible way to tick off a bucket list must do. Certainly worth the very early wake up call! It was extremely well run and our guide was fantastic. He shared so much information and knowledge along the way. And he insisted on taking lots of photos which was nice as I was travelling on my own. Yosh, our pilot, was also excellent and I felt safe and informed the whole time. Would certainly recommend this experience.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. We were picked up at our hotel and brought to the balloon takeoff site. Enjoyed Arabian coffee and dates. Watched the preparation of the balloon and then took off for our first time in a balloon and we absolutely loved it. I am hooked on hot air balloons The ride to breakfast in the vintage land rover was fun. Breakfast was outstanding. Absolutely a fantastic day. Would definitely recommend Our Captain/pilot was excellent knowledgeable and professional Also our guide throughout the day was fantastic 10 stars.
This trip holds a special place in my heart because not only was it a dream come true to go on a Hot Air Balloon, it was also the day I got engaged!! A special thanks to Nikki and his wonderful team for making this day so special. Thanks to him we have plenty of photos and videos of this special occasion. The whole experience was amazing, from start to finish. From being collected from our hotel at 3am, to the drone show, to taking flight in the Balloon and then landing to have breakfast with a spin in the Vintage Land Rover, and being brought back to our hotel, everything was perfect. I can't fault this experience, we learned a lot, saw a lot and made memories that will last a lifetime. I would highly recommend it to everyone!
It was a great experience definitely worth getting up early! The balloon ride was beautiful and captain Yosh took good care of us explaining everything in a fun way. The breakfast was really delicious and the vintage rovers were quite a cool addition to the adventure. I really recommend it.
The entire experience was amazing, fromt the beginning to the end! Special thanks to our guide, Noman. He was polite and courteous, and took great photos and short videos of our group, it made the entire experience extra special.
The flight was amazing and the landscape was beautiful. The crew and the captain Gianfranco was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was also nice
This was a birthday gift to me by my husband and it was the best way to celebrate my birthday morning. The whole trip starting from the pick up from the hotel by our guide Ravi, the drone show, the orientation by our pilot Vytas, setting up the balloons, taking off, riding low and high, the amazing view, our pilot giving us a lot of insights of the ride and the terrains, even the landing was all a thrilling experience. The ride through the desert to our Bedouin inspired camp for our breakfast, Chris helping us getting up close with the falcon , the camel ride just added to the amazing experience. Kudos to the entire team of Balloon Adventurers Dubai and Platinum heritage for the excellent service and experience and making this birthday of mine really memorable. Special shout out to Ravi, our guide who took really good care of us through out the trip.
I flew with Captain Sangram who was the Hot Air Ballon Pilot. He instructed us the safety briefings, he was interactive and gave us information about the area around! The landing was perfect ! We spotted gazelles and oryx in the dessert . Sunrise was very beautiful . A must do ride specially with Captain Sangram Prakash Pawar in Dubai.
Amazing experience with Captain Hosam and M Noman. It is safe, enjoyable and fun bloom ride. Everyone was going out of way to make it better
Great experience all around! From the drone show to the balloon ride, to the vintage Landrover ride, to the camel ride and the breakfast, it's a lot of fun packed into a few hours. The crew was very positive, polite, and knowledgeable. We had a great time - despite the early hour!
This was our best trip ever! We have done many with Viator & other companies but this one surpassed our expectations - our guide Runel was fantastic and an amazing ambassador for his company. He was so informative and as we passed places on our way to the desert he took time to explain what things were - we learnt so much that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. The whole trip ran to time & was of the best quality - we felt safe & in good hands - our Pilot was so informative & experienced & was happy to chat & have a Q&A session after the balloon ride !!! Amazing!!! The breakfast was brilliant and everyone was catered for - the toilet facilities were incredible for the desert - all the women were so impressed !!! The camel ride was a bonus we just weren’t expecting it to be part of the package and the camel guide was happy to take our pictures and very good humoured - the sand dune ride in the vintage Land Rover topped off an amazing experience that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend - holding a Kestrel isn’t something you get to do everyday & it was very special - thank you Rumel & your amazing team - but be warned it is an early start !!! 🤣🎈🐪
Highly recommended experience, the best way to enjoy a Desert safari aboard of the oldest type of aircraft. Being floating and brought by the wind towards unknown destination in such a peaceful environment is one on a life experience. we would like to thank our Captain Orlando for let us always feeling safe and for all the explanations that made us feel part of the team.
Everything was so memorable, from the very timely pick-up by Ronald ti the hot coffee and dates, drone show, hot air balloon flight, riding the vintage land rover, scrumptious breakfast, falcon picture, camel back ride, and being transported back to hotel was an awesome experience. Everything met and exceeded my expectations! Thanks!
One of the best experiences in my whole life from early morning drone show with clear sky, cup of coffee n Dates which gives VIP feeling, the best hospitality which makes 5star rating to all the staff right from captain to ground staff everyone so cooperative and gives you VIP treatment on every step … I was really impressed to see the level of safety and care taken by each staff member to make you comfortable and to enjoy the adventure which will become your life time memories.. With Captain Sangram and Captain Yosh our excellent and nice pilots .Before the adventure started Captain Sangram explained every safety detail very well and try to keep us boosting so we can take all good memories back home … HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Amazing experience. Peaceful and at the same time adventurous way to fly. The team is helpful and kind in all details, from the booking all the way through this beautiful experience. Special thanks to our pilot Orlando.
From start to finish, the whole experience is five star. The vehicles that pick you up from your hotel are clean, new and not crowded. The hot air balloon ride is smooth and the staff makes you feel very comfortable, even at the landing which we were worried about.. The ride on the classic range rovers were awesome and the breakfast buffet was delicious. There are other activities at the camp like camel riding and pictures with falcons. Overall, one of the best things to experience in Dubai. This is definitely the company to use If you want to experience hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Special thanks to our pilot, Orlando, who took us up and brought us down safely.
It is an astonishing life experience. Beautiful view of the arabian desert with Gazelles walking on the red dunes. Balloon Adventure Dubai is highly recommended. Professional and friendly crew. I would like to thank Mr. Haris for being great guide and Mr. Orlando the excellent captain who manage to land smoothly.
I heard about this tour from friends and family so decided to go on the tour as i have experienced other balloon companies in the area and was having high expectations from this place but we were disappointed. The drone show in the beginning is a good touch and take off was smooth, the flight was boring and the pilot wasn't that interactive with us. The drive in the vintage land rover is over hyped but good for pictures thats it. The food was okayish not that great compared to the other breakfast places ive had. Not worth the price tag but maybe just a 1 time thing provided its at a discount
This was one of the most beautiful, and unique experiences my wife and I have ever had. Our driver Ravi was the best. He was so much fun and took great pictures. Safety is clearly their number one goal. The entire Air Balloon crew was professional and knowledgeable. It was worth every penny.
Our tour guide Seth was amazing and so nice!! Shoutout to Seth. The breakfast was great and a lot of time spent in the hot air balloon. Super safe and well organized
An absolutely INCREDIBLE experience! From the drone show, to the balloon ride, to the land rover ride and the fabulous breakfast spread, WOW is about all I can say!! I was impressed with the level of safety measures taken and the attentiveness of all the staff at Balloon Adventures. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Under the cover of darkness during the early morning hours, we gathered after being picked up promptly by our fantastic driver/caretaker, Jovan. He took complete care of us from the beginning of our experience until the end when he dropped us off at our hotels. While gathering at the meeting point, the team carefully decided when to leave because of some high winds. During the entire wait and set-up time, it was evident that safety was at the forefront of all decision-making and was greatly appreciated by all. Finally, the time came for us to load up and take off. The flight itself was amazing and flawless. The views from above were outstanding, and the landing, well, the landing, was the best part. :). When you thought things could not get any better, the team topped this experience off with the BEST breakfast in Dubai! Thank you for the amazing time!! #chicago
The trip was great! Everything was very well coordinated. The staff was very friendly and most of all our guide - Ravi. He was very helpful and took great pictures!
The experience was amazing! Great views, great photos, and very accommodating staffs! Special credits to Capt. Orlando for being very accommodating and informative about the adventure.
A definitely must do!!! The flight experience itself is amazing with breathtaking views but the drones, the fabulous staff, the breakfast, camel riding, and etc make everything even more unforgettable. Can’t recommend enough.
