Amazing experience over the desert - 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.

Dreamlike experience - It was a perfectly organized trip from the first to the last second! From the Jeep ride through the friendliest of friendly people Ebraima, to the balloon ride with Captain Hosam and Jaffar the Falcon! It's great. The ride in the Ballom was breathtaking and just in time. The sunrise was a dream. I can only recommend this experience to anyone who has this opportunity. Hosam, the captain has explained everything to us in the last detail. He was wonderful. Even the subsequent breakfast left nothing missing about the previous. A top trip that was definitely worth his money! Thank you. From us 10 out of 5 points. Thank you!!! Thank you Ibrahim, thank you Hosam, thank you guide of Jaffar and thank you Jaffar himself. Thank you also to the entire team of Hero Ballon flights Dubai for this exciting and unforgettable experience

Hot Baloon Experience - 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

Wow just wow. 10 stars - 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.

Great experience on the cloud - 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!!

High up in the sky yet down to the earth - 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.
