An amazing experience ran by a lovely team of people - This was recently purchased for me as a gift from my partner while we were on holiday. Do not be put off by the early start, I can assure you it's definitely worth it. Helena and her family/crew were all so welcoming and made you feel totally at ease. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the experience. We were offered a range of hot drinks and cookies before the flight. The flight itself was an amazing experience, if you've never experienced balloon flight, I would 100% recommend it, it was so serene. Watching the sunrise and the panoramic views over the Algarve was just gorgeous. Helena was always happy to answer questions and offered great insight into what we were seeing. After we landed & everything was packed up we were treated to champagne and a lovely selection of cheeses, hams, local delicacies, everything was really considered and delicious. Overall I would 100% recommend this experience to anybody, it's one of those things you should definitely tick off in life. I cannot speak highly enough of Helena and her family/crew, they were all lovely and make the experience what it is, wonderful.

Do it. Such an excellent experience, and Algarve Balloons made it so. - Absolutely brilliant - my other half and I are still buzzing from the experience. Helena was super helpful when organising the booking, keeping us fully informed when to call to check the trip was on, and where to meet - wouldn't let me pay until the trip was actually completed! As for the flight, we arrived pre-dawn at the designated take-off site, were given a thorough safety briefing and in a very short time were airborne- in time to see the sun rising over the horizon! The flight went really well, just over an hour , and Helena kept us informed and entertained throughout, whilst piloting the balloon in an utterly professional manner. The views were amazing. She brought us in for a really slick landing (YMMV - she did warn us that faster landings could be lively, but prepared us for that possibility and had us practice before and during the flight the position to adopt), after which we helped pack up the balloon envelope with her team of -again- very professional errmmm.... balloonists? Glass of champers and tasty nibbles afterwards, then we were ferried back to the tale-off point by Helena. Upshot? We had the most brilliant time and we thoroughly recommend Algarve Balloons!

A beautiful trip across the Algarve - The four of us made a beautiful balloon ride with Helena as an expert pilot. It was the first time for all of us in a balloon and we enjoyed the sunrise and the view over the landscape. Afterwards champagne and a lovely picnic. All in all a special event to remember. -Thank you. Connie, Fred, Kitty and Maarten

Bucket list - check. - This was a once in a lifetime experience. The company was extremely responsive to our inquiries, both in scheduling, and to follow up for confirmation. We stayed at a resort in Lagos, and were able to arrange transportation to the take off site for an additional fee. Fernando met us in the lobby, and was very personable. At the launch site, while the balloon was inflated, Daniel and Helena went over the safety briefing while we got to enjoy some tea, coffee, and light snacks. This, along with the background roosters singing, while the sun rose was the perfect start to the day. When the balloon was inflated, and upright, we got to board, and though we were a group of 10 strangers in a basket, it still felt like a private trip, as the basket was sectioned off nicely. The take off was smooth as we felt weightless flying up into the air. The views were breathtaking. Helena spoke on some Algarve history, and pointed out some key areas to look out for. The landing was equally as smooth, and we landed in a field. Once the balloon was packed away, we got to enjoy a light breakfast that consisted of some cheeses, crackers, and some veggie options . The sparking wine was a nice way to celebrate the beautiful trip we went on. We were provided with a flight certificate, and for those who drove to the departure site were transported back to their vehicles, and we were transported back to our resort. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a very beautiful place to enjoy the views from up above. Thank you to Helena, Fernando, and the rest of the crew for making this a very memorable experience

A fabulous birthday gift - It was just wonderful to fly across the Algarvian landscape as the sun rose. It was a beautiful experience which I would highly recommend. Above all, Helena and her team made the experience extra special with their knowledge of ballooning in other localities, the science of ballooning and their love of the Algarve.
