Great experience, 10/10 would recommend. - Great experience! They were willing to pick me up from my Airbnb which was super nice. Overall the balloon ride went super smooth. Weather was gorgeous too and the pilot was great company too.

A beautiful, peaceful experience- already planning to do it again - A truly wonderful experience- and one I’m already planning to repeat. I flew with Smile Balloons last year on 8 May, with pilot Vytas, over the Trakai area. It was honestly one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. Everything felt calm, well organised and completely safe, and the flight itself was beautiful. I was surprised by how peaceful it felt- not scary at all, just genuinely special. I’m visiting Lithuania again this year and contacted them to arrange another flight. They replied extremely quickly and were just as helpful and flexible as before, especially with finding the best date depending on the weather. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a hot air balloon flight in Lithuania. It’s not something you forget. — Nuostabi patirtis, kurią tikrai norisi pakartoti. Praėjusių metų gegužės 8 d. skridau su Smile Balloons oro balionu virš Trakų apylinkių, su pilotu Vytu. Tai buvo viena įsimintiniausių patirčių, kokias esu turėjusi- viskas buvo labai ramiai, sklandžiai ir profesionaliai suorganizuota, o pats skrydis buvo be galo gražus. Man ypač patiko tai, kad visai nebuvo baisu- priešingai, buvo labai ramu ir ypatinga. Šiemet vėl būsiu Lietuvoje ir susisiekiau dėl kito skrydžio. Atsakė labai greitai, maloniai ir lanksčiai, padėjo suderinti galimus variantus pagal orus ir datas. Tikrai rekomenduoju visiems, kurie svarsto skrydį oro balionu Lietuvoje. Tai patirtis, kuri išlieka ilgam.

Up and Away — An Adventure Not to be Missed - This was a really exceptional experience, and I recommend it to everyone! I really wanted to try flying in a hot air balloon and on our early morning flight we saw some amazing scenery. This is probably among the most amazing things I’ve done this year. They were just six of us in the basket of the balloon with our pilot, Artiom, who not only is a registered pilot, but also has been skydiving, in addition to his skill as a balloon operator. We all felt confident in his hands. The Smile Balloon people picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off afterward. We communicated through WhatsApp and we had to be flexible because balloon flights depend on the weather and prevailing winds. So, in this case, we left early and we flew over Trakai Castle, so you should be prepared to change your plans and reschedule your activities to fit in the weather.

Amazing ride over Trakai - Book now. Don't wait. An absolutely magical experience flying over Trakai. We had booked for a Sunday, and due to the weather being bad for flying, they managed to get us in on Saturday instead - I loved that they proactively reached out and worked with us to get us scheduled earlier. The flight was peaceful and beautiful, and absolutely worth it

Wonderful 10/10 - Amazing flight over trakai. Whole staff and a pilot are great people. The flight was magical with an escort of aeroplanes which came and next to us after the pilot contacted them via radio.
