What our passengers say after their first balloon ride
After every landing, we ask our passengers what they thought, and a few things come up again and again: a calm nobody was expecting, the nerves that vanish the moment you lift off, and a view that stays with you longer than you'd think. Below is a selection from our 26 customer reviews — every one a genuine comment from a passenger who flew with us.
In their own words
So peaceful, and yet so special
“I'd expected a balloon ride to be thrilling, but what struck me most was how incredibly calm it was. The view over the fields, church towers and little villages was beautiful.”
Jürgen made for a relaxed flight
“I had a touch of healthy nerves beforehand, but Jürgen's calm briefing put that to rest quickly. The flight was fantastic and the landscape below us kept changing.”
A brilliant day with the family
“Went up in the balloon with the family and everyone loved it. The kids thought take-off was amazing, and we especially enjoyed the view.”
A fantastic gift
“I'd never been up in a hot-air balloon before and was a little nervous beforehand. Johan put me at ease straight away. Once we were up, all the nerves were gone.”
The perfect surprise
“My partner had no idea what we were doing. When the balloon appeared, the surprise was complete. The flight itself was wonderful.”
Blissful, drifting over the region like that
“The calm up there is hard to describe. You're literally drifting above the Westhoek, seeing the landscape in a completely different way.”
One thing stands out once you've read enough of these: almost nobody mentions nerves or a fear of heights afterwards. Most passengers are simply surprised by how quiet and calm it is once you leave the ground. Want to read more? See all 26 reviews, averaging 5 out of 5 stars.
