We had an excellent experience with Seattle Ballooning! Eliav was a great pilot and so enthusiastic about flying, it really enhanced the experience. I loved that the other pilot was a woman, so cool to see her flying as well. I loved that we not only got to take a ride, but also got to learn so much history about ballooning.

Had a great experience with Zack (pilot) made the ride extremely comfortable, I had taken my 7 year old daughter and he was very sure to make her feel as comfortable as possible and make it the best possible experience for her, from take off to landing i would highly suggest any of my personal friends or family to do this, and I would go again in a heart beat as well. Thank you for this extraordinary experience Zack and thank you to Seattle ballooning for the great communication, the weather isn't always permitting but they do a great job on communicating and making sure it works out for there customers.
