Taking Off Hot Air Balloon Co, Alabama, United States

Wonderful Flight!
Flying with Tommy was absolutely wonderful. He is a very competent and experienced pilot that takes his job very seriously. My husband and I went to celebrate his birthday and had to reschedule many times due to weather. But, it was so worth the wait! The entire experience was professional and so enjoyed by both of us. My husband said it was the best birthday present he has ever received. The views are spectacular over the rivers and trees. Great views of the bays and gulf could be seen. The landing was perfect and just as he described in his pre-flight briefing. The champagne ceremony at the end was just great. Can't wait to go again.

Simply Amazing!
Pilot Tommy, Mr. Victor, and Britni were honestly amazing to fly with! First and for most, they care for the passengers safety. They will take all forms of precaution necessary to make sure your trip will be well worth it. Precautions include using a pibal (helium balloon), checking on weather, wind current, and suitable places to launch and land. Pilot Tommy is extremely meticulous when it comes to flying, which says a lot about him, this man has many years under his belt. He honestly cares for the trip to be enjoyable and safe. We loved the hands on experience as well. It was such an eye opener for what it takes to function a hot air balloon. Once assembling was complete, taking off was fast. The views were breath taking. We saw The Gulf, Lake Shelby, many bays, we even saw all the way to Pascagoula, Mississippi. Loved how the balloon would climb and descend. Got to see the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thanks again guys!

Excellent Hot Air Balloon Ride
This exceeded our expectations. Tommy was very thorough in explaining to us what we could expect. He was thoughtful in asking our preferences flying over water or land. His years of experience made us feel safe. It was interesting to be part of the process of inflating and deflating the balloon. I would definitely recommend Tommy and his crew. He put our safety first and foremost.
