Best Ride of my life!!! - If you love adventure and want to experience something new while traveling, like me, then definitely go to Armenia and book a balloon flight with your loved ones. I'm a person who loves spontaneous decisions, but I took my best friend with me who is afraid of heights and she managed it really well. Probably the best experience in my life. When we took off, we were given Rafaela, prosecco and had music playing throughout the flight. It was really incredible, I felt like I was in a dream. SKyball is an amazing company and I can only recommend it to everyone. Our balloon pilot is very professional, don't worry, everything is really 100% safe, you will feel at home with them. They will explain everything to you, show you, it's really worth it. With this review, I would like to thank the whole team for such a wonderful day, I will definitely recommend the balloon flight to everyone. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing the mountains of Armenia from a height and enjoying this feeling. At the end, we had a short meeting. And if you're thinking about going on a hot air balloon ride in the winter and you're worried that you'll be cold, don't worry, you won't be. I don't like winter, I was there when it was -5 degrees, but the heat from the balloon warms you up. So don't hesitate a minute and enjoy yourself!

A breathtaking experience a breathtaking experience! ✨ - During our trip, we had the opportunity to take our first hot air balloon flight. I knew it was going to be a breathtaking experience, but I never could have imagined it would be so incredible. It’s truly an experience to live at least once in your life. Furthermore, we could not have been better surrounded than by this team; everything was perfect. They are true professionals who know exactly what they are doing, and the most important thing is that they do it from the heart. I can only be grateful for this experience.

Closer to space)))) - An unforgettable event in my life. To go up into the sky and float there for 40 minutes in a hot air balloon is cool. The views are incomparable. Organization at the highest level. I recommend it to everyone and they also issue an aeronaut certificate). And the cherry on the cake is to sit after the flight and eat fruit and look at the top of Ararat. 😍😍😍

An Unforgettable Adventure: Awe-Inspiring Hot Air Balloon Ride! - My very first hot air balloon ride, and I am still buzzing with excitement! From start to finish, this adventure was nothing short of spectacular. The professionalism of the pilot and crew, combined with the breathtaking scenery, made it an experience that will forever hold a special place in my heart. The journey began with a prompt and comfortable pickup from our designated location. The crew greeted us with warm smiles, an air of excitement and of course hot drinks and cookies to kick off the early morning instantly put us at ease. They exuded a genuine passion for their work and ensured that everyone felt safe and comfortable. As we ascended into the sky, my senses were overwhelmed by the sheer beauty that unfolded before my eyes. The panoramic view of the landscape was simply awe-inspiring. I felt like I was floating in a dream, surrounded by the serenity of nature, with every worry and stress left far behind on the ground. Manuk our pilot is superb! His skillful control of the ascent, descent, and gentle maneuvers ensured a smooth and enjoyable ride. His knowledge about the local area added an extra layer of fascination to the experience. The landing was as smooth as the rest of the journey, with our pilot expertly guiding the balloon back to earth. Once on solid ground, we were treated to a delightful celebration with champagne and light refreshments (not to mention the unique aviation awarding of diploma). It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable adventure. If you happen to visit Armenia and seeking a truly remarkable experience I highly recommend to try Skyball hot air balloon ride. Whether you're an adventure enthusiast or simply looking for a unique way to appreciate the beauty of the world from above, this is an absolute must-do.
