What people are saying about Dubai

Well I didn’t know that was on my bucket list until I tried it! It was amazing! And this from the lady who isn’t great at heights. Honestly had the best fun, felt totally safe and it was way more organised than expected. The pilots were completely qualified, they took the safety briefing seriously, the baskets are much bigger than expected and you are harnessed in. You know how to keep yourself from potential unjury and we had the bumpy British landing . The breakfast, camel ride and falcon experience add on were lovely but nothing can top the hot air balloon experience. It’s so sopeaceful up in the sky. For info I’m 55 hubby 71. We had no issues with it. Absolute must!

The whole family had such an extraordinary experience. From the driver to the pilot to the hosts at the camp, everyone was welcoming and made sure that we are comfortable and had fun. There was a drone show, of course the balloon ride for an hour, a trip to a camp , a delicious open buffet breakfast, camel ride and falcon encounter. It was an amazing trip for all ages from 9 to 45. Worth every penny. I would highly recommend and would go again.

Something different to try if not tried before, the view is not as clear as I would of expected it to be. There seems to be a cloudy view from up there. Never the less we enjoyed it and the service was spot on.

Really nice experience my daughter and I love it. They have professional people doing the activity. Easy to book through the app. They always keep in touch with you for wherever you need.

This is must it is an amazing experience… great company special experience captain of the flight was fabulous
