I went on a sunset hot air balloon flight with StrangeKind, and it was absolutely the best choice. The team was extremely friendly and fun. They also had a smaller basket, so you got to experience the skies in a quiet, more personal setting.

We had the most amazing experience with the StrangeKind Ballooning! From the moment we booked, they were incredibly easy to deal with and made everything feel effortless. The entire team was welcoming, personable, and genuinely kind - we felt more like guests than customers.

We had an amazing experience on our group balloon ride. They’re smaller baskets so it was almost like getting a private ride. My husband and I were on a ride with 1 other couple and our pilot Adam. We felt very safe and comfortable the whole time.

Absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, the hot air balloon ride was magical. The crew made us feel safe and comfortable, explaining everything clearly and keeping the atmosphere light and fun.

i had a wonderful experience that went above my expectations! the team was welcoming and friendly and you can just tell they love what they do and care about giving their riders an enjoyable experience.
