    Very very pleased with my experience! If you're debating on who to purchase your hot air balloon ride with, I 100% suggest balloon depot! Jay was great, kind and funny! He made our experience so much more entertaining, and truly works hard and has so much passion for the history of hot air ballooning!

    I would highly recommend Balloon Depot from Snohomish Washington. I appreciate the thought behind making sure it was safe by being aware of the weather and wind patterns. Since no one is in charge how fast winds can change he might have you rescheduled and I was good with knowing safety comes first. It is breathtaking and beyond words once you're able to ride in the hot air balloon. I knew my family and best friend were in good hands with his vast Knowledge, experience, and great sense of humor. Definitely want to make sure that you have a camera, so you can take those once in a lifetime pictures. Balloon Depot company is highly professional, a lot of fun, and incredible experience!

    10/10 recommend! Jay is super experienced, funny, and informative. The ride and views were amazing! We took off with 2 other companies and it definitely added to the experience to fly around with the other balloons :) we went on a clear day and along with getting to see all the mountains we got to see the Seattle Skyline!

    Stunning views over Snohomish

    A memorable and exciting adventure! My husband and I went for our 2 year anniversary and it was the perfect way to celebrate. Not only was it an absolutely stunning ride, but Jay was super professional and made the ride even more fun with his obvious passion for ballooning. Every flight is different based on the wind for the day, but he piloted us to a "splash and dash" on the river, which was a fun surprise! The champagne toast at the end was a great way to end a magical date. Highly recommend Balloon Depot to anyone wanting to get up in the sky!

    It was magical! I wish it could have lasted longer. The Champaign at the end was a nice treat.

    I had zero expectations on this. And my mind has been effing blown away. So far I can't find a hot air emoji so I'll improvise with this.

    Kyle and I had lots of fun paragliding with Steve and Drew! Arranging our reservation was simple…read moreand easy, getting to Tiger Mountain was a breeze, and hanging out in the air was fun! I think I was in denial the day of our trip, usually we get rained out or something and have to cancel our adventurous plans, and I didn't think we would actually be going. We got there super early and I was getting nervous watching people land. It was obvious who was still learning and who was a veteran. It was hot at the landing zone but it was much cooler while we were gliding. I highly recommend wearing a longsleeve shirt or light jacket. We were gliding for about 30 minutes, so worth the money! I haven't been skydiving but I don't think I will want to after this! You spend so much more time flying around for about the same amount of money and it doesn't feel as dangerous. We've found a new spot to take out of town guests for a nice hike with a pretty view of Lake Sammamish/ Mt Rainier and for an unusual outdoors activity!

    WOW! Paragliding was AMAZING!…read more I have been dreaming of going paragliding for years and am so excited that I finally got a chance to do it! I researched on-line and found amazing reviews of Steve with Parafly Paragliding LLC. Now after meeting Steve and flying tandem with him, I can say that the reviews are all absolutely on mark! He is the best! Steve has over 23 years of experience and felt confident of him as a pilot. I was excited and nervous, and Steve made sure I felt comfortable, safe, and had the best time, ever! As we were flying, Steve explained how to try to find the thermal pockets to make the flight last as long as possible, and made sure I relaxed, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and reminded me to breath! My flight lasted about 20 mins. and was absolutely breathtaking. Steve is a wonderful pilot, and am looking forward to my next flight with him! If you are thinking about paragliding - do it! It is an experience that you will never forget!

    A helicopter ride was on my bucket list. So, for my husband and my birthday (a day apart), I…read moresurprised him with a private tour. I booked Route C: The Cascade Mountains, Tiger Mountain, Cougar Mountain, Snoqualmie Falls, VMAC, Downtown Bellevue, Lake Washington, Medina Homes, the Space Needle, Downtown Seattle, Century Link Stadium, T-Mobile Park, and the Puget Sound. I asked him if he could take me to Auburn to get my hair blown out. He should have known something was up because I don't get my hair done....ever! When we drove near the Auburn Municipal Airport he said, "There's nothing back here but helicopters!". I told him, "Good thing because one of those is ours!" It was a great surprise and it just kept going up from there! Our pilot Nate, went through some safety measures and got us strapped in, and off we went. My husband had the biggest smile...and so did I. I was a little worried about motion sickness. I had taken a motion sickness pill about half an hour before, but it didn't feel like anything I imagined, dang anxieties! It was light and the only feeling I had was g-force every once in a while. The scenery was beautiful and the ride was smooth. Nate tried to give us information about the various places we were passing but my husband helped build most of everything he pointed out. We circled and hovered near the Space Needle and we could see the people inside pointing. It was awesome! We also had a really great shot of the mountain. Although I enjoyed flying over the buildings, the nature route was my favorite. The waterfall was breathtaking and we could see our shadow on the ground. It made for a cool photo. Zipping near the trees really gave us a sense of how fast we were going. I wish we could have gone further and flown for longer, but it had to come to an end. At least for now. This was a day we will never forget! Thank you for making our birthdays memorable, Nate! ​

    10/10 Hands down the most fun I have ever had in my entire life!…read more I took the girl of my dreams here on a surprise second date, and Craig, our pilot, after a friendly dose of teasing me for choosing such an insane second date, gave us a flight that noone will ever truly comprehend. There is zero chance a cooler or better pilot exists! Imagine a combination of Pete Mitchell, Luke Skywalker, and your brother-in-law that the whole family loves, and that's Craig. His flying skills are UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I can't stress that enough.... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! I have no idea how I got so lucky to be taken on such an incredible flight performance. Simply dazzling, I will tell this story for decades!! A helicopter ride in and of itself is incredible but Craig took us on a scene from an action movie. That was absolutely a highlight of my life. I can only speak for myself, but judging by my date's face the whole ride, I can confidently say she would say something similar. Thank you Craig, I appreciate that more than you will ever know!
