    Breathtaking experience and a must do at least once in your life time! I surprised my partner with this incredible experience and we are still floating on air (excuse the pun). From start to finish, it was fun, exhilarating, romantic and thrilling all at once. Phoebe, the owner, makes the ride that much more amazing with her expertise, kindness and outgoing personality! Her crew included Jeff and Scott, who made us laugh and filled our minds with fun facts and stories. If i could, I'd give Balloons Over Paso and Phoebe an overwhelming 10 stars! Thank you Phoebe, Jeff & Scott for memories of a lifetime!

    I couldn't have asked for a lovelier experience. First, you should know that I am afraid of heights. This balloon ride didn't change that but in all honesty, wasn't much of a big deal either! As soon as I got use to hearing the flames being triggered above our heads, it was just a peaceful, beautiful ride over Paso. The balloon ride was also more than I expected. The views, breathtaking, I wouldn't accept less, but then the conversation with our aeronaut about the history of the balloon and as he walked through the wind currents and so forth, I was even more amazed with our adventure. I highly recommend this company and this adventure to put on your bucket list.

    Paso Robles was the choice for our 4th annual family vacation, August 2022. Paso offered our family many options for fun. The best one being Balloons Over Paso! We loved our hot air balloon experience. Phoebe, the owner of BOP was a pleasure to work with beginning with emails to actually meeting her at 5:30am the day of our ride. Our experienced pilot, Jeff was a kick and so very, very skilled. He glided us above the plentiful vineyards, stunning homesteads and breathtaking country. It was my second hot air balloon ride and the first for my son-in-law, son and grandson. Perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime for some but I can't wait to go up again! My choice would be to go up with Balloons Over Paso anytime. Not only was the ride outstanding, the entire experience from beginning the conversation, to unpacking and inflating the balloon, to touching earth again was without a doubt the BEST! Thank you to Phoebe and team!

    Words can't express how much we enjoyed this flight! Phoebe was so personable when booking and the crew was amazing. Jeff, our pilot, made us feel comfortable above the ground. The ground crew, Scott, Hailey and Phoebe, made it all look so seemless and we were give. the opportunity to go inside the balloon for a family picture. The intimate ride was a dream come true for my dad and we are so thankful our first ride was with Balloons over Paso. Phoebe even gave my daughter bubbles and paper helicopters to launch in the air. The champagne, sparkling cider and chocolate chip cookies at the end was the perfect touch for a memory that will last a lifetime.

    Let there be !

    I surprised my girlfriend for her 30th birthday with a trip to the Paso Robles area. While we had a terrific time wine tasting such great vineyards like ecluse, I knew my girlfriend would want to do more, so I reached out to a Balloons Over Paso, and to my surprise, Phoebe, the owner/pilot got back to me immediately. The very next day we were treated to scenic vistas of the various vineyards by Phoebe herself. The views were memorable but Phoebe's ebullient personality and youthful wonderment made the experience what it was - an intimate, personal experience.

    Afraid of heights?

    Hello Prakash! We have taken many passengers who may have a fear of heights. Ballooning does not offer the adrenaline rush one may get from something like skydiving, however it still brings excitement. We always assure our passengers if afraid,… Read more

    The reason for writing this review is twofold. First, I want to share my experience with everyone…read morewho may be considering Toast Tours. Second and most importantly, I wanted to thank Toast Tours for a wonderful and memorable experience, from beginning to end. My Wife and I were making our first visit to the Central Coast, and decided that visiting some local wineries would be a nice way to get more acquainted with the area. I liked some of the reviews I had seen on Yelp regarding Toast Tours, as well as watching a a few quick YouTube vids before contacting them. From the very start, Kristina was a huge help. Thank you again. I conveyed some of what were looking to do on this trip, as well as our past experiences in Napa and Sonoma. Kristina did a masterful job of giving us options. Some more mainstream and like we have experienced before, as well as some smaller, boutique style options. Every question, she had an answer and suggestion for, and when we decided to book, I was confident in our choices. Toast Tours also takes care of the reservations, so that's one less thing to worry about as well. We chose to visit three wineries; Tablas, DAOU, and Ciento. All three were an amazing experience (I'll write more about those individually on their pages). I do want to highlight Ciento, however. This was a direct recommendation from Kristina, and they really stole the show. We would have never known or visited this wonderful winery if it wasn't for Kristina and Toast Tours. Our driver, Jimmy, was on time and extremely courteous. He has a wealth of wine knowledge, as well as local area knowledge, and he shared them in a fun and engaging way. He was a great help at each of the wineries, getting us in and out with our reservations, while also assising with our purchases. Thanks again, Jimmy!. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and they provide water and some small snacks, if needed. Another thing I want to mention that was very nice as well is the price. While these types tours can be a bit pricey at times, I feel their rates are more than reasonable. Kristina itemizes everything beforehand, so there are no surprises. If you decide to make some small changes to the itinerary, Toast Tours will work with you, and give you the cost differential. Exceptional service from top to bottom, and I would gladly and confidently book with Toast Tours again..

Because of their location in Moss Landing, we saw several whales within minutes of leaving the harbor. In addition, we saw otters, sea lions, and dolphins. Both the captain and guide were professional and checked on us during the excursion. Also very knowledgeable and shared lots of great info. The boat is not as big as some of the tours we saw, which was nice because we all got a great view without being on top of each other. Highly recommend for all those reasons. The big plus is location. Don't have to deal with traffic getting in/out of Monterrey.

Capt Kate doesn't book the boat full this way everyone has a great view 3. The boat itself is more suitable for an optimal viewing experience 4. Capt Kate will seek out various viewing opportunities. 5. Capt Kate keeps a respectful distance to the whale and never chases them 6. It's out of Moss Landing which is right where the activity is. Most other whale watching companies go out of the Fisherman's Wharf which means you have to spend 30-40 minutes traveling just to spend 35 minutes with the whales and then spend another 40 minutes it's traveling back. Bottom line you get more bang for your buck with Blue Ocean and it is truly a whale watching EXPERIENCE rather than a boat ride.

    Absolutely incredible experience with Fast Raft Ocean Safaris & Captain Kate!…read more If you're anywhere near the Monterey Peninsula, local or visiting, you must experience Fast Raft Ocean Safaris. We had the privilege of heading out with Captain Kate, and what unfolded was truly beyond words. We witnessed countless humpback whale calves breaching all around us-so many that we didn't know which direction to look-left, right, behind the boat...it felt like nature's ballet on full display! The raft itself is impeccable-comfortable, smooth, and incredibly close to the water, which makes the encounters feel all the more intimate and powerful. It's small-group, thoughtfully guided, and environmentally conscious. Captain Kate's knowledge, passion, and deep respect for the ocean and its creatures created a sense of reverence and wonder that elevated the whole journey. This is not your average whale-watching tour-it's in a league of its own. A soul-stirring, jaw-dropping, life-affirming kind of outing. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Whether you're a local looking to reconnect with the majesty of your own backyard or a visitor hoping for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is the one to book. Truly unforgettable.
