Hot air balloon

Overall a very good experience! Exceeded expectations. ! The pilot and the crew were very personable and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend this company for sunrise hot air balloon rides. Also look into booking WesleyVideo (on instagram) or wesleyvideo.com to have pictures and videos taken during the experience.

Excellent experience with Cielo Balloons. It was a surprise experience for my husband and we both loved it. Staff made everything really comfortable and every employee was really attentive. 5 stars!

Hot air balloon.

Such a wonderful time! Dylan is an excellent pilot. The whole ride was smooth and we were in the air for an hour. The sunrise ride is definitely worth it and compared to the other balloons in the air, this company stood out for all good reasons.

My boyfriend surprised me with this incredible, hot air, balloon ride! Woke my ass up at 4 AM but believe me it was all worth it. Josh was our pilot and was incredible but what stood out to me the most was the team and how quick and efficiently they were able to set the balloons up as well as make sure that the weather conditions were safe for us to enjoy the ride. I really liked that. The set up team were excited to take pictures for us. There was six of us plus the pilot in one basket and we all fit pretty comfortably. I wasn't expecting to have to climb into the basket (I thought maybe there was a door to get in), but everyone is super helpful for those who struggle to climb over things. I was mesmerized by the views in the whole experience . I really like the little history lesson Josh gave us about hot air balloons, and how it started. After we landed we were treated with some Prosecco, juice and delicious Bundt cupcakes. Oh, by the way, the landing was pretty seamless!

Morning arrival

EXCELLENT!!!!! Reached out via text to get additional details for the ride and birthday options. Joe was prompt and super helpful with all my questions. Our meet up time was 4:45am, upon arriving to our meeting spot, there was a gentleman guiding us to the parking area. We then boarded their van where they took us to the take off spot. with We were able to do a last bathroom stop before leaving. Once they found the perfect spot, our adventure began, they set up so quickly that we we were up in the air in no time, and as promised we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. We were up in the air until Joe found the perfect landing location, he made us feel safe and we landed with no issues. Once we landed, we had mimosas and bundlets, perfect way to end our morning. The entire team was excellent, courteous and professional. Can't wait to come back again and share this experience with the rest of friends and family.

We had an amazing time celebrating my bday with my girlfriends. The pilot and support team were very nice and knowledgeable about the area. We felt safe and well taken care of. The cupcakes and mimosas were a nice touch. Highly recommend this outfitter.

My guy surprised me with a balloon ride and it was soo much fun! Definitely sketchy getting there,…read morebut worth it in the end (thank you crew for helping my guy surprise me). This is something we've been wanting to do for a while now, and Compass did a great job of making everything special. The views were phenomenal! The pilot was very knowledgeable and was pointing out what everything was (very helpful for me since I don't know the area very well). This was also during fire season, so we got a cool view of the mountains with a layer of ocean fog and a layer of smoke. There was one other balloon flying the same day, and it was a bit sad to see them going higher than us. They also started before us and landed after we did. The pilot was trying to explain that it's all based on the air and whatnot, but I'm not sure how accurate that is when another balloon is showing differently at the same time. Anywho, I still really enjoyed the whole experience! Few things that weren't great: 1 I went across the street to the gas station to use the restroom before we left, and the van had followed me over there without telling me. A truck or something ended up blocking them, so I walked back across the street to look for them. I didn't have my phone or anything and had to use a stranger's phone to find out where they were. Unfortunately, the stranger also spoiled the surprise that my guy worked soo hard for 2 there was supposed to be some snackies included (cheese, fresh fruit), but we did not get any 3 things felt pretty rushed the whole time we were there Overall, would definitely recommend this to others! I truly enjoyed this. Shoutout to my amazing guy for planning it all!

Absolutely recommend Compass Balloons--10/10 experience!…read more My husband and I booked a flight to celebrate our anniversary, and it was beyond worth it. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime, bucket list experiences, and we'll never forget it. Ryan was our pilot and did an incredible job--friendly, professional, and made us feel completely safe from start to finish. The ground crew (Hector, Alejandro, and one other team member) were also fantastic--super helpful and made the whole experience seamless. We've already started telling all our friends to book a flight. Huge thanks to the Compass Balloons team for making our anniversary so memorable!

My boyfriend and I were able to fly with balloon rides online through a living social rate that was…read morediscounted. I normally don't buy living socials, but this deal seemed too good to pass up. I like how living social has the regular price and the discounted price, it makes you feel like you are saving a lot of money. I called Balloon Rides Online and asked about the pricing beforehand and they said it was $250 per person! I was glad that I had purchased the living social because it was half that price. My voucher was good for both locations they offer, but we chose Temecula. Even though it was good for mon-thursday, it worked in our favor because there weren't too many people and it was really nice and cozy experience. the pilot was great, has been doing it for years and is pretty funny. some of the jokes are corny, but because of that reason, we laughed a lot. a for effort! balloon experience was wonderful, and the views from above are breathtaking. feels like you are floating in the sky. would definitely do it again!

I had a very disappointing experience with Balloon Rides Online…read more I purchased vouchers for 4 people (about $450 total) through BuyWithMe, which this company DID have a relationship with--despite initially denying it when I contacted them. Only after I produced documentation did they acknowledge it. Now, when I tried to use the vouchers, they refused to honor them entirely. Their reasoning keeps changing: first claiming the vouchers were invalid, then saying they expired, and now claiming they were "forfeited." They are also refusing to provide any credit or refund, even for the amount originally paid, which raises serious concerns under California consumer protection laws. To be clear: I paid for a service tied to this business, and they are now taking the position that the entire value is gone, while offering only a small "discount" to rebook. This feels less like a good-faith business and more like an attempt to avoid honoring prior obligations. I would strongly recommend avoiding them.
