The hot air balloon
Marta G.

From start to finish, this was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had! The entire team was fantastic -- so professional, yet incredibly warm and friendly. The sky was so clear and see the sunrise from above was so magical, can't wait to do it again and if you're considering a hot air balloon ride, I can't recommend this team enough!!!

An incredible experience that is definitely worth the 5:15am start time. We had the chance to watch them begin to inflate the hot air balloon before we got into the basket. There were four compartments in the basket for guests and we were able to have our own section so it felt very spacious. It was a very smooth ride and there were also a couple of skydivers with us. The staff were extremely friendly and shared fun stories with us while we were in the air. The views were incredible and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a fun and unique experience.

My girlfriend and I visited Skyline for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. It was so much better than we were anticipating so worth waking up at 4 in the morning to make the drive. We got there before the sun came up, picked up in a van from a meeting location, and brought to the balloon. When we got there the whole team was already there preparing the balloon for flight. We were given some champagne, opportunities to take photos, and were shown how the balloon fills up with the hot air, very cool. Our flight I believe was a little over an hours, maybe closer to an hour and a half. Our pilot was amazing, with a lot of knowledge and a real passion for flying. Maybe the coolest part was being on a balloon with skydivers. People jumping out of hot air balloons was never a thought that had crossed my mind, but now I know it's an adrenaline junkies dream. The whole team over at Skyline Balloons is top notch. Very kind, personable, and comforting, which is a big deal when your two miles high! HIGHLY recommend!

My 1st hot air balloon ride with friends was so much fun! Skyline balloon was a really memorable experience for us.They were punctual, very friendly staff and convenient. They see to it that they keep you updated and they are very easy to reach for questions about your flight reservations. I highly recommend - Add this on your bucket list . You will not regret.

Was initially extremely worried with booking here due to the lack of recent reviews. I was luckily surprised and had an AMAZING experience. Surprised a family member and it was so much fun, 100% worth it although you are a bit squished into the basket. All the staff were kind and helpful :)

All of the amazing people who were in the balloon and one of the crew

An incredible experience that is definitely worth to wake up early. Our pilot (Dee) is funny and very knowledgeable! He made sure we our safe the whole flight. All of the crew are incredibly amazing! They really work so hard. Janet helped us booked our experience and she made sure we had everything filled out, tell us all of the informations the meet up time and location. Definitely recommend it plus if you want to have a perfect experience a skydiver visual is a must! You'll see all the brave skydivers jump out of the balloon!

This was super fun! Skydivers in the morning are cool to watch to. I recommend the 6am sunrise flight. Our pilot DEE was hilarious and a jolly man. I would do it again Thank you!

The actual experience was amazing. I recommend it to absolutely anyone. The booking process was difficult. I don't recommend using Groupon unless you don't have a specific booking date in mind. Our pilot was Rachel, she was amazing. And our crew leader was Jeremy. He was a great at his job. The breakfast and wine vouchers don't expire so you don't have to use them the same day. But we did and had no issues. Overall if you are thinking about it, do it!!!

Hiking on steep hills

Not the experience I expected. I purchased a Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Experience, breakfasts at the Bombshelter and champagne toast for 2. I was hoping to see picturesque mountain views, lush wineries and a birds eye view of Perris and Temecula. Instead our group got a sunrise view from the van that picked us up at 5:30 AM. We were notified that a group was going ahead of us to go skydiving after we checked in at 5:30. We were advised having a group ahead of us should only take a 30 min delay from our original take off time. The 1st group got up really high, they need to be a certain altitude to jump off and sky dive. It took longer than 30 mins for the set-up, take off and for us to locate where the balloon landed so we can start our experience. By the time we started our ride it was already 8:00 AM. We took off from an open field at Perris where our balloon was just hovering and was on and off the ground full of trash. Our group asked our pilot Doug if we are ever going to take off / go higher and he said we could not because of high winds, it was already too late to go high up, if we did we might end up in Orange County. Then why did we not take off our scheduled time? Why did they double book? Why not reschedule our ride so we get a good experience? Why did they ask us to come so early, just for us to sit around and wait until the 1st group got done? Everyone in our group felt we were robbed. If we hovered and bounced around a field in Perris but was able to go on the time we were originally scheduled to go, it would've been fine. If we waited 3 1/2 hours in the van but had the same experience as the 1st group, it would've been ok. We also hiked steep hills just for us to get picked up by the van. Our time and morning was wasted. I am glad we have a great group of people who were not afraid to speak their mind and let the crew know how we feel. The crew was nice, they made an effort hanging a birthday banner and took great pictures. I know the wind is not their fault, but scheduling 2 trips when they know the wind can be unpredictable after a certain time was not cool. Dave saying we get what we paid for was a little upsetting, yes I used a Groupon to buy the deal, but how would I know about the deal if not for Groupon? Even though I used Groupon I still paid a lot of money for the experience. I hope this review help everyone thinking about going.

Mike, his wife, and all the crew were fantastic. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, very helpful, had a great time. Would love to do it again in a heartbeat. Recommend Skyline Balloons tremendously , thanks again for a great time.

8am Flight

Mike was such a great pilot! He educated us on the history of hot air balloons and did a fantastic job guiding us through the air. I would highly recommend this activity to friends and family.

Leslie H.

Great experience with breathtaking views and awesome pilot! Definitely recommend. Meet-up is bright and early, but it was worth it. The balloon was in the air just before sunrise. Our pilot, Dee, was hilarious, engaging, and obviously skilled. I'm scared of heights and never felt concerned or uncomfortable. If you're ever in the area, go with Skyline!

Dee Johnson was very nice and helpful when scheduling our Trip. I purchased ticket through Groupon for My boyfriends birthday. Please note that they don't have the option to pre-select date through Groupon. Visit site and call number listed and talk to Dee. There may be an extra fee associated with reservation date. Suggestion: take a good camera, warm jacket and pants trust me it gets chili in the morning! There are about 13-14 people in basket. The basket is divided into 4 little baskets inside, holding about 3-4 people. One big basket in middle for the navigator and tank. FYI, it gets pretty warm with the heat from balloon i could feel it in my neck. We received two coupons which was nice! We will save these for next time. Oh and there is a discount if you decide to do this again! Just talk to Dee! Overall great experience, and wonderful idea for birthdays!

This place is definitely tucked away and unassuming from the outside but this is such a cool spot!…read more We took a trip 3 hrs from home to attend a birthday indoor skydiving event and though we didn't know what to expect we were guided through the whole process by a super cool instructor named Amberly. She gave us a little training beforehand and then we all made our way to the tube. I've been legit skydiving before but this experience is different for sure! I'd totally love to come back and get more time in the tunnel and learn to do the awesome tricks Amberly showcased for us! Afterward we got to see video and photo of our flights as well. For $17 you can purchase an additional "high flight" during your time in the tunnel. After we finished up flying we headed around the back towards the pool area where across, they also have "The Bombshelter" which is a super cool little restaurant that serves a ton of different things to munch on! There was tons of photos of skydivers, and old photos of instructors all over the walls to look at and admire while you wait. The day we came was a day an event was also taking place for skydiving so it was popping and tons of people were about and diving so it was really cool to watch that while we ate and swam! Definitely a cool experience! My daughter keeps saying she wants to go again and even real skydiving!! Shoutout to Amberly who's such a badass! Keep it up girl!

It was my first ever skydive and I'll definitely be returning. I jumped with John D around 7:30AM…read moreand he was amazing, professional and confident which made me feel sure about the jump. I loved it 10/10 view, experience and memory Buy the video it's funny kind of cringe but worth it

FINALLY DID IT!!! We scheduled this ride twice before but was canceled both times due to bad…read moreweather conditions. Well third time was a charm! Drove out to Perris and had to be there by 6am. When we arrived we were greeted with donuts and coffee. yay! nothing major i know but still kind gesture. Also, while you wait if you need to use the restroom, Porta- Potties only. We got divided into three groups and my friend and i ended up in the second group. Which was pretty cool as the 2nd group had to jump in the van and meet up with the balloon once the ride was over for group #1. So we were hot air balloon chasers. Once it was our turn, the balloon itself has four compartments where two (maybe three) people fit in each compartment. The pilot stands in the center. So in total there were 9 of us in the balloon. The ride itself was very peaceful. Theres something surreal about the dead quiet of the sky. silence. It was a pretty cool experience and i would recommend it for those looking for a low impact thrill. We were probably in the air for about 45 minutes. Once we landed, gracefully i may say, we drove back to where we started and were greeted with our certificates and mimosas :) Overall, great experience!!! THANK YOU.

Back in January, I purchased a hot air balloon ride for me and my boyfriend. It was supposedly…read moresemi-private. Mind you-- this was when there were heavy cases of COVID early in the pandemic, when cases were many, and before vaccines were available to the public. This is a big reason why I booked the semi-private ride. The person who I talked to over the phone explained there would be other couples on the ride, but that we would all be reasonably spaced out. I thought, "The more space, the better, we'll have our face masks on, and it's outdoors...okay. Cool." The first time we were booked for February, they had to cancel due to inclement weather. Got it. Totally understandable. I rescheduled for March. Come March, I was informed to show up as early as 5:00 a.m. which my boyfriend and I did. No one was there, except another couple who said they also received the same instructions. There was no amber beacon outside to which the instructions told us to all gather and meet as it was dark and still night. As it was getting closer to 5:45, the office calls us back and tells us to drive towards the front where the entrance is, and low and behold-- the amber beacon and ride signs that weren't there, are NOW there, and my boyfriend and I figure, "Ok. Not cool that the amber beacon wasn't on and lit upon our arrival, but whatever. Nbd. There are no actual lines, just a blob of spaced out people, so I go to the closest thing that looks like a line to check in. NO ONE TOLD US that during the day of the hot air balloon ride, that we would be placed in 2 groups... and the WAIT TIME if you're in the 2nd group!!! My boyfriend and I -- put in the 2nd group. We didn't go to our boarding site until 2 HOURS LATER after checking in. When driving in the van to the site, 2 other couples are already agitated and angry as well: one couple mad about additional hotel fees because of their now late check out, the other couple upset that they were going to get to a family gathering super late because of the long drive that followed the balloon ride. We get to the hot air balloon site, and it sure as hell DOES NOT LOOK reasonably spaced. It's literally a basket STUFFED with 7 people, minus my boyfriend and I because we were shocked and already pissed off having been there since 5:00 a.m. to board on at 8:00 a.m., and not at all feel comfortable of the view of overcrowded people on the "semi-private" hot air balloon ride. I talk to the van driver Miriam asking her if my boyfriend and I can just get a refund because there was no way in hell we were going to get in the overcrowded, ZERO-SPACED basket. Miriam said to talk to the manager Janet. HERE ARE MY ISSUES WITH JANET: * Upon speaking with her, she did not agree with ANY of the problematic factors that had occurred during that morning: the amber beacon that wasn't on OR lit as it was mentioned it would be upon first arriving, the disorganization with the lines or the fact that there were no check-in lines when checking in-- just a spaced out crowd. THE ZERO COMMUNICATION in being placed in 2 groups and THE ADDITIONAL WAIT TIME of having to wait for the OTHER group to get back. * The fact that she was EXTREMELY RUDE. I told her about the other couples in the van ride who were just as upset, and then she asks me as to how come those couples weren't complaining to her and what were their names?? How should I know?! We were all venting to the driver Miriam about how upset and frustrated we were with the whole process and experience (YOU CAN ASK MIRIAM) Those other couples sure as hell weren't as angry as me or my boyfriend were, but I know if I'm not happy with something, best believe I'm going to do something about it-- hence me reaching out for the refund when this happened, and yes, hence this Yelp review. * Janet said she would not be able to give us our refund because the owner would have to do that to which Janet ALSO disclosed-- the owner's spouse had died which made the owner indisposed at that time. With the greatest respect-- my sincere condolences to the owner and her spouse, but that has NOTHING to do with me. Also, isn't it Janet's job-- TO MANAGE while the owner is indisposed?? THANK GOD I booked this activity through Groupon, because I eventually got my refund. Overall, this was a horrible experience: Extremely unorganized,TERRIBLE communication, UNPROFESSIONAL, and horribly inaccurate instructions on email for day-of event:"amber beacon" with "balloon rides" sign were not on or present upon arrival and were only visible once it was closer to 6:00 that morning. I'm typically a very positive reviewer on Yelp. I only ever give positive reviews on businesses and services on here. You can even check my page. But I'm not going to set any other paying customer up for failure and especially with an experience that affected me so negatively. I hope this helps readers deciding know what they're about to get themselves into.
