Top Dubai Hot Air Balloon Rides

Once in a Lifetime Experience! This is a MUST DO if you are in Dubai! This was one of the best tours my husband and I did while visiting Dubai. From beginning to end, it was amazing.Mauricio was our driver and host for the day, and he was fantastic—prompt with our hotel pickup, very engaging, and incredibly informative during the drive out to the balloon launch site. Upon arrival, we were given reusable water bottles and safety instructions for the balloon ride.It was the most perfect day! Our original flight was canceled due to high winds, so we rescheduled—and we are so happy we did. The weather was perfect. We had about a 45-minute balloon ride, reaching up to about 4,000 feet. We were accompanied by a falconer and his bird, who did a short demonstration while we were in the air.Before landing, we were briefed on the possibility of a bumpy landing, but we couldn’t have asked for a better pilot. Usually, the basket tips over—but not this time. We glided in with just a few bumps and came to a stop upright.Following the balloon ride, we headed to the Platinum Heritage camp for a delicious private breakfast and a camel ride. Everyone there was very helpful and courteous.All in all, it was a great experience and one we would highly recommend!

What a unique experience I will remember forever. We were picked up from the hotel at 4am with a brand new Defender and took us 1hr drive to the desert. There we met the pilot, we were given a safety brief and then the adventure started. After the flight, we were offered coffee, tea and cookies. We were also given a thermos and a box of goodies as a gift. We slept all the way back to the hotel. Our guide was very nice- I am sorry I cannot recall his name but I remember him saying he was the only Indian in the team.

It was a perfectly organized trip from the first to the last second! From the Jeep ride through the friendliest of friendly people Ebraima, to the balloon ride with Captain Hosam and Jaffar the Falcon! It's great. The ride in the Ballom was breathtaking and just in time. The sunrise was a dream. I can only recommend this experience to anyone who has this opportunity. Hosam, the captain has explained everything to us in the last detail. He was wonderful. Even the subsequent breakfast left nothing missing about the previous. A top trip that was definitely worth his money! Thank you. From us 10 out of 5 points. Thank you!!! Thank you Ibrahim, thank you Hosam, thank you guide of Jaffar and thank you Jaffar himself. Thank you also to the entire team of Hero Ballon flights Dubai for this exciting and unforgettable experience

A fantastic experience on Christmas morning from start to finish! Our driver Saif was so professional and helpful from the time he collected us at our hotel. He briefed us on the excursion and also the history of Dubai. Our hot air balloon Pilot gave a great safety overview. The Baloon ride was fab and an effortless landing. The falcon display by the guy on board was fun. Following the landing, we had a camel ride followed by a fab 5-star breakfast. Highly recommended. Fran and Bryan, Ireland

We’ve done a number of balloon rides all over the world but this one reigned supreme.. from the pilot to the crew to the accompanying naturalist with his falcon, the trip was beyond the best ever. The camel ride and breakfast almost too beautiful to eat, the kindness and intelligence, our lovely waiter from Togo, a stunning camp, bathrooms right out of a design magazine, gazelles coming into camp. Beautifully maintained and perfectly articulated product. Wow just wow. 10 stars.

It was our honeymoon and our first tour in Dubai. Long story short, we had a really great time.The Falcon show in the sky was super and the breakfast was also great even though it was too hot to seat our table.Overall, it was the best tour.Nikky is the best tour guide. Very kind and nice, even funny!!

Simply a fantastic well organised and run experience from pick up to drop off. The ballon crew and Captain true professionals and the falcon just a fantastic bird. The breakfast equally well done. A big thankyou to ALL the crew involved who make this a truely memorable experience.

The best experience ever from the Safari, food, and Falcon show with big thanks to Gyver, Nizar, Neil, and Mahdi for making it unforgettable.

If you have a phobia of height and getting scared to do this hot air balloon then do not worry, just relax as this company have professional Pilots who will get you this experience without any scary take offs and landings. You will be in their safe hands. I experienced a hot air balloon ride with Hero Balloon Flight of Hero Experience Group, and it was nothing short of magical. A dream come true moment for me. I was simply amazed by lovely view that our mother earth had to offer. Dubai’s desert view looked amazing from high up in the sky. The entire team were excellent from Driver Hamza Zizinga. He was a person with full of positive energy. Kawa and dates were served followed by drone show. One of the highlights of the ride was the in-flight falcon experience, this is the only company which is accompanied by a falcon. The majestic falcon soaring alongside us with his trainer Mr Hameed (Falconer) did exceptional job of entertaining us and handling a bird in a right way. After landing we had an experience of mini desert ride in the vintage Land Rover to the camp for our breakfast added cherry of top of icing cake. Shiru our camel gave us a bumpy jumpy ride. A welcome drink and wet towels were provided followed by michelin styled breakfast. The service staff, Mr Chaker and Mr Johnny were very polite and they served us and also clicked our photos. A big thank you to Mr Neil, Mr Gyver and his office team; they were amazing, without them it was impossible to experience this hot air balloon ride. They made my booking process seamless. It was my lucky day on which I contacted them. They are nothing less than champions. Overall, Hero Balloon Flight exceeded all our expectations which made my experience memorable.

An experience that will last a lifetime! Stunning view, kind and knowledgeable staff, you feel safe at all times. Breathtaking experience! Breakfast was fresh, delicious and in abundance. Ali our guide was patient, helpful and great! Chalek was our waiter and he was attentive and so helpful. Thank you to the Prince to provide us with such an experience!

The entire experience was outstanding. Professional and friendly staff, hot balloon journey, Michelin’s chef breakfast and oasis set up itself. 10 out of 5 ⭐️

Stunning adventure in the desert with very nice and competent staff, thanks to the whole team, especially to the guide Nikki, Falkner Lushano and Capitain Sangram. Everything at the best level, definitely recommendable.

I enjoyed every minute of it. The whole experience was well managed by a really professional team with high quality service.

It was amazing experience !! Ballon ride in freezing temperature with one the best pilot Capt Sangram Pawar !! Life time experience to see Dubai desert and beautiful villages so closely!!

I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with the luxury hot air balloon ride and the Michelin-starred breakfast. Every detail was carefully organized, and the support from all service providers was exceptional. A special thanks to our tour leader and experienced pilot, Saggi, along with his companion, Rayen, for making the experience even more memorable. The level of professionalism, warmth, and hospitality throughout the entire process truly stood out. It’s an experience I highly recommend to anyone looking for something extraordinary.

Seamless experience from our 4am pick up to drop off. Once we arrived there was Arabic coffee and a drone show, followed by watching the balloon being inflated and a safety brief. Once everyone was in the basket we took off and reached a height of 4000ft. The falcon display was spectacular - Polaris even posed for photos on the edge of the basket! After landing we could have our photo taken with her and then off to our breakfast location. Breakfast was good and the camp was beautiful. Topped everything off with a brief camel ride. Highly recommend.
