WOW!! Words truly can not express the experience! Beautiful scenery shown by Beautiful people. Tonya, Andre and John were all so interesting and friendly. As soon as we pulled up Tonya was there to greet us; Happy and smiling! She takes the most beautiful pictures, you could see she truly enjoys what she does! My daughter found a new bestie in Tonya! Andre is such a STRONG hard working and Smart young man . My daughter loved helping Andre and John deflate the balloon (pack up). They were so kind to her, My heart smiled! John had nothing but excellent things to say of Andre ! And we experienced why! Now John ballonist,this guy made my face hurt! Laugh after laugh with soo much knowledge. The man flies as if he has wings . Or as if mother nature was whispering in his ear !He told exactly what and where he wanted to the balloon to do.. and holy poop!! He did it! This man is awesome. My family and I felt as if we were reunited with old friends! We miss them already! My little one is still screaming BEST DAY EVERRRRR!! Thank you all for a truly Magical memorable morning! Id drive down any day of the week to hear John and Andres BS ! No not BS like BS! Spend a morning with these beautiful people and find out! Blessing and be well ! Ballonist prayers! Cheers!

Wanted to celebrate my husbands birthday. Make a surprise. When I called I was told that in the air it pozdravte will make a surprise. Well drink champagne. But he was not congratulated in any way. I was very disillusioned. I bought a cake and candles. they lost the candles and just put the cake on the table in the carob. And no congratulations. When we were brought to the field, we waited an hour for them to inflate the balloon. They could have Packed everything up and taken us so that we wouldnt have to wait in this heat . The nightmare didnt end there. It was very crowded. We couldnt move. They make such a lot of money and such a terrible service. They put everyone in a very tight Department. When preselis also an hour in the dark waiting until they collected vsoy ball. They could have taken us there later. It was awful. I didnt apologize to my husband. My husbands birthday was ruined

Second time flying on a balloon with this company ! Flew 15 August after buying a discounted gift certificate due to COVID. First time in January 2018 was magical since it was winter time and the chill gave a different scenery as well as weather. We were able to see the pacific over the mountains to the west and enjoyed some time at a local petting zoo with a camel. The pilot was very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist having us all laughing and teaching us of the history of ballooning. We did land in a funky spot but the pilot was confident in his skill and while it was new to the passengers, he knew what he was doing. The mimosas were nice too ! This past second time was a bit different. While still fun, it was HOT. This isn’t to the fault of the company but man it was warm and the heat from the fire was making it even hotter. We from SoCal are alright with it, but others from different areas may feel differently about it in the summer. One passenger began to feel sick but the pilot was more than willing to check in on her and offer water. It was a much slower flight than my first and in a different direction but my wife Still loved the experience as it was her first. The pilot was nice enough but he seemed very concentrated in his craft, and I’d prefer someone who is focused on safety vs someone who is a talkative and distracted so I didn’t mind it too much. But I think a lot of people became more concerned when we were landing outside of the nominal location between two horse ranches on a dirt road justMissing power lines and trees. Again, take it with a grain of salt. Pilots can’t control every aspect of a flight but he did his best to ensure our safety. His crew on the ground level seemed to new guys so I would probably have liked that if there needed to be two on the ground, that at least one of them had experience as it seemed the pilot struggled to communicate and direct them to do what he needed. Either way, I still give this company five stars as as far as providing a great experience, they do just fine! Thanks !

Really liked how Phil mixed up the flight with a little contour flying as well. It was awesome to float up thousands of feet up in the air and then come back down to glide alongside the hillsides as well. Super fun experience made perfect by the all the beautiful photos Tonya uploads to FB and IG free to access!

Such an awesome experience!! Our pilot was Denni and he was excellent! Thank you so much for such a smooth flight!

Hello, I would like to recommend never to go here, firstly we went on a very inconvenient transport, then we were brought to the field, where we waited for 2 hours and sat on a muddy field, then we were put in a ball where there were a lot of people and it was very crowded and not convenient. also my dad had a birthday and we gave them a cake and candles, and asked to be congratulated. but as soon as we landed, they gave us a cake and they said, congratulate yourself, and also said that they lost our candles. after we landed, we waited another 1.5 hours until we were taken home. in general, a very bad service and for $ 660 we got negligent treatment from the workers. I do not advise anyone to come here.

It was a wonderful experience flying over the wine country in the hot air balloon. The early morning ride was beautiful and peaceful. The staff were all very friendly, too.

Super fun hot air balloon ride! Our host Denny was great in the sky and had lots of cool stories to share.

I had an amazing experience with this company. The staff was very kind and helpful during the whole process. I enjoyed the hot air balloon ride, and I look forward to trying it again in the future. If you’re looking into booking this company, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful experience for the balloon ride. It is a memorable birthday adventure for me.

I called several places and read many reviews before I decided to book our trip with Magical Adventures. It was the best decision we made because not only did they meet our expectations but they exceeded tenfold. Denny, Philip and the rest of the crew were the nicest, kindest, funniest and super professional. We had an amazing time they certainly know how to entertain and accommodate your needs. We loved everything about the ride it truly was an adventure. Thank you Denny, Philip and everyone who made this a special ride. We recommend them highly.

Amazing views. Great pilot! The location of meeting and the method of transportation could be a little better but it was still lots fun.The meeting starts with donuts and OJ, so that’s always a plus!Remember to do your research and know how many people fit in the hot air balloon, because we were crammed in with other strangers and it can get a bit awkward or very interesting. Either way it’s a great ice breaker for dates, but also a wonderful experience to be in the clouds with someone special. I went with my girlfriends, and we all had spectacular views, but it can be a little tricky to see a 360 views.Back at the meetings spot, they have mimosas and some snacks waiting for us, along with a certificate of being an Aeronaut, it was so fun receiving it and being part of their community! They included a voucher to spend at Bomb Shelter Cafe, to grab a bite to eat before people hit the road.Overall, it was a great experience, but there can be some improvements here and there.

The day before I was originally going to go up, my mom had a terrible car accident and I had to cancel at the very last minute. It wasnt 48 hours in advance (like the website warned) but I still was able to reschedule with out having to pay the full price again! My dad and I had a great time. Its so peaceful up there. You can even see the ocean far off. And the petting zoo and chocolate shop were great too. Id never seen a camel before, it was very cute.

I enjoyed the ride very much.

First time in a hot air Balloon today and it was AMAZING. Phil was our pilot and he was awesome, really appreciate everyone else that helped. Thank you will come back soon.

We decided last minute to call them up for the sunrise adventure. The staff ( Pete, Phil, Brian and the sweet lady that takes pictures) was absolutely amazing. They all went above and beyond. I highly recommend booking your hot air balloon experience with them! Couldnt be happier. Thank you magical adventures!!!

Staff was amazing and super accommodating with last minute requests. The crew answered all questions and took so many pictures to capture the perfect moment! Thank you for a fantastic morning!

We did this on a Sunday (8/11/2019) It was a spur of the moment thing we planned for our cousin’s birthday. We were paired in a big group of about 18 in the biggest hot air balloon the Red Pirate one and our pilot was named Phil. It was all very exciting, awesome and the staff were all very nice & very professional in orientation and explaining all of the thing we needed to know to new safe & have a great experience, and we did! It was all so magical, peaceful & a little warm at times due...it is a HOT air balloon but it was all really amazing! Phil our pilot had a slew of information & nice stories and anecdotes while we all were on the ride and answered all of the people riding with us their questions all while piloting and navigating the way for us to see as much of the spectacular views around Tamecula.I would very highly recommend doing this activity again and even though there was a big number of people riding with us it didn’t feel all too crowded as there were a quartered panel section to the basket we rode in. After we landed very safely and smoothly on the ground, the other staff members were kind enough to offer us so me snacks, orange juice, champagne or mimosa while they were fixing up the ballon for our return to the parking lot where we came from. As with all their information you would need is explained in their website, make sure to layer up cause in their morning it is quite cold and when you get in the balloon it can get a bit warm but still comfortable in my case. Thank you so much to Magical Adventures for this wonderful & marvelous adventure that I hope I’ll be able to do again!

We were so glad they waited out the weather and still took us up for a morning flight. Enjoyed the celebration after. Everything that is included makes this well worth the money. Was very safe with experienced pilots and crew. A great way to experience a hot air balloon flight.

Phil was amazing. very smooth flight and landing.

I spent a lot of time researching which company to go with. I am so happy I chose Magical Adventure Balloon Rides. Everything about them is top drawer. From my first call to getting our free pictures after the flight, I knew they wanted my business.The companies launch or land near each other, so I can tell you there is a major difference in the quality of equipment and space in the basket. If you want to ride in new balloons and vehicles go with Magical. I did NOT want to be butt to butt with strangers.Denny made us feel very comfortable and safe. Our pilot was also very skilled and informative. These guys dont make enough money for the excellent service they give, so be sure to tip heavy!

I took a private tour to propose to my girlfriend in Del Mar. The office ladies Joanna and Christy, I believe, and our pilot Denni were very, very helpful. It felt very safe and yet we got close enough to see a rabbit and deer on the ground. Denni was very helpful in staying in contact with me while I was trying to surprise my now, fiancee. I recommend this company.

We highly recommend Magical Adventure Balloon Rides. The experience was nothing short of perfection. Our ride over the Temecula countryside was simply breathtaking. The staff was friendly, courteous and well-qualified. We felt safe the entire time. It was our daughters birthday, and this was a great way to celebrate with her and her husband. We might have to go again sometime.

John was our pilot. Loved it. Loved it, loved it

I recently went on a hot air balloon ride with this company and was unsatisfied with my trip and posted a yelp review. After this the company manager not only didnt apologize, he actually went as far as disparaging me on their facebook page (really, how old are you?)Basically they place a filming crew on our balloon, making a very tight space even tighter. I was a bit annoyed by the incessant questions the film crew asked which I also felt distracted the pilot and took away from my experience. I wanted to enjoy the view in peace, and hear what the pilot has to say to us, not constantly being harassed by the film crew.Do you know why no one on our balloon tipped the pilot even though your company repeatedly emphasized that it should be $30/per person tip? its because the experience was not good! this speaks for that, go ahead, ask your pilot to confirm it. This is the first time ever in my life that I didnt leave a tip for a tourism service. As far as Im concerned, your company owes him a lot of money for tips and all the passengers on our balloon an apology!Disparaging your customer is no way to run a good business! I would be careful booking with this company because you will be treated very badly if you have any concerns.

Amazing sunset Balloon ride celebrating our wedding anniversary. I have nothing but great things to say about the crew and Phil, the pilot. Everyone was very nice and professional. It was unforgetable experience!

Magical Adventures Balloon ride was a great addition to the weekend. It was an early start, but well worth seeing the sunrise over the Temecula Mountains. The Pilot was extremely skilled, and knew what he was doing with the wind directions, speed and altitude. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience a hot air balloon ride. Note: dont forget to wear a hat, as the burners filling the hot air balloon get alittle hot and can keep the tops of your heads alittle warm from the heat.

My husband and I flew with Dennys yesterday on our first hot air balloon ride. We had the time of our life. This company courteous, knowledgeable, and safety driven. I high recommend this company.

Super fun and friendly staff. Wonderful experience

I had a blast the last time we went. It is almost time for another trip!

Great experience, pilot and memory.

I took my sweetie on the sunset tour in San Diego for her birthday. It was a perfect experience! The company communicated with me multiple times before the trip so I knew where to go, when, and what to expect. Watching the balloons be set up, including inflating the massive 300,000 cubic foot balloon and heating it up was spectacular! The flight itself was magical, drifting without vibration or noise above the beautiful homes and landscape of rancho santa fe, the ocean and mountains on the horizon, able to see from Mexico in the south to San Jacinto (near Palm Springs) in the north. The pilot OBVIOUSLY knew what he was doing, even as he grazed the shrubs with the basket as we flew over an unoccupied flat bit of land. The stories were fun as we sipped Champagne and waited for the crew to pack up the balloon at the end of the flight. At every point we were treated politely, professionally, and the experience was just beautiful! Our pilot was Philip Branch (Hi Phil!), he was great.
