EXCELLENT Based on 152 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Jan GVerified Incredible in the best way possible Incredible adventure. Due to the bad weather it wasn't sure it was happening, but the organizers checked every option to make it possible. In the end they drove us 80 minutes to a different city, so we could start from there and wouldn't miss it.They went above and beyond.The flight was unbelievable. One of the coolest things I have done so far. The pilot was super nice and gave us many intersting facts. Everything went perfectly and I can't recommend this enough. Won't be the last flight for sure.Posted on Tripadvisor alan sVerified Brilliant Experience this trip was extremely well organised, we had arranged to go on Sat evening but we were advised in plenty of time that the weather wasnt suitable, they arranged for the following evening which was fine, we were kept upto date by Whattsap with all the details, the staff were fun and friendly, and very experienced. The views were brilliant and the whole experience was great. The staff on the ground take photos which they Whattsapp to you. Finished with a traditional glass of Champagne, which was very appropriate on this trip as a very pleasant Belgian lad asked us to film him proposing to his girlfriend, fortunately she accepted.Brilliant experience.Posted on Tripadvisor Michael RVerified Balloon Ride Flawless organisation including pick-up from the hotel.Great experience with a flight team that loves what it is doing.Posted on Tripadvisor Amanda HVerified lovely private balloon tour We had a magical early morning balloon ride with Albertas. Albertas had contacted us via WhatsApp the day before to ensure that pick-up would go smoothly in the morning, which it did. We took off from the same field as another group going at the same time, which meant that we could get some lovely pictures of another balloon flying over the same area. The fog over the fields was particularly beautiful, and we had lovely clear views over the lakes around Trakai. I am actually terrified of heights (cable cars and ladders are bad for me), but once we were up in the air, the basket felt very stable, and it wasn't scary at all.Posted on Tripadvisor PsomiVerified Ballooning over Lithuania This was an incredible experience! The team was very professional and flew us safely across the Trakai Region. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor Katherine SVerified Amazing! It was amazing. Pick up was easy and well organised in advance. Transport was comfy and easy. The balloon was an amazing experience and the pilot was informative and friendly. Champagne upon landing was great good! Then Transport back was again easy, quick and comfy.Posted on Tripadvisor MerrynVerified Honest review by solo traveller Honest review from a solo traveller. Was contacted day before booking to see if I would change from afternoon flight to morning flight, this did not suit my plans. Communication was excellent regarding pick up point. Joined with 3 other passengers. Arriving at launch site was advised i would be joining another company with 10 other passengers as I was a solo passenger and sky divers would be joining this flight. Just because I am one person doesn't make me less important!I had already missed the other companies safely briefing, was given a written guide of what to expect and sign here form.Was then told to get into a basket with 10 other passengers. You could not move.They were not impressed that I Joined and I also not impressed. This was not was I had been expecting or been told about. But had little choice out in the fields of Trakai if I wanted to join a Balloon tour. The company that I Joined Oreivystes Centras and their pilot Giedrius Leskevicius where absolutely awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend them.They were more than accommodating and would not take payment for the flight, I had to pay Smile Balloon. Was dropped back to my hotel and not a pick up point. Oreivystes Centras all the way. I did have a booking for a Vilnius Balloon flight a few days after the Trakai one and when I contacted them to cancel thinking it was Oreivystes they knew all about my experience!Goes to show a good experience travels far but a bad experience travels even further... they already knew that what they did to me was not acceptable.Posted on Tripadvisor Bob OVerified Smile in the sky Smile is a very professional and easy going balloon operator, it is highly recommended. Vytas flew us over Trakai together with some skydivers who left us midway. It is a serene and beautiful experience to float high in the sky and it is worth it to book with this companyPosted on Tripadvisor Talon BVerified A must do Amazing experience. The views were great the guides were great everything was great. I was a little nervous because the weather kept pushing back the flight but they communicated great and were able to reschedule when it was safe to do so. I had a great timePosted on Tripadvisor Iain HVerified You must do this if you're in Vilnius What a wonderful experience. We got picked up at our hotel and driven to the take off location which was rural and outside Trakai. We then flew over the area and our pilot pointed out things of interest and explained about ballooning. The landing was great fun and the sparkling wine and certificates were a surprise.

While hot air balloon rides are generally considered safe, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant. They can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and advise whether a hot air balloon flight is a suitable activity during pregnancy. Your safety and comfort are the top priorities. Passengers must inform the pilot of any health problems or pregnancy.
Hot air balloons work on the principle that hot air is lighter than cold air. The balloon envelope is filled with heated air, which makes it buoyant. As the air inside the envelope heats up, it becomes less dense than the surrounding, cooler air, causing the balloon to rise. The pilot can control the ascent and descent by adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon, making hot air balloons a fascinating and simple yet effective mode of air travel
Before the flight, you’ll typically meet your pilot and crew at the launch site.
They’ll provide a safety briefing and may involve you in the inflation process, giving you a chance to see how the balloon is prepared for flight.
Hot air balloon rides are generally safe.
Professional pilots undergo rigorous training and certified, and the balloons are well-maintained. Safety measures include pre-flight safety briefings, regular equipment checks before each fly, and recertified by the Air Navigation Authority at least every 100 hours of fly or 12 month, and adherence to weather conditions for safe flying.
It’s crucial to be aware that the use of strong alcoholic drinks, drugs, and psychotropic substances is strictly prohibited throughout the pre-flight and in-flight phases of a hot air balloon ride. This policy is in place to ensure the safety of all passengers and to maintain a responsible and controlled environment during the entire balloon experience. Safety is paramount, so please adhere to these restrictions.
