James, Kristin and team were awesome. We did the sunset ride to celebrate my 60th birthday. Both are very are committed to making sure everyone is safe, explaining every step of the balloon riding event, what to expect and safety rules one must follow to ride. They have worked hard to build this business and are committed to your safety. James and Kristin provided narrative on what we were seeing, how the balloon is controlled and any questions we may have had. I would 100% recommend them!!

The operator is sketchy with a capital S. I wouldn't go up in a balloon for one second with someone I couldn't trust. No thank you based on all learned about the primary operator.

We had a group of 6 people recently try out the sunset balloon tour in Carlsbad. We had 4 adults and 2 kids (ages 8 and 14). Two of our party were not fond of heights.
Overall, everyone had a great time. We met the Sky's the Limit team at a parking lot in Carlsbad. They brought a balloon for 16 people, as there were 14 people going on the ride that afternoon.
We went to two sites to launch the balloon. The first site didn't work; however, we were able to launch from the second site. The crew actually launches test balloons and watch them ascend - they look for wind patterns, visibility ceilings, and time for ascension. At our launch site, it was actually quite interesting to watch them inflate the balloon. It took about 20 minutes to get the balloon ready to go. At which point, the passengers got into the basket. The basket has partitions (like little cells), so we had 3 to 4 people in each cell. The pilot had the center of the balloon, where he could hit the burners and control the balloon. One has to climb into the balloon (i.e., there is no gate to just walk into the basket), so anyone with issues climbing (e.g., hurt legs, etc.) should probably avoid this experience.
The balloon was incredibly smooth - there was no jostling or turbulence. Moreover, take off and landing were pretty slow so there was no "sinking" feeling like one experiences on a plane, roller coaster or elevator. Our party that wasn't fond of heights had no problems on the balloon - they spent their time looking at the horizon rather than looking down.
Our course had us fly over some of the most exclusive homes in the country. We got to see some fabulous homes from a unique vantage points. We were also able to see the ocean and the sun setting on the horizon.
We landed in an open field. While the crew took down the balloon, we had a champagne toast and found out about the history of ballooning.
Sky's the Limit really takes safety to heart, so we were never concerned about the safety of the flight. Beyond the great views of San DIego, the sunset and the ocean, we also learned a little bit about ballooning.
We highly recommend this activity if one is interested in a nice afternoon activity to try something different.

My Mom gave this to us as a Christmas Gift. Amanda was great in helping us plan our trip and answer ALL our questions. My husband, myself, Mom(age 72), and my Uncle (age 78 1/2) had never gone in a Hot Air Balloon before, and it was on my Uncle's bucket list. We had all flown on planes of all sizes and helicopters before, but this was very different. So quiet, still, and peaceful...and surprisingly warm and cozy. We are all going to do it again in the future and invite other family and friends as well. James, the pilot and the whole crew, Andrew, Thad, Mike, Sean, and Kennedy were very professional, friendly, and helpful. They make a great team!! Also James gave us info. about the balloon itself and our surroundings below which was very informative. He is a very good pilot with much experience. Thank you all and merry Christmas!!

What a fantabulous birthday adventure! This was the very first time I'd gone hot air ballooning and it was a blast. I would do it again in a heartbeat. James is an expert pilot and made us all feel very much at ease in his balloon and I was surprised that it actually held as many of us as it did. Try this given the opportunity - you will not be disappointed!

an exciting yet surprisingly calm adventure awaits you. Also very educational since you get to watch the set up and take down of balloon. The owner/pilot makes you feel totally safe. He is the epitome of someone that has many years of experience and knowledge and loves his work. The entire staff was great and very hard workers. We went to celebrate our 30th anniversary and I wouldn't have changed a thing, they made it super special and fun for us!

I purchased a glider ride for my husband as a surprise for his birthday and it was the best thing ever! The staff was very professional and he absolutely loved it. Now I can't wait to go back and try it along with the balloon ride.

We had a great time on this trip. The weather was gorgeous and the experience was priceless. Everything went without a hitch other than the normal delays finding the best takeoff location. The pilot and the rest of the support crew were all great. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend this company. Some other balloons cancelled, but we went ahead and it was great. Pays to have an experienced pilot.

Hello,
The balloon and wine tour would be the Solvang-Santa Barbara wine country flight. The nearest hotels are Fess Parker Inn and Spa in Los Olivos, the Corque hotel in Solvang and Marriot hotel in Buellton. You can also google hotels in Solvang which are 10 minutes away from our office in Los Olivos.
Thank you!

Does your company balloon over the flower fields in Carlsbad and if so what month is best to see this? Did this many years ago and thought I flew with your company.
