I was a little unsure because it's along way up to take a little boy (!), and I suffer from vertigo from time to time. However, when we met Jordi and Julio I felt very much better about it - they are both incredible warm and welcoming and clearly real experts in ballooning. Jordi has spent the last 20 years ballooning and has clocked up more than 2,500 flights. We started at 6:30pm trying for a sunset flight and drove to a launch location about 10 mins away; throughout the trip he explained they were observing the trees to see what kind of wind there was and where it was blowing. They tested this agin in more depth with small helium balloons at the side and decided we should try elsewhere as the South westerly might make a bumpy launch and take us too close to the Med. The second location was not much better and after some testing Jordi recommended we try again early in the morning. I couldn't have been happier with their meticulous evaluation of the situation and communication of what they were looking out for and why as we drove. The next morning we started at about 7:30, this time right next to our lovely hotel. It was really impressive to see the beautifully made balloon lying flat and large on the ground with the basket and fire blowers set up. He used a large ventilator to open the balloon before firing the heat through it and we climbed in the basket and rose very quickly. It was an easy, comfortable start - no bumps, no gusts of wind - and it continued that way until the end. We floated calmly and serenely over the most beautiful countryside, farms and houses as the morning sun broke through the mist. It was genuinely magical and Jordi was all the time checking the direction, the air travel and in communication with Julio on the ground, while at the same time somehow being able to show us around his beautiful island and provide us with champagne, strawberries and a little light breakfast, and warmly joke with our little boy. No hint of vertigo appeared at any time. I cannot recommend Illes Balears more highly, nor Jordi and his colleague Julio. They were uplifting in every way. Thank you both for such a wonderful experience. read less

The view was amazing the host was extremely friendly and accommodating spoke all languages and reassured everyone about safety and procedures.
Once at our ultimate height we all enjoyed a glass of Champagne.
Before we even got home from our weeks holiday the complimentary DVD with videos and pics was on our door step as we walked in..
Thank you so much i hope everyone else has as much fun as we did.

Den ich bei Illes Balears Ballooning buchte, es klappte alles wunderbar.
Jordi, der Inhaber, machte uns diesen Flug auch außerhalb der Saison möglich.
Das einzigste was ich zu bemängeln hatte, war die recht knappe Fahrzeit von 45 min.
Dafür dann nur die 4 Sterne..
Mein Fazit:
Jederzeit gerne wieder, ein Erlebnis was in Erinnerung bleibt. read less

This was a very special experience and one worth sharing. I have ballooned before in Capadoccia - which was in itself very special. However, on this expedition we were also made to feel very special. We started our journey in a car park near Vila Franca, a few kilometers from Manacor and were asked to get involved right from the start.
We traveled as a family of 5 together with a young couple who were very happy to take us for what we were (3 young children who were just so excited by this incredible experience).
The pilot served champagne to the adults and juice to the children and made the whole journey one never to forget. My 5 year old kept saying "this is amazing" and the experience is something that will stay with her for a very long time.
Definitely recommend these guys. They go the extra yard and, although not the cheapest thing you could find to do on Majorca - that's kind of the point. Money well spent!!! read less

A great activity for teenagers and grown ups alike. Fantastic Captain with 25 years of experience, very good in Spanish, German and English. Efficient ground staff. Produced great photos and Videos included in the price and also a certificate. Free champagne/cava at 500 m tasted better than ever. The basket took five passengers. The trip 60-90 minutes and all together we spent three hours from 18-21. We met at the Bonanza Restaurant and decided to have a very nice dinner there on our own afterwards. A modern and good outdoor restaurant. Nothing fancy. You need to climb in and out of the basket, and there is standing room only - so not so easy if you aren't a bit mobile. read less

Ze kwamen ons halen aan het Hotel om 05.00U om naar de start plaats te gaan daar mochten we meehelpen om de ballon start klaar te maken we zaten met 12 personen in een grote mand. En hebben bij het klaar maken van de ballon erg veel plezier gehad. Een Half uur voor de afgesproken prijs op het terrein waar de ballon de lucht in ging konden we nog bij boeken voor nog een half uur dat hebben we dus wel gedaan want een half uur ins zo om hadden we ons bedacht .het was een geweldige ervaring. read less

Everything went well with the booking and it was very well organized. If I can just advise future travelers, make dure you know how many people will be with you, I wanted to have a private flight for my husband’s birthday but I made a mistake in the reservation and had to share with 6 other people and I thought it was a bit crowded. Choose to be with 4 pleople max or pay a bit extra for the private one, so you get a better view. read less

They gave me and my girlfriend a super experience and sunset baloon ride (same can definitely not be said for their competition which had horrible reviews). The rates are super fare and a real bargain. They really care you have a great time and spend a lot of time showing and explaining some of the places as we pass over (and the champagne was a nice touch). Thanks again guys as it was a fantastic experience because your care of us as a client.
Cheers,
