Reviews for Hot Air Ballooning in Goa
-
It was a beautiful experience. Very professionally organised.
Sujata Gupta -
Hot air ballooning is a rage in Goa! If you want to do something that is less crowded and will actually be fun in Goa, there are two things-scuba diving and hot air ballooning. But hot air ballooning is even better because you don't need to be trained separately for the experience and it is way more affordable and the take off site is in the city! If you are in Goa, do take the chance to do this adventure activity. You will surely love it!
Dhiraj Burman -
Hot air ballooning is pretty cool and a quick activity to have fun doing. Some people have doubts whether they are fit enough to do it, because you need to be of a certain weight to do it. Do ask them before you book. Other than that, there are no restrictions. Amazing experience to be had. Have fun!
