We did the Ballon ride in 1999 (adults 2 children) it was excellent we all really enjoyed it, it was very hands on (you help put the balloon up and pack it away) When we went 2 ballons went up together so we got so wicked pics of the other ballon. The high light for us all was "tree hopping" my husband actually picked a pine cone from a tree as we went over, the pilot was very knowledgable about every thing we saw and very entertaining. The only down side was the very early start 5am
and the fact that we had one false start because the weather wasnt suitable (but we did go in Feb) We were back at the hotel by 12ish and wouldnt have missed it for the world, it was definately one of the high lights of the holiday.
