I was so happy with my birthday celebration at Skyball! 🥰 Spending this special day up in the sky with my friends was such a unique and unforgettable experience. A special thank you to the wonderful staff for their warm hospitality and great organization. We had an amazing time and made so many happy memories. Thank you, Skyball, for such a memorable experience! 🤍✨
Flying with Skyball was a magical experience that everyone should try at least once. The emotions are simply indescribable. Our flight took place over Garni, where we enjoyed breathtaking views. We even sipped champagne during the flight. After landing, it was fascinating to hear the story of the very first hot air balloon flight and take part in a special ceremony that made me a “countess”🤭💛
I went there with my friends, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. It’s a memory I’ll never forget. Standing up there, I felt like I could breathe in the mountains and the whole country. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and for a moment, everything else disappeared. Every second, every effort, and every step it took to get there was completely worth it. If you have the chance, don’t hesitate. It’s more than just an activity—it’s a feeling that stays with you long after it’s over.
Amazing experience! If you’re not afraid of heights this is a must do! Very professional and genuinely friendly crew, very competent pilot (we had Manuk), and incredibly beautiful, peaceful experience. Breathtaking views!!! Definitely recommend!
It is not like you imagine - a flight with a balloon. After trying different activities, we can say that the balloon ride was truly pleasant. It was really well organized, with pickup, a sparkling glass and some fruit snacks at the end. We really loved it and recommend it, mentioning also that Manuknis a great professional. :)
