Hot Air Balloon Tour at Wahiba Sands

The balloon ride was very pleasant. We were driven over the desert, after which there was a very warm welcome with the ground crew as well as hot and cold drinks. We watched the balloon being set up after which we were taken over desert dunes for over 45 minutes. Our pilot Denis was very friendly, professional and answered our endless questions on how the balloon is operated. I would recommend the experience.

From the moment we booked, the experience was seamless, everything was clearly explained, all the necessary information was provided, and the communication reflected genuine kindness and professionalism. The planning was excellent, and from arrival, every detail felt thoughtfully handled, from the setup of the pre-flight coffee station to ending the trip with champagne and a medal. Denis was an exceptional pilot, professional, skilled and ensured a smooth, comfortable ride from start to finish. The entire hot air balloon experience felt safe and truly memorable because of his expertise. Ibrahim also stood out with his warm and friendly attitude. He was welcoming and attentive, even opening the vehicle door for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was an amazing experience with a fantastic and professional team. Highly recommended!

Amazing flight with Denis ! He was so nice and the landscape was amazing !!

It was a great experience to sail above the desert. It was a beautiful view and very relaxed. The balloonist was very experienced and very friendly.

The most beautiful trip with the best team, highly experienced and professional young men from Tanzania. The pilot, Dennis, was very skilled and flew the balloon with complete calmness, making the feeling of safety and enjoying the magnificent scenery indescribable.

This was such an incredible experience. The team were punctual, efficient and so much fun. We started the morning with coffee, then watched a beautiful sunrise over the dunes and spent an hour in the sky looking at the vast desert. I’ve done hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia and Egypt but this was sooooo much better. A once in a lifetime experience! Big shout out to the fantastic pilot Dennis and the driver Ibrahim!

Our hot air balloon flight was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff of six made us feel welcome and well-cared for. Every team member was brilliant, professional, and clearly passionate about ensuring a seamless experience for their guests. ​The flight itself was incredibly peaceful. Floating silently above the scenery provided a perspective you simply cannot get any other way. It was an exceptionally personal experience, as it was just my daughter and I in the basket, which made the morning feel very exclusive. ​The pilot was highly skilled and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt safe while pointing out interesting landmarks below. Touching down was gentle, and the entire outing was handled with such care from start to finish. This was a true highlight and a memory that will stay with us for a very long time. ​I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for top-tier service and an unforgettable adventure.

Floating in the hot air balloon was an unforgettable experience that I will treasure forever. A massive thank you to Mr. Denis and the entire team for making it so special.Thank you all for the wonderful hospitality and for creating such a beautiful memory for us." These are truly wonderful memories in the making!" Thank you once again.

It was a wonderful experience and Dennis, our captain guided us well. The tour was exciting and had great experience. The entire team was supportive and gentle.

We had booked a promotional balloon tour for the sunrise at Wahiba Sands in the Oman. That included an early morning pick-up at our desert camp with almost an hour transfer to and from the starting place of the balloon. There we got a nice snack for breakfast and attended the preparations for the flight, when the balloon was filled with air and the gondola got attached. Shortly before sunrise we took off to a phantastic magical ride over the desert and dunes of Wahiba Sands. Mateo, our Mexican "pilot", did not only do a great job in getting us up to even 850 meters but also was a nice guide who told us a lot about balloon riding in general, about navigation and even about land and people of the Oman desert. With him we felt absolutely safe during the entire flight and at an excellent, soft landing after more than one hour. Then we got our balloon flight certificates before we started the transfer back to our camp. As a nice surprise our Omani driver gave us a private "dune bashing" ride which rounded up our wonderful event with Royal Balloon Tours. All in all its been a wonderful "once in a lifetime" experience which we can highly recommend.
