Scenery, silence and serenity.

Beautiful balloon ride over the many lakes surrounding the castle near Trakia. Incredible scenery on a gorgeous day. Be prepared for a very rough landing!

An absolute MUST when in Vilnius

Had an incredible experience on the sunset hot air balloon ride, an absolute must when visiting Vilnius! The crew were punctual when picking us up from our accommodation, very clear in every step of the process and the pilot was amazing at giving us information when in the air! We did the Trakai ride and the views were INCREDIBLE. Such a great experience and the sharing a drink with the pilot afterwards was a nice touch. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to book on.

Delight flight

This was the best single event me and my girlfriend went to in Lithuania, in our short holiday. The crew of the balloon company where informative, professional and knew their stuff. Everyone from the driver to the pilot knew what was important and kept everything plain and simple. All of the other balloon goers were Lithuanian, but I didn't feel excluded as a tourist. The pilot was so good at his job, if he also flye aircrafts, I would hire him to fly all thing that I will be on which is airborne. The sights and experience were beautiful, and fun as a person who has never been flying in a balloon before. If there is one thing you need to do in Lituhania, it is to fly in a balloon with this crew!

Cars but basement food worth visiting cities

Three small Baltic countries - Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania The new district of Vilnius has modern grocery malls and churches in the old district. The city frequently carries, there is no tram main road or rely on call cars to move. Particularly in the Old Town area are the Black Lady of Dawn Gate Church, the city council square and Pierris Street that recharge the artistic atmosphere of very special basement classic dishes. Sometimes the area can also go to the opposite Republic to walk, we also take the car to another city of Tracy Island. Tracey Castle is the only water castle in Eastern Europe, the sun is very large but the bridge is frozen under 6 degrees of weather.

Best way to spend a sunny afternoon in Vilnius

First time ever - being somewhat afraid of heights, for a laugh dared my wife to go up for a trip. What a great time she (we) had. While the weather was a little cloudy and misty, this did not detract from an exciting view(s) over Trakai lakes and castle and the 20k + "drift" over Lithuania. Team & crew were fantastic setting up. Congrats to the pilot for the safe - but somewhat bumpy landing :¬)). Made the experience for me all the more fun. :¬)) I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to have an unusual, and lifetime, holiday memory, Champagne at the end - just to round it off. Thanks again guys.

Take flight!

A really fantastic experience with a smooth flight and outstanding views. Strongly recommend! Start and landing fields had lots (LOTS!) of mosquitoes. Apparently, that’s common in late August to September. Consider bringing bug spray.
