The crowning finale of our Morocco trip!
Absolutely recommended!
The day of the balloon ride was also our departure day. The day before, we communicated with the staff via WhatsApp that we were departing from Marrakesh at 12:00 PM, and they assured us that we would be back in the city by 9:00 AM at the latest.
The pickup (4:20 AM, really early, but necessary to see the sunrise) and return trip (~8:00 AM) were punctual. Everything seemed very organized and professional. At the airfield, we were greeted with coffee/tea and cookies. We were able to wake up a bit before it started.
The flight was very relaxed; I thought it would be shaky like in an airplane, but we took off very gently and you didn't notice anything, and we felt very safe at all times. The view was simply beautiful; the feeling of floating in the air is indescribable. The pictures cannot describe everything but speak for themselves.
The landing was also very pleasant. At the end there was breakfast and you could process the feelings again before heading back.
The pilot Tom was very nice and answered all his guests' questions. On site there is also a video team that offers its service (recording the most beautiful moments with a drone).
I would do it again anytime.
NB: There is no noticeable temperature difference up there, so you do not need to lug a sweater along if the temperature on the ground is warm enough.

Excellent Balloon flight
Had a great Sunrise flight with Happy Ballooning and our pilot, Elsen was excellent. Smooth takeoff and landing with clear explanations of the landing position.
Would highly recommend a balloon flight with Happy Ballooning.

Fabulous Balloon Trip
Fabulous excursion. Was picked up early from the hotel. Arrived and could have tea, coffee etc.
Was taken to the balloon and watched it inflate then climbed into the basket. We were up for around 50 mins. Majority of other companies were only up for 30 mins.
We had amazing views.
On landing we then had berber breakfast and the pilot of the balloon came over and talked to us unbeknown to us that he was partner in the company. Plus was interesting telling us all the history of the company etc.
We paid the extra 50 euros for photos and videos.
Would highly recommend commend this company as not rushed at all.
Thank you for the wonderful experience

Wow wow wow sunrise from a hot air balloon
Wow what an amazing start to your day watching the sun rise over the Atlas Mountains from a hot air balloon.
Our pilot Tom was very experienced and made everyone feel safe from start to finish. The take off and landing were faultless.
The communication was excellent prior and we were picked up from our hotel on time.
We were greeted with a hot drink and biscuit prior to taking flight and had a lovely breakfast in the desert afterwards. No unnecessary waiting around, everything timed to perfection. I would 100% recommend booking with this company thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The start was postponed repeatedly due to the wind conditions. That is of course fine, but there was no information about anything. In the basket, being with 20 people is simply overcrowded; you can't turn or move around.

Absolutely magical. The highlight of an amazing trip to Marrakech!
A magical experience. The whole trip felt very organised and professional. I’m not great with heights and yet I didn’t feel at all afraid on this. It was a smooth and gentle take off and landing. The flight itself was almost indescribably magical. Just amazingly calm and peaceful. Although there were lots on the ride we felt we had the skies to ourselves! Such a special thing to do. I 100% recommend it. DO bring warm layers! We didn’t but thankfully the company gave us some blankets. I HIGHLY recommend this company. Excellent from start to finish. WELL worth it.
