Booked the balloon flight after watching Justin and team on recent UK Channel 4 programme when he took up Alexander from Pointless show! The whole experience from hotel pick up to final landing and champagne cheers at end was fantastic! The opportunity to experience the trip with Justin was one of the highlights of our trip- the sunrise and serenity was sublime and memory will stay with us forever! Justin was great in navigating a route which exposed us to views of village life, the topography and flaura and fauna, bird and wild life! It literally blew us away- felt safe throughout the trip and such good value for money! Personable pleasurable and a privilege to spend the time with Justin doing what he loves best! Don’t miss this opportunity if you can take it!
Justin pilots the ballon masterfully and with the help of a large and fantastic ground crew this experience is wonderful. It's a fabulous way to see Sri Lanka and appreciate the beautiful area around Sigiriya. I would recommend this to anyone. From the atmosphere watching the balloon inflate in the pre drawn, to a champagne toast after landing! Just fantastic
