Temecula Sunrise Balloon Ride

Incredible! Would definitely go on another hot air balloon experience with California Dreamin’. My husband and I went up with the owner who is very knowledgeable and experienced. It was our first hot air balloon ride, we felt comfortable and enjoyed the ride. We suggest bringing a light jacket and prepare to climb into a basket.

Dillon was a great pilot and was very knowledgeable about the surroundings! Would definitely recommend!

Top marks for every part. My wife and I were thrilled throughout. We were very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of our pilot and his entire team.

It was very nice and excited experience for my husband and myself, stuff was very cordial and professional explained very detail about the ride and safety precautions before start flying. We are highly recommended to try this experience.

well run outfit, very professional. Very worth the trip, just great!!

It was a beautiful journey. Even people with fear of heights were not afraid.

The ride was so amazing!! The pilot was so knowledgeable and the crew was so friendly and hardworking! We Loved the whole thing

We had a wonderful time, the staff were amazing..

Experience was excellent - the expertise of our pilot (Dillon) was superb as he gave such a good narration of the surrounding area and story of Temecula/Balloon history. We felt fully safe and in good hands! Highly recommend; we will be back again. Thank you!

Our balloon ride over Temecula Wine Country was amazing. The pilot was experienced and knowledgable about the area. The ride was smooth and once in the air it was quite warm. I recommend anyone to do it. The heights weren't as scary as on might think. The basket is quite rigid and has handles if a person wanted to feel more safe and secure. California Dreamin' was the company that hosted our ride and credit to Dillon for being an amazing pilot and host. And cheers to his hard working team for keeping us safe and providing transportation and photos. Cheers.

My partner and I had an amazing experience with California Dreaming hot air balloon experience in Temecula. Our Pilot was extremely professional and we felt very safe the entire flight. Highly recommend!

Great experience. The flight was conducted on time, and safely. At first I was disappointed because it was cloudy, but little did I know cloudy days can be some of the most beautiful ballooning days because the view above the clouds is extraordinary.

The hot air abllong ride with California Dreamin was just that. Dreamy, wonderful and an overall great experience. The ground crew, the pilot Dylan and all involved were just perfect. We enjoyed the ride, the short history of ballon riding, shared at the landing site as well as the mimosas that came along with the story. Highly recommend, would do it again.

What an incredible experience! Everyone at California Dreamin' was wonderful and very friendly, from the reservation coordinator to our pilot. The ride on the balloon was comfortable, informative, and incredibly beautiful. I'd do it again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend it for anyone looking to experience Temecula from the sky!

great

I had a great time, this has been on my bucket list for over 40 years. Everyone was friendly and fun. If it didn't start so early I would do it again. This is the earliest I've gotten up since I retired but it still made for a great 72nd birthday. Thanks Gary T.

The pilot was great. He’s knowledge of the area was fantastic

Really beautiful ride! The pilot was very informative and friendly. The whole experience lasted about 3 hours long with a 1 hour long flight. It was a gentle ride in the wine country. The crew was very pleasant and friendly.

Loved our Ballon Ride with California Adventure.

The experience was absolutely breathtaking and amazing! I did a shared flight with several others, but I was still able to propose to my girlfriend and they made everything such a special experience! The company even gave us a bottle of wine for the proposal! It was an absolutely unforgettable experience and I will definitely be back for another ride!!!

Great way to start the year, my wife and I we’re blown away by the level of professionalism from Sunrise Balloon Ride. I would definitely recommend them at no point that we ever felt that we weren’t safe.

Best experience! Gorgeous sunrise, super safe!

Very well organized and pilot was informative and skilled in operations. We really enjoyed the adventure.

We had a great flight. David and the team were awesome. Very professional and service oriented. Felt safe and the landing was soft as a pillow. Wouldn't fly with any other company.

Experience was great. Company was professional and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend.

Staff was welcoming and informative every step of the way. From seeing the balloon be prepared for take off, to the adventurous flight, it was an experience of a lifetime and I recommend it to everyone considering. Our pilot Toby was an amazing guide, and my husband and I couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you for the ride!

We had a fantastic time! Our pilot Ed was very experienced and explained how the process worked as we were traveling. We received assistance in and out of the basket by Ed and other passengers. At the end of our trip he gave us the details of our flight. How long, how fast, how high and etc. We would definitely go again.

It was amazing! The crew was very professional. Dillon was our pilot and he was reaaly good. Great experience all around!

Great activity. Staff was very professional, on time, and provided a fun safe atmosphere for all.

Much better than expected. What a lovely morning.

Had a great time! The staff is extremely friendly and attentive!

Very happy with the experience. Very professional pilot, very friendly hospitality and well organized all round.

The overall experience was great. They even served us breakfast and mimosas upon our return. Since it was our anniversary, they put us in a hot air balloon basket that said happy anniversary and gave us a bottle of wine as a gift. The flight was amazing and there was plenty of room in the basket. The pilot was very knowledgable about the area as well. The area where we ate breakfast after was beautiful and surrounded by vineyards. I would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone!

My pilot was exceptional. Absolutely the best. Everything was wonderful. I am just in awe of the beauty of the experience.

Loved it! I am terrified of heights but the view was worth it. Our pilot made sure we got a great view of the valley and made sure everyone was safe. The staff was friendly and really great.

Simply amazing!

We loved every minute of our flight. I have already recommended this company to numerous friends. I am looking forward to returning for another.

The Pilot and crew are excellent. Loved the ride. I use a cane so getting in and out of basket was an ordeal. I’d like to suggest investing into a foldable A frame Double sided ladder. I believe it would work much better. Again it was a great experience overall.

First, Dylan was great as our pilot and guide. He was as chill as the ride itself. The entire staff were friendly and attentive. The marine layer was thick and creeping in, so we seemed to not float far (in distance, not height) from where we launched. We always seemed to be in very close proximity to the other balloon on the ground waiting to lift off. It may have been due to the weather or possibly to perspective - seven miles at 2000 feet in the air may not feel as far away as it is on the ground. But our our expectation had been set for something a little more than what we experienced due to the language on the website that specifically stated for this excursion: "float over rolling hills, lush vineyards, and inspect the angular lines of red tile roofs. You might even skim through the top branches of a citrus tree – all in the course of an hour..." Better to book when in the area and NOT drive from two hours away to get there for the morning check-in. Again, though, it was a pleasant morning with very nice people.

It was once in a lifetime! The weather was great, the pilot knowledgeable. Only issues was how early we had to arrive, and no stepstool to help us into the baskets.

The balloon ride was great! Very professional and safe. Amazing experience, only issue was we paid for and wanted to go over the wineries but had to go over Hemet because of wind

I thought I booked a private balloon ride. Received my email confirmation stating others 4 person minimum. I called to double check to see if I booked a private ride. I was told yes and they did not know why the email said a minimum of 4. Weeks had passed and finally day arrived and my expectations were popped when I learned I would be sharing my private anniversary ride with others. I called the number spoke to Jen who said she would talk to the owner. Jen never called back. I would have liked a private photo of my husband and I on the balloon but the staff did not allow it, instead they took a very awkward picture that did not even include the balloon in order not to get the people in the shot. I was very disappointed in how this was all handled. If they recorded the conversation they would have seen I was told I was getting a private ride. They had weeks to correct the situation and I could have then bought the correct tickets.
