An absolutely incredible experience, I think everyone should do. While getting up so early was not fun, it was definitely worth it for the experience of seeing the sunrise from a hot air balloon and the views were breathtaking. Our pilot, Pato, was awesome and also took some photos of us on the flight. Even the breakfast was great, which I wasn't really expecting. They had a great spread of delicious food and even had vegan and gluten free options! This is a must do experience
Guide was awesome great info and had heaps of energy
