Why choose a private balloon?

At €3,600 for up to 16 guests, the private balloon becomes a strong option for groups, families or a once-in-a-lifetime moment such as a proposal. You have your own pilot and basket, and breakfast is served high above the plain. More on the Private Balloon page.

What affects the price of a balloon ride?

When you compare offers in Marrakech, look beyond the headline number: is hotel pickup included, is breakfast included, how long is the flight, and what happens if the weather cancels the flight? A clear weather policy matters — with us, a weather cancellation is always rescheduled or refunded within 3 days.

Is it worth it?

For most travellers it becomes the most memorable morning of their trip: a quiet, slow sunrise with the High Atlas on the horizon, followed by breakfast and a return to the hotel before mid-morning, with the whole day still ahead.
