Montréal montgolfière

Let me tell you a story... I was gifted a balloon flight as a thank-you... I graciously accepted, even though I am not the biggest fan of heights! I white-knuckle the steering wheel crossing big bridges :) Flight day comes, I'm on the launch field, talking with friends (who are also pilots and know this unknown to me pilot), and I am assured that Martin is going to give me an awesome flight... GREAT, this eases my nerves! We get into the basket (I know this is the incorrect term), and I promise you, it was not a graceful event. Three women on the flight, and we crawl in. Still, it was better than trying to climb into it! We lift off and I discover that my pilot, loves heights! So much so, that we're going to go up to 5000' GREAT... this ride will be my last, I am going to die of a panic attack in the fetal position on the floor of this basket!!! Who'd have thought that we'd reach 5100' and instead of fear (there was a little, I'm not going to lie), there was peace?! The exhilaration of hitting that height, the majesty of everything you could see, and the confidence of Martin (he answered a lot of questions)! It was an exceptional flight from the graceful entrance into the basket, to the graceful exit, also crawling out of it... I would fly with Martin and Montréal Montgolfière a thousand times over! Thanks for the memories!

6 of us Ontario girls flew with Martin at the Atlantic Balloon Fiesta in Sussex, New Brunswick the morning of Friday September 9, 2022. Martin and crew were amazing, he is an awesome pilot. It was such an amazing experience. Wishing Martin great success at the World Championship this week.

Highly recommend! They were quick to get to departure site so that they can make preparations in a timely manner. But most of all, the team was in such high spirits especially the pilot which made the experience even more enjoyable. Even when we had a little bit of a unexpected landing in someone's farm, he remained calm and joyful so we all just burst out in giggles and the locals were happy to help us get out. It was really a wonderful experience and I'd recommend Montréal Montgolfière for all your hot air balloon needs!

For all those that want to experience the flight of a lifetime you have found the place. Martin is an exquisite pilot. As an aviator in training I appreciate his candor, ability and knowledge of all the factors involved. A truly inspirational individual, your flight will be something special with martin no question about it.

Had such a great time on my early morning flight with Martin! He and his crew are very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Montreal Montgolfière to anyone who wants to try a hot air balloon ride…the views are spectacular!
