Our experience was AMAZING!! Damian and his crew are fantastic. So knowledgeable and funny - would do this again in a heartbeat! My whole family loved it, will be recommending Black Hills Balloons to others.

Damian was our pilot and was personable and experienced. We took off in 35 degrees cold but were soon warmed as we flew. The scenery was spectacular and we flew with another balloon. It was a smooth landing and we feasted on champagne and cheese. A balloonist’s tradition. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

The team was very experienced and safety minded. They were knowledgable of the area and very confident and courteous. The end of the trip was made even more memorable by the pilots telling their knowledge of history, champagne and crackers. Bravo!

Flying with Black Hills Balloons was a bucket list trip and it was wondrous! Safety and enjoyment are the top priorities of Damien and his professional staff. You will feel confident about flying and landing. You get to see the balloon(s) being filled and taken down again. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Damien walk into the balloon as it filled to check it for safety. Passengers were placed very thoughtfully; a couple celebrating their anniversary had a compartment to themselves. Everyone was at ease, laughing at Damien's dry wit, and in awe of the sights and their feelings. The mimosas and refreshments after landing came with a short presentation of the history of balloon flight. You get a certificate, and the printed blessing was especially meaningful to me as a retired chaplain. Go float across the South Dakota skies with Black Hills Balloons!

This has been on my husband’s and my bucket list since the Hot Air Balloon Rallies long ago in Tyndall, SD!! It was ABSOLUTELY the greatest adventure with a fantastic crew! The free ‘entertainment package’ made it even more enjoyable!! What a beautiful, peaceful way to enjoy the great outdoors of South Dakota! Randy/Gaile Sachtjen Burke, SD

My experience with Black Hills Balloon flights was absolutely tremendous! The pilot, Damien, with his many years of flying along with his genuine humor made the experience all the better. My daughter and my two granddaughters also loved it. I am 76 and my youngest granddaughter is 17 so I could highly recommend it for all age groups.

When I called to book a flight they told me they were all full. After I hung up I said to my husband I should have left my name and number in case they had a cancellation. Lo and behold even though I hadn’t left my name I got a call saying they did have a cancellation. We had a beautiful trip over the black hills.
