Where You Fly

Balloons lift off from the Palmerie on the northern edge of Marrakech, just before sunrise. From there you drift over palm groves, traditional Berber villages and the Haouz Plain, with the High Atlas Mountains — and on clear mornings the snow-capped peak of Jebel Toubkal — filling the southern horizon. To the north lie the Jbilet Hills; to the south-west, the stone desert of the Agafay.

Testimonial

Sarah Mitchell

Floating silently above the Agafay Desert as the sky turned from deep purple to gold was genuinely one of the most moving moments of my life. The whole operation was seamless — pickup on time, friendly crew, and a gorgeous Moroccan breakfast to finish. If you only do one thing in Marrakech, make it this.

Hans Weber

We chose the VIP package for my wife's birthday and it was worth every dirham. Eating breakfast while drifting a thousand metres above the Atlas Mountains felt surreal. The pilot was knowledgeable and funny, and the whole team went above and beyond. We have already recommended it to everyone we know.

Yuki Tanaka

I was nervous about heights but the ride was so smooth I forgot all about it within minutes. The silence up there is incredible — you can hear birds below you. The views of the palm groves stretching to the mountains were like a painting. Only giving four stars because the morning was slightly hazy, but that was just the weather, not the service.

Marie Dubois

My partner organised a private balloon flight to propose and the team helped him plan every detail without me suspecting a thing. When we were floating above the desert at sunrise he got down on one knee — it was absolutely magical. The crew even had flowers and decorations ready when we landed. A memory we will treasure forever.

Carlos Mendez

We booked the classic flight as a family of four and it was the highlight of our Moroccan holiday. The children were thrilled and the pilot made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. The traditional breakfast afterwards was delicious and plentiful. A fantastic experience at a very fair price — we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Common Questions

Safety, timings, prices and what to wear — answered before you book.

01 - How safe is a hot air balloon ride in Marrakech?

Your safety is the single most important thing we do. Every one of our pilots holds full international certification and completes ongoing training. Before every flight, our ground crew runs a full inspection of the balloon, basket, and burner system. We only launch when the weather is well within our safety parameters, and our equipment is serviced and certified on a regular schedule. Across our entire history we have maintained a spotless safety record.

02 - When is the ideal season to fly a balloon in Marrakech?

Marrakech has good ballooning weather for most of the year. The peak season runs from October to April, when the air is crisp, the skies are clear, and the temperatures are comfortable at altitude. Flights in summer (June to August) are still possible, though the ground temperature before and after the flight can get hot. We never fly in strong wind, storms, or low visibility.

03 - What time of day do balloon flights take off?

All flights launch at sunrise, when the wind is at its calmest and the light is at its best. Hotel pickup is usually around 5:00 AM. The exact time shifts slightly across the seasons as sunrise moves, and we will send you your precise pickup time the day before your flight.

04 - How long is the full balloon experience from start to finish?

Plan for around four hours total. That covers the drive from your hotel to the launch field, watching the balloon come to life during inflation, a short safety briefing, the 45 to 60 minute flight itself, a traditional Moroccan breakfast once you are back on solid ground, and the return transfer to Marrakech.

05 - What clothing is recommended for the flight?

Dress in layers — mornings before sunrise can be surprisingly cool, even in the warmer months, and it warms up quickly once the sun is up. Closed-toe shoes with flat soles are essential; sandals, flip-flops, and heels are not allowed. Bring sunglasses and apply sunscreen before you leave. Please avoid loose scarves, dangling jewellery, or anything that could catch near the burner flame.

06 - Are there any passenger restrictions I should know about?

Guests must be at least six years old to fly. For medical safety reasons, we cannot carry pregnant passengers. If you have a serious heart condition, a spinal issue, or any condition that limits your ability to stand for an extended period, please check with your doctor before booking. A maximum weight limit of 120 kg per passenger also applies.

07 - What is the policy if weather forces a cancellation?

Safety is never negotiable. If the weather is outside our flying window, we reach out to you as early as possible — often the evening before — to arrange an alternative date during your stay. If your schedule does not allow a reschedule, you get a full refund with no cancellation charges whatsoever.

08 - How can I reserve a flight and what payment methods do you accept?

You can reserve your flight through our online contact form, by phone, or on WhatsApp. A deposit of 50€ (or 500 MAD) per person locks in your date, and the remaining balance is due before the flight. We accept bank transfers as well as cash payment at the launch site. For group bookings or private charters, get in touch directly and we will tailor the arrangement to suit your needs.

09 - What are the prices for a balloon flight in Marrakech?

We have three options to match every budget and occasion. The Classic Flight starts at 1,700 Dhs per person on a shared balloon with 16 to 24 fellow travellers. The Private Flight starts at 5,000 Dhs and gives your group exclusive use of the entire balloon for up to 28 guests. The VIP Flight, from 6,000 Dhs, includes a private balloon for up to 30 passengers with a full breakfast served on board. Every package includes hotel transfers, the 4x4 ride to the launch field, the flight itself, breakfast, and a personalised certificate.

10 - Is the balloon ride suitable for children?

Children aged six and over are very welcome on any of our flights. The basket walls are high and sturdy, so the environment feels secure, and the pilot gives a clear safety briefing before every departure. An accompanying adult is required for all young passengers. If you are travelling with young children, the Private Flight is a great pick — it lets your family enjoy the morning privately and without any time pressure.

11 - I am nervous about heights — will I enjoy the flight?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and the answer almost always surprises people. Unlike standing on a cliff edge or looking out from a tall building, a balloon basket feels remarkably stable because it drifts with the air currents rather than against them. There is no swinging, no wind in your face, and no sudden drops. The vast majority of our guests who start out anxious describe the flight as one of the most serene experiences they have ever had. Our pilots are well practised at putting first-timers at ease from the very first moment.
