Best Marrakech, Morocco Balloon Private Sightseeing Tours Reviews

#1 Atlas Mountains Hot Air Balloon Ride from Marrakech with Berber Breakfast and Desert Camel Experience

While Cappadocia, Turkey is probably the most famed city in the world for its hot air balloon rides, Marrakech is one of those hidden gems. However, for this bucket list experience, you need to go with someone reputable. The Atlas Mountains Hot Air Balloon Ride from Marrakech with Berber Breakfast and Desert Camel Experience is consistently one of the most highly-rated and sure to impress you, too!

After being picked up early in the morning by a 4×4 at your hotel, you’ll arrive on location to enjoy a delicious platter of snacks! Typically, they consist of fresh-baked pastries, tea, coffee, and other tasty options to fuel up as the crew sets up your balloon! Before doing anything, your guide will provide you with a briefing to ensure everyone is safe and comfortable.

Hop on into the spacious basket and get ready for takeoff – each one can hold a max of 16 people, making it perfect for the entire family! Watch as the neon orange sun rises over the Atlas Mountains and illuminates the vast desert landscapes. The contrasting mountains are simply incredible from this point of view, so make sure to have your camera out!

After that exhilarating ride, touch down safely and head into a tent that looks out over the picturesque mountains. The crew will serve up an amazing breakfast consisting of Berber traditional dishes like cornbread, olives, pancakes, fruit, mint tea, and more. After, you’ll then take a fun camel ride around the Palmeraie desert right next to the camp!

You may have to take a nap afterward, but this is one of the most complete, authentic Marrakech experiences one could have!

#2 Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Marrakech with Traditional Breakfast

When we first arrived to Marrakech, we really loved learning about the Berbers. This indigenous North African group of nomadic people are experts with camels, as well as experts in preparing delicious meals! You’ll get to try some on the Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Marrakech with Traditional Breakfast, after getting that adrenaline pumping high up in the sky!

This tour makes things really easy, with a convenient pickup right from your hotel at the start time that works best for you. Typically, they’ll offer a beautiful sunrise tour along with a few different options throughout the day. However, we highly recommend the 6 am flight if you can swing it, as the sun rising up over the desert is truly phenomenal.

After receiving a briefing about safety and what you can expect on your ride, you’ll head into the spacious basket and get ready for takeoff. Once you lift off, you’ll be able to really take in all the sights and sounds of Morocco just waking up from down below. Watch as the palm groves and red dust become illuminated by the golden sun, as your expert pilot offers an educational commentary.

This, alone, would honestly make the excursion worth it. However, once you set back down on the ground, you’ll head over to a Moroccan tent and get ready to enjoy an authentic Berber breakfast! Our breakfast consisted of bread, pancakes, olive oil, jam, and honey, along with hot tea and freshly-brewed coffee. The cherry on top was the friendly staff who not only make you feel safe, but like you’re family.

The Marrakech: Classic Shared Balloon Flight is the perfect option if you’re on a budget but don’t want to miss out! As the title suggests, you may have to share your basket with a few others, but it actually makes it that much more fun!

You’ll first be picked up from your hotel by your driver, and head over to the countryside in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. Before you embark on this exciting ride, your guide will answer any questions you may have and give you a briefing on what to expect. Sit back and relax while your team prepares your balloon!

Once it’s ready, head out and step into the basket, getting ready for a beautiful adventure! You’ll cover anywhere from 9 to 15 miles, depending on weather conditions and wind speed. However, in all of the journeys, you’ll have the opportunity to fly over a local village and take in the gorgeous natural landscapes for around an hour-long ride.

After you get back safely to the ground, you’ll all head to a local village to enjoy some tasty mint tea and home-baked bread in a local Berber home. Here, you’ll get valuable insight into the local culture and their friendliness while reminiscing over the amazing flight you just had! From the on-point organization to the expertise and kindness of the staff (not to mention the view!), this is an experience you have to see to believe.

#4 Hot Air Balloon Over Red City of Marrakech, Atlas Mountains

Are you looking for a serene and relaxing experience to start out your day with? Perhaps you’d like to learn more about local culture in the ancient city of Marrakech in a unique way? Whatever the case may be, the Hot Air Balloon Over Red City of Marrakech, Atlas Mountains Tour is one of our top picks!

Just like with the other tours, your tour starts out by you getting picked up in a fun 4×4 vehicle! Head outside the city for some peace and quiet, and the chance to really take in the stunning natural environment of the region. Upon arrival, you’ll get acquainted with the crew and receive a comprehensive safety briefing, enjoy tea and coffee, and watch the team set up your balloon.

After everything is ready to go, head on over to your balloon and get in the large basket. These baskets accommodate many more people, which means you can’t go quite as high. However, we found it was not only the perfect height for the environment, but also for those with a fear of heights.

As you soar up high, enjoy the deep valleys and towering mountains over the foothills as your pilot tells you all about the history and geography of the area. After coming back down to the ground, you’ll get to enjoy a delicious traditional Barber breakfast. By the time you’re done, you’ll have a happy stomach, plenty of amazing photos, and a lot of newfound insight into this amazing country’s culture.
