Going up in a hot air balloon has been on my bucket list since I was a child. I've had the…read moreopportunity to travel all over the world and still never had the chance. I grew up watching the balloons soar over my house every morning; therefore, I may have had a bit of a high expectation for this adventure. We arrived to a coffee shop in Calistoga around 6am where we met our pilot, Shane Robinson. We then picked up another couple and headed to the Santa Rosa Airport to begin our balloon adventure. At the airport, we had the opportunity to see another balloon be filled and take off right before ours which was awesome since as we were in the sky that balloon was always in our horizon. (Pictures attached). Shane was extremely knowledgeable, charismatic, and overall made the experience one to last a lifetime. I feel extremely fortunate that I trusted my first experience with Calistoga Balloons and even more specifically with Shane himself. I would recommend this experience to any and everyone. I will be honest I was a bit hesitant due to the price but in comparison, it was $30 less expensive in comparison and they didn't try to over squish us into the basket/ oversell the tour. Cheaper isn't always better especially when it comes to your life! IN THE END, 1000000000% recommend P.S. Remember safety is first and if they cancel for the weather to just trust them because they are the experts! Your life isn't worth the gamble.

Weather was perfect, I was expecting a windy rocky ride up there but you literally just glide with the wind all while having a panoramic view of Calistoga. Now I saw several more hot air balloons floating over the Napa area which seemed more popular, not sure if the views may be more better on that side since this is my first ride but it is worth checking out. After the ride brunch is included. We were taken to SolBar for brunch with a preset menu. I was so impressed. When they mentioned we'd have food after the ride I was thinking coffee and pastries but this was a full on sit down brunch. I would definitely do this again.

Russian River Railbikes is part of the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to maintain, restore and run historically significant railroad equipment from the San Francisco Bay area. The guides are all volunteers from the Golden Gate Railroad Museum. The guides were friendly, helpful, and informative. You will get somewhat of a workout, although this is not strenuous. This is an activity that you can really do at any age and they are kid friendly. One of the guides stated that they have had someone in a car seat before (they have seat belts on them similar to a car) and a couple in their 80's has gone multiple times and they arrange ahead of time to have two guides on the railbike to help with pedaling. This truly is a great adventure for all ages! It's about 1 1/2 or two hours total and you will pass by a vineyard and farm. You will also go through a tunnel and stop half way where you will get out and stretch your legs. You can relax at a shaded table, dip your toes in the Russian River, or view a collapsed tunnel at this half way point. You will also have the option when you book this to purchase lunch ahead of time that you can enjoy at the half way point if you would like. It's recommended that you wear comfortable clothes, wear sunscreen, and bring any water and snacks with you on the railbike. We each brought a water bottle that came in very handy. You will have plenty of time afterwards to explore Cloverdale. An all around great experience that I highly recommend!

Walt from Walt's Adventures adventuring at the Menagerie Hill Ranch in Vacaville, California…read more Life can be interpreted as more fulfilling when filled with adventures. It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

Our basket held around 20 people, which felt cramped, and we ended up right under the burners. They are loud enough that I would recommend bringing ear plugs. My other complaint is the pre-flight refreshments. The website describes "freshly brewed coffee and artisanal pastries." What we got was watery, unpleasant coffee and pastries that tasted grocery store bought and slightly stale. It undercut the premium framing. That said, the ride and landing were smooth, and the balloon was a wonderful way to celebrate my partner's birthday. Afterward they drove us to Pope Valley Winery for two complimentary tastings and a space to hang out with other guests, which was a nice touch.
