We the weather being so unpredictable we had to wait. I was fine with wait because i do value my life. I had the chance to cross off a major item from my bucket list. A hot air balloon ride and wow, what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Floating high above the landscape, seeing everything from a completely new perspective, was truly magical. The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!

We were picked up from our hotel at 5 am. Once we got to…read morethe meeting place, we filled some papers, and they had some plain croissants, bars, and coffee. Then, we drove to the launching point . Our pilot had a lot of experience and was friendly. He made sure that everyone was ok. The view was beautiful, but we got bored at some point because the view is the same the whole ride. The balloon travels between mile to 3 miles per hour. It takes a lot of malen power to fly the balloon, which makes sense of the hefty price for the ride. At the end of the ride, we were greeted back by a glass of Mimosa

I did my very first tandem skydive at NorCal Skydiving 18 years ago. Last July, I came back with my…read moredaughter and I did my second tandem, she did her first--and we immediately fell in love with skydiving & knew we wanted more. One month later, we did another jump at NorCal and expressed our desire to continue. Tyler & Jim explained the process of getting licensed and by then we knew there was no turning back. We started our AFF classes because we knew skydiving was something we wanted to keep doing... and we wanted to get licensed to jump alone. Tyler and everyone at NorCal Skydiving have been absolutely incredible. From day one, they've been supportive, motivational, and genuinely encouraging. Safety is clearly a top priority, and the team is always honest, fair, and professional while still making the entire experience fun and empowering. This is the kind of place that makes you believe in yourself and pushes you--safely and responsibly--to do things you never thought you could. I truly cannot recommend NorCal Skydiving enough. If you're even thinking about skydiving, this is where you want to be!!!

We spent the day at NorCal Skydiving yesterday celebrating my mom's 85th birthday -- yes, her 85th…read more(and not even her first jump -- she also went at 80!). About a dozen of us jumped together, while other friends and family came along to cheer us on. It was truly one of the best family outings ever. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the entire staff made the day unforgettable. From start to finish, every instructor and team member was not only highly professional and experienced, but also welcoming, funny, and able to put even the most nervous among us completely at ease. They took the time to check in with each of us about our comfort levels and gave us the choice to either soar gently like a bird or try out some more daring stunts -- always safe, but always exciting. I want to give a special shout-out to Tyler, my instructor, who made my first jump feel natural, safe, and completely exhilarating. Also to Jim, who wasn't working that day but hung out with us, shared amazing stories, and made us feel like part of the NorCal Skydiving family. What a pleasure to meet him! I honestly didn't know what to expect and thought I'd be terrified once I was up in the plane, but instead my fears disappeared and I was able to embrace the entire experience. The mix of freedom, serenity, and sheer accomplishment is something I'll never forget. If you've ever thought about skydiving, do it -- and do it here. NorCal Skydiving gave us one of the best days of our lives. I can't recommend them highly enough and I will definitely be back.

If you've been thinking about it, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to try this adventure at least once.

While we have used different outfits lately - we had a great experience with Russian River Adventures a few years back, so we came in excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing, mainly due to poor planning by the staff. We booked for four people on a Thursday - my wife, myself, and our two teens (14 and 16)--with the expectation that we'd have two boats, which is standard for this group size. However, the team miscounted the boats that morning. When we pointed this out, instead of fixing the mistake, they pulled us aside and crammed all four of us into a boat intended for three, squeezing in an extra seat to make it "fit." Visibly frustrated, the team promised to speak with the owner and make it right (it was two high schoolers running it that day). I didn't argue and wanted to at least try to have a good time and not be that Dad. The result on the boat? A very cramped and uncomfortable setup that made the inflatable much harder to steer and navigate--especially on a 9-mile river trip. This wasn't the experience we paid for or expected based on our prior trips. The staff seemed more focused on moving us along rather than making it right. Still haven't heard from the owner. We'll likely explore other options next time around. Disappointed to see the service slip like this.

She gave us ideas and offered to help support reservations as needed. Our driver Andy went above and beyond in everything he did. He was amazing and we wish we were out here on a more regular basis. One of the wineries we had scheduled a reservation at had some issues and needed to close early. We found out on our way to our second stop and before we even sat down, Andy texted us to let us know there were some additional options that he could book a reservation for us instead. He was so sweet, we loved our two days with him!

Jim is honestly super amazing. Where do I even begin? First of, Jim is very punctual as you can…read moreprobably see from the other reviews. The Saturday that he drove us, he knew there was an event, so he made sure to pick us up earlier to ensure we wouldn't be late to our first wine tasting. Throughout the day, he made sure we would have enough time to get from one winery to next. Second, Jim is a very safe driver. We rented a Tesla for the weekend, and he was able to drive the car without any issue. On top of that, he very nicely offered to charge the car for us, so we wouldn't have to do that the next day. Third, Jim is very knowledgeable. He knows wine and knows what winery would suit our taste. He has a wealth of knowledge about wine, and it was super fun to talk to him about that, which goes into my fourth point. Jim is very friendly and polite. It's extremely easy to talk to him, and we felt super comfortable right away. I am so glad we found Jim, and we'll definitely come back to him again the next time we're in Napa for wine tasting!

All the managers know him by name and it's refreshing to walk up to a winery and truly feel like a VIP. The cost was nominal when looking back at all the planning and coordination it would've taken to replicate our itinerary. Not to mention driving to each winery during what most don't realize is a pretty long day if done on your own. Instead it was one of the most relaxing experiences ever and something you should all highly consider if planning on visiting more than a couple of wineries in a day. Highly recommend reaching out to Jim he carries great pride in what he does and goes above and beyond to ensure the Napa experience is unforgettable!
