Great Views - Poor communication
Avery O,May 3, 2026
- Review from Viator
2.00We had an overall great experience, and the views were absolutely amazing. That said, there were a few details that could have been communicated more clearly. The “continental breakfast” ended up being a small bag of snacks that appeared to be from Costco, which was a bit disappointing compared to what we expected. We also paid extra for what was described as a more secluded, first-come, first-served balloon experience. However, when we arrived, there were already two balloons set up with smaller baskets holding about nine people each. Since our group had 18 people total, it seemed like the arrangement was predetermined, which made the “secluded” upgrade feel misleading—especially given the additional $35 per person. Additionally, the waiver gives the impression that the experience is limited to around four people, so it would be helpful if the company were more transparent about balloon sizes and group capacity ahead of time. Overall, the experience itself was beautiful, but clearer communication and more accurate descriptions would have made it much better.
Beautiful Bounty!

No wind

3.00Didn’t realize it was all by the wind if there’s not any wind, we really don’t go high. We just kind of float on the bottom. Everybody was nice. Everybody worked really hard, but I’ve had a better experience on a balloon in Colorado.
What a great experience...

Very unpleasant

1.00Extra charge "fat tax" I am writing to express my significant disappointment regarding an additional $25 surcharge I was issued during my recent flight. The charge was applied because my individual weight exceeds 225 lbs. I find this policy to be both inconsistent and discriminatory for the following reasons: * Total Weight Capacity: Your safety guidelines state that the total weight limit for two people is 450 lbs. As a party of two, our combined weight is well under this 450 lb limit. * Arbitrary Individual Limits: Charging an individual based on their specific weight when the total load is within the "two-person" safety standard feels less like a safety requirement and more like a "fat tax." * Customer Experience: Being singled out and charged extra for my body type, despite meeting the collective weight requirements, is humiliating and poor business practice. I would like a refund of this $25 surcharge. I believe your pricing should be based on the total weight impact on the balloon's capacity rather than penalizing individuals who fall within the aggregate safety limits. Janet was the person demanding my 25 dallors making it clear im fat .in front of 30 other customers. Not cool my girlfriend was surprised as well I was embarrassed. I
