5.00Well organized, friendly staff, and Jayson (pilot) was fantastic! Jayson was full of knowledge, kind demeanor and great energy!! Responsive and attentive to patrons queries and his local connection to the community/area was comforting. Also, the ground crew works together like a well oiled machine. The ride was perfection!!! Great weather, great piloting, and smooth landing.

5.00I was a little nervous about doing this since I have an aversion to heights. However, once we met our pilot and saw the professionalism of the operation I felt a lot better. The views of the valley were incredible and I didn't feel unsafe at all. Face your demons and give it a try. I'm glad I did.
It's an experience...

4.00The actual experience was a 10 out of 10. The staff was very accommodating. The views were amazing however there was a mix up between Viator and the vendor. We were turned away because Viator submitted our names after the vendor closed so we were not on the manifest. We were extremely disappointed as we had changed our flight to take the hot air balloon ride. We left very upset to say the least. We received a call from the vendor that they had space if we could make it back in time. We exceeded the speed limit to make it back before the vans took off. I highly recommend Viator contact the vendor prior to and after reservations are made.
