Best Hot Air Balloon Ride EVER! Such a special Mother's Day treat. The morning flight was calm and beautiful with stunning views and perfect weather. The pilots, Lou and Dave, were very professional and informative about the Moab scenery. The crew ensures a high level of safety while you just relax and take in the amazing experience. Rank highly on... More

Forget any jitters, go outside your comfort zone and take this balloon ride! The amazement starts just watching the crew inflate the balloon and continues with an incredibly smooth and relaxing ride as you glide over Moab and the stunning scenery with the very knowledgeable and highly accomplished pilot, Lou. I also want to mention Dave who was our ATV... More

Took the Canyonlands hot air balloon ride for my birthday last weekend. Lou was a great pilot - put everyone at ease, very informative & super fun! The views were absolutely stunning. He was able to dip us into a canyon at one point, so we were able to see it up close. I felt safe the whole time, and... More

Safety and enjoyment were top priorities of the ground and flight crew. We had a blast and hope to return one day! I would recommend anyone do this at least once in their life.

We had the BEST time hot air ballooning with Canyonlands Ballooning. The first day we were scheduled, we couldn't go up because the wind was gusting too much to get the balloon inflated. We were able to schedule another time during our trip and the weather was perfect. Lou is such a fun guide and we were in awe of... More

Please note, I did not get to fly with these guys and I was very disappointed. Never-the-less, I think that I still have good reason to commend them. On three separate days the ballooning had to be cancelled due to high winds. On one of those days, we even had a partial fill of the balloon before cancelling. Safety ruled.... More

Lou and his team were wonderful. I felt safe the entire time and they went out of their way to make their customers feel comfortable. I have been to Moab three times now and this was the most memorable way to see it. It was great!

My husband and I went on this adventure last week as part of our honeymoon. It was quite the adventure!! The pilot was very competent and amusing, and the views were great! We got "double" the adventure we thought we'd purchased though - as we ended up landing in a completely new location and got an off-road adventure coming back... More

My husband and I are from Wisconsin and took a trip to Moab over spring break with our 19 year-old daughter who is a college student at Santa Clara U. in California.

So it was an intimate and memorable. I would do it again in a heartbeat and soo would my honey bun. hahahaha... More
