It was so amazing and memorable! Our balloon flight could not have been more smooth and safe. I have a huge fear of heights… and our balloon pilot Scott, put me at ease. He was very professional and so knowledgeable- the BEST! We learned he actually trains other pilots - which made me feel even more calm. We HIGHLY recommend this company. The crew let our 10 yr old girls be a part of the set up and allowed them to learn hands on more about the process! They were extremely patient with answering all of our questions and super kind! They also taught us all about the history of ballooning and made the experience even more memorable!! We highly recommend using this professional, kind and safe company!! We would definitely use them again on our next flight!

This was the most awesome first time experience! Scott was well organized, knowledgeable, fun and informative. No stone was left unturned. Not only was the flight so much fun and exciting but we felt a part of the flight’s procedure by participating in furling the balloon at the end. I would recommend Bigfoot Balloons to anyone!

AN ABSOLUTE MUST!
Do not even hesitate for one moment if you're debating going on this ride! This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Definitely a check off of the bucket list.
I was really worried about who to book our hot air balloon ride with. I googled and researched for weeks. Now, there is no one else I will ever book with.
Don't wait another moment, book your appointment now. Jake and his crew are absolutely amazing to ride with and took such great care of us. And at the end of the tour they did a champagne toast under the picturesque sun and beautiful landscape.
Bigfoot Balloons exceeded expectations on all levels. We will most certainly be doing this again. Everyone should have the opportunity to do this.
They gave us the memory of a lifetime!

We had a great time in the hot air balloon. Jake was great at explaining what was going on and answering any questions we had. The ride was nice and slow. My son is scared of heights and he said it was fine. The young adults were able to help with packing up the balloon at the end. The champagne at the end of the ride on the ground was a plus and a tradition as explained to us. We highly recommend going with Bigfoot Balloons. It was a great experience!

Absolutely exceeded expectations! The crew made this experience very enjoyable. We could see all of park city from the balloon and I believe got to 3,000ft. I thought I wouldn't feel safe up that high but ride was very smooth and felt 100% safe.

Jake and his crew did a fantastic job, starting from the ease of registration to the toast at the end. Great balloon and basket, felt safe and secure and we could not have asked for a better weather day and overall experience. Worth every penny of the cost. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area doing this.

An Amazing experience! We went as a family and it was all of our first times. The flight was so calm at times you wouldn’t even know you were flying- and it is such an awesome view. Staff makes you feel part of the whole experience-they are so knowledgeable- we learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. Definitely recommend!

Jake and his crew work amazing. From pre trip communications to excellent setup takeoff and pin point landing without even a bump on landing. Also thanks to Daniel for awesome videos and pictures. Can’t wait for our next flight.

We had a great experience with Jake as our balloonist. Everything went according to plan and the crew (Jake II & Daniel) were friendly and informative. What a great adventure and another bucket list item checked off.

what's the maximum height the tour will go?
Jacob T
1 contribution
We usually average between 500-2000 feet. We use different wind currents at different altitudes to steer the balloon. So the speed and direction of the wind determines our altitude. Generally between 500-2000 feet.

Do guests usually give a gratuity to the guide? What % range? Is the gratuity then shared with the ground crew?
Just a first-timer and unfamiliar with practices in this industry.
Thanks

Gratuities are not expected but they are very much appreciated. There is not a set amount but I would base it on how much you feel the pilot and crew impacted your experience. We do share our tips with the ground crew.

How many can go in one balloon.
Can a four-year old go?
Mr. Daniel
Mill Valley, CA11 contributions
I think he said 5 passengers and one pilot was the max, but you should just write and ask. The edge/guardrail of the basket is about 42" high so a 4 yr old might not see much depending on how tall they are.

How many can go in one balloon flight. Can a four year old go?
Jacob T
1 contribution
We can carry up to 6. We recommend 5 but a morning flight would be an option for a 4 year old. The main concern is them being able to see over the basket and content in a basket for an hour. If you do not mind holding them and you think that the activity is appropriate for your child's personality then we would love to take you flying.
How much for just two people

$400. For 2 people for a shared ride with other people. We live in the Atlanta, GA area, and this was the best price for this area. Would highly recommend taking this flight. We took several pictures in the gondola and the chase vehicle person got some great shots of us in the air.
How much does it cost with two people
Jacob T
1 contribution
We offer a shared flight for $400 for 2 of you, which means we will pair you with another group that is booked that day. We also have an exclusive flight if you would like it to be just your group which is $650 for both of you.

How much does it cost for the hot air balloon?
Jacob T
1 contribution
$200 per person in our shared flight. A shared flight means that you may be flying together with another group of passengers. We also offer private flights if you would like for it to be just your group in the basket with the pilot and that starts at $650 for 2 people.
