Flight never happened

Joshua_A, Oct 2025
Flight was canceled 1 hour before we were set to arrive. It was meant to be the highlight of our vacation and we planned everything around it. Woke up and packed up at 4am just to get a text at 5:45 that the flight was cancelled. Pilot stated it was due to the weather but by 7am the sky’s were clear. I called him and was told it was due to cloud cover. It sounded to me like he was just waking up. I’m not a pilot but I do have 20/20 eye sight and there were no clouds at 7am when we were meant to meet at 6:45 am. I spent $770 on a 3 hour experience that never happened and now expect a full return of my money.

Hello Joshua, We are sorry that we were not able to fly the morning of your tour. Our pilot is very careful about safety and complies with FAA regulations regarding all aspects of civil aviation. We are sorry that we were not able to fly on that date. You have been fully refunded, and again we are sorry that the flight was canceled.

It was wonderful!!! It was great witnessing the balloon set up. Kind of awesome that you are at the mercy of the winds. The pilot was very skilled. Breakfast and champagne toast was fun!

Happy Balloon Ride

Rita_R, Oct 2024
It was a beautiful day and a wonderful ride. Checked off a long standing bucket list item. Both Terry and Greg were awesome.

A ride that shows how big God is!

Glenda_M, Jul 2024
The most memorable memory is the view from over 12,000 feet up in the sky without an airplane. It shows us how small we really are and how mighty God is!

A bucket list experience

Susan_S, May 2024
This was an amazing experience! Our pilot Greg went way above and beyond to make every moment memorable!! This is a bucket list experience- don’t miss it!!! This was the highlight of our trip to Colorado Springs!

AMAZING!

Angela_C, Oct 2023
This was such an amazing experience to watch from beginning to end the setup and break down of the ballon. To be 14,000 feet up in the sky was breathtaking and the views was beautiful.

Hot air balloon ride

This was a great experience! I highly recommend this. We got to be part of a ballon festival in Pueblo, with multiple other balloons floating all around us.

Cathy_M, Jun 2022
This was awesome! The kids loved watching them set-up the balloon, and we had a perfect day for the adventure. After the ride is when they serve you a light breakfast — and our guide/pilot shared some interesting history about ballooning. Loved it all!

Great trip great operator but book direct

Fantastic balloon ride with an experienced pilot. Do NOT book through Viator. They charge you an extra $70 per person and do not stand behind the lowest price guaranteed claim

Kristi_M, Mar 2022
Not very near the mountains and very short ride. Not worth $355. Not breathtaking views for sure. Staff was good.

Thank you for the Wonderful Review. We appreciate you spending time with us.And thank you again for choosing Adventures Out West.

Very unique ride

Mercy_K, Dec 2020
Really great ride. Ended up just being the two of us. We got to do some things not usually done in a balloon. We had a great landing close to our takeoff point. After lifting off we went down wind, then changed altitude and our direction changed almost 180 degrees.

Response from Host, Dec 2020

Hello Mercy, Thank you again for joining us on the Hot Air Balloon Flight. Wonderful to hear you had a wonderful time.

Super flight! Would do it again.

Mercy_K, Nov 2020
Changing directions in mid-flight. We actually stopped any horizontal movement at about 2000 AGL. Our landing was the greatest. 4 little bumps.

Response from Host, Nov 2020

T-Dog knows how to have a good time in flight! Thank you for your comment!
