The view is spectacular, and our pilot, Eric, was friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable.... A great way to see this majestic place in New York!!!

    Beware

    Annamarie_V, May 2026
    Had it scheduled and they canceled due to wind . No notice , no message telling us . We were on the Canada side , took 30 minutes to cross thru customs. A message would have been nice !! Now we are left with nothing scheduled!!!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this caused. Safety is always our top priority, and due to changing wind conditions, flights can sometimes be canceled on short notice. That said, we completely understand how upsetting it was to make the trip across the border and arrive without receiving timely communication from us. We appreciate this feedback and are actively reviewing our notification process to ensure guests are informed as quickly as possible in situations like this. Please reach out to us directly so we can help reschedule your experience and make this right. Thank you for your understanding, and again, we truly apologize for the disappointment.

    Blahhhhh

    The tethered part of the attraction is presented in one place at the very bottom. I thought we would fly over Niagra State Park. The price is too high for going up and down. I had a better view of the falls from the hotel room. It's not a great place for pictures because the netting is in the way, which is should be for safety reasons. The trip would have been worth it if we moved.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it can be when an attraction feels different from what you anticipated. Our balloon experience is a tethered attraction designed to provide elevated panoramic views of Niagara Falls and the surrounding area while remaining safely anchored in place. We do try to communicate this clearly throughout the booking process, but we appreciate your feedback regarding the visibility and placement of that information and will continue working to make it more prominent for future guests. We also understand your comments regarding photography and perceived value. Safety netting is an important part of the experience, but we recognize it can impact photos for some guests. Your feedback is truly appreciated as we continue improving both the guest experience and how the attraction is presented online. Thank you again for visiting and sharing your thoughts with us.

    Poorly planed/ time

    Stephen_C, May 2026
    Waited 5 minutes b4 the ride was scheduled to cancel it, then tells us its going to be a week before we get our refund what a joke. I get the safty part im thankfully for that but if you knew that morning you should of let us know then. And a week or longer to get our money back but they make us pay on the spot and take it from out acount.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this caused. We completely understand how upsetting it is to arrive for your scheduled ride, only to have it canceled at the last minute after already making plans and paying in advance. Safety will always come first with weather and wind conditions, but we also recognize that communication is just as important. Your feedback about the timing of the cancellation is valid, and we understand why you feel you should have been notified sooner if conditions were already trending unsafe earlier in the day. We also understand your frustration regarding the refund timeline. While refunds can take several business days to process depending on the bank or credit card provider, we know that doesn’t make the situation any less frustrating when payments are charged immediately. We truly appreciate your feedback and apologize again for the disappointment. Please reach out to us directly so we can look into your reservation and assist further.

    Anything for a Fall.

    You can see all of the Falls. The picture given I thought would have been authentic but it was like a cheap backdrop already installed.

    Jessica was a very professional pilot who made our flight fun and memorable. The view was great. It's a little windy and cold up in the air.
