Safety clearly isn't an issue here, with even grandparents enjoying gentle, peaceful rides. Reviewers love how accommodating the team is, working around vacation schedules and making special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries feel extra memorable. The sunrise flights seem particularly popular, and that hour floating over Utah's landscape creates what many call an unforgettable core memory. Several people are already planning return trips, which tells you everything about the quality of the experience.
Our family doesn’t do heights …. But honestly getting the opportunity to ride in a hot air balloon was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up. So we got brave and together, went and had one of the most beautiful experiences together as a family. Everything was perfect and Lily was a fantastic pilot! So knowledgeable and so friendly and fun. We never felt the nervous, we actually forgot we were in the air! The scenery was beautiful and the entire experience was something we will never forget. We cannot thank Confetti Balloons enough 🤍
