Hot Air Balloon is a must try acitivity at Ubud!
Riding a Hot Air Balloon was thrilling yet exciting! This was worth it as it is a once in a lifetime experience. It was a little scary at first, but once I reached to the top; the view was breathtaking. However, the Hot Air Balloon can only be experienced in pleasent weathers (not windy/raining). The driver was also very kind and welcoming. Not only that, the afternoon tea was delicious as well. What a lovely way to spend time at Ubud!
Response from the operator: Dear Yasmin, First of all, Thank You very much for your value time to review this experience, its helpful for other traveller. see you again on the next trip

Administration of God's creation and natural beauty.
The view was beautiful and a experience that the family will never forget. The best part of the ride is the ascending and descending of the balloon. When you are up there the view is breath taking. Must do the balloon ride. It is available at Sunrise and sunset.
Response from the operator: Dear Keith, Thank You very much for your time to Review on this Trip, its helpful for other traveller . see you again on the next trip.

SCAM , Do Something Else .
Unfortunate but try anything else ! The absolute worst experience. It would have been perfect if you actually do the hot air balloon but 9/10 the weather won’t permit and you will not get a refund . I had to pay for two people and when you cannot do the tour they try to throw in these other tours that are way less money to actually do yourself. I ended up doing paying the driver myself to take me to Cretya and they’re trying to give me a partial refund for a $20 breakfast . Scam!
Response from the operator: Dear Shirley_T, We are very appreciate for your Review on this Trip. as our term of Booking for this activity is should the hot air balloon is not able to fly , passanger will be give two alternative as you have read in our website, you choose to keep Reschedulle the flight from morning to afternoon session ( try two times Fly Morning and afternoon ) , and our driver stand by from sunrise to sunset for you the whole day , but at the end still not able to fly , its was just because of weather, and this activity depend on weather too . we assume that you already read the term of condition before Purchase. we do all the service as well , only skip this hot air balloon of weather condition and you took the alternative option as well to change to noon schedulle , But you still complain in here , even we already wrote clearly the term condition on this activity . Thank You

Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tanjung Benoa.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tanjung Benoa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tanjung Benoa is not rushed.
Is Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tanjung Benoa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tanjung Benoa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tanjung Benoa and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Experience with Meals at Ubud start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tanjung Benoa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tanjung Benoa?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tanjung Benoa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tanjung Benoa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
