Scam!!! Never booking with them again
SCAM BEWARE!! We booked a tour with someone called Ashwin for a Sunday. And he sent me a payment link and I paid- he said Sunday is fully booked- you can go Monday or Tuesday, both of which are working days and do not suit us. I have been begging for a refund for days, and escalated the case now to the bank to report for fraud, and heading to police soon. Long story short- SCAM!!! Keep you money safe.
Response from the operator: Dear Valuable Customer, Thank you for rating us regarding our services and, we regret to learn that you were not pleased with our services. We would like to hear more about this situation, kindly we request you to reply back to feedback@raynatours.com along with your booking reference number or Bill number and we shall look into this situation. With Warm Regards, Guest Experience Team

Unforgettable Experience!
This was truly one of the best experiences of my life! The ground staff was incredibly professional, and the hospitality was top-notch from start to finish. Watching the sunrise from the hot air balloon was absolutely breathtaking – a magical moment I’ll cherish forever. A big thank you to Rayna and the balloon team for creating such a memorable adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Response from the operator: Dear Valuable Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We take pride in giving delightful service to our customers and are overjoyed to receive your compliments and appreciation. We look forward to serving you in the future as well.

Hot balloon experience
I booked a very last minute hot Balloon tour with Rayna Tours and Travel. Thanks to the amazing help of Zin, I could join the tour. The Balloon flight at sunrise accompanied with a breakfast afterwards and a quad xperience with a small camel ride made it all worthwhile. Zin was very helpful even after working hours he would reply and help me.
Response from the operator: Dear Valuable Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We take pride in giving delightful service to our customers and are overjoyed to receive your compliments and appreciation. We look forward to serving you in the future as well.

Fly high in Dubai Skies!
Had a fantastic time watching the sunrise on the Balloon flights and the breakfast was delicious. The entire experience was managed well and we would highly recommend.

We are so glad to learn that the company and service has far exceeded your expectations and thank you for your kind words of encouragement. We look forward to welcoming you back in the destination and be of service in the near future. With warm regards, Guest Experience Team Rayna Destination Management

Be aware for unannounced and dangerous flying conditions
Not only am I displeased with the lack of professionalism by the balloon pilot, during this service I was injured, feared for my life, and was not properly educated on how to be a passenger on this balloon. Multiple people were injured on my flight including whiplash, contusions , abrasions and sprained fingers due to Captain Myron and his lack of control of the balloon. The pilot operated the balloon recklessly without the concern of the passengers on board. Myself and many others were injured when the pilot landed the balloon roughly not once but twice, resulting in me hitting my head. Due to these incidents I received extreme neck pain accompanied by severe headaches proceeding the next 48 hours-not to mention these injuries confined me and my sister to our room, unable to leave, ruining the remaining days on our trip. Management is unorganized and the only person available on site to remedy concerns is a young woman named Emma - and isn’t very helpful with names . The company itself operated with Balloon Flight and lacks proper education protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of its passengers.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, At the outset, we would like to thank you for choosing Rayna Destination Management as your service provider and once again we are sincerely apologizing for the inconvenience that you've experienced during your recent tour with us. However, your feedback is invaluable, and we genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding. We assure you that we take these issues seriously and we will use your feedback to make necessary improvements to our services by taking disciplinary actions. We are in the process of implementing a stringent communication protocol within our operational team. Rest assured; we will address each of these concerns with our team to prevent similar incidents in the future. We hope to be of service again to you and your family in the near future. With Warm Regards, Guest Experience Team Rayna Destination Management

Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dubai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dubai cost?
+
Prices start at $1101 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai 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 Rides in Dubai take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Dubai is not rushed.
Is Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dubai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dubai?
+
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 Rides in Dubai suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dubai?
+
Around 3 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 Dubai 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 Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dubai 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 Dubai 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 Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. 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 Dubai?
+
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 Dubai?
+
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.
