    Peaceful experience

    What a peaceful experience! Saw wildlife (elk and fox) from up above. The pilot was very knowledgeable and shared numerous stories with us. Enjoyed the beautiful of the Grand Tetons. Liked the champagne toast at our return to the ground as well as history on hot air ballooning.

    Fantastic Experience

    We met at 6:15 in Teton Village. They took us in vans to an open field where they laid the basket on its side and connected it to the rolled out balloon. Then, they partially filled it, using fans. Then they started blowing flames into the balloon which made it fill more & more until the heat started raising it off the ground and filled it full of air. This was fascinating. It was our first time. Once the balloon was full, we all got in and our expert pilot, Alisa, gave us instruction and we went up. How surreal. It's completely silent except for the periodic bursts of flames to raise the altitude. No description here can really convey what the experience is like. It's totally beautiful. I highly recommend it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review Buddy! The process of setting up and taking down a balloon is very unique and we appreciate your interest! We are so grateful to hear that you enjoyed your experience so much!

    Alisa and Richard pilots...

    Alisa and Richard pilots were great. Lovely experience of watching the options up in the air. Alisa was very careful while piloting the balloon. Crew supporting the landing were great

    Awful trip

    What a horrible balloon ride! First you fly over a cattle ranch and get to sniff some nasty fragrances. Our ride went up and then most of the ride it was over the ground where we just hovered. I don't know if there was not the right air/wind conditions or if there was too much weight in the basket but a hot air balloon ride should be up not over the ground. Then when we landed we had to navigate getting out of the basket and not stepping in the manure. Having a glass of champagne while standing near cow poop. I know Wyoming is rustic but come on. What a waste of money! Never again.

    Response from the operator: Hello Mary! We are so sorry to hear that your flight was unsatisfying and appreciate your feedback. We are committed to delivering flights over the Snake River Ranch that are pleasant and offer the opportunity to be surrounded by local wildlife and ranch life without making our customers uncomfortable. We are truly sorry this was not your experience! Thank you again for your honest review!

    First hot air balloon ride!

    I’d been looking forward to this for a long time! Finally got my hot air balloon ride and it was great. We were in the air for close to an hour and had mimosas once back on the ground. The only thing I would change is the fact that the balloons aren’t ready to go when we arrive. The crew is literally unpacking them from bags and hooking up all the lines to the baskets. I just feel that is wasted time for the customer who has to arrive at 7 am then wait for the balloons to be prepared.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! It is so helpful for us to know what made the experience so wonderful for you, and what you think could make it even better. We take your feedback seriously and appreciate the time you took to get it to us!

    Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Grand Teton National Park.

    How much does Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole cost?

    +

    Prices start at $525 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Grand Teton National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Grand Teton National Park is not rushed.

    Is Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Grand Teton National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole?

    +

    Around 4 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 Grand Teton National Park 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 Grand Teton National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole 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 Grand Teton National Park 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 Grand Teton National Park?

    +

    Grand Teton tours run sunrise wildlife safaris for moose and bears, Snake River float trips, Jenny Lake shuttles and hikes, and combined Yellowstone and Teton loops. On Outty we rank every Grand Teton National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Teton Half Day Tour, Yellowstone Lower Loop Full-Day Tour, Yellowstone National Park - Full-Day Lower Loop Tour from Jackson. 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 Grand Teton National Park?

    +

    June to September, with wildlife most active at dawn and dusk. 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 Grand Teton National Park?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 10 listed pickup locations in and around Grand Teton National Park. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Scenic Hot Air Balloon Rides in Jackson Hole if the weather is bad?
