EXCELLENTVerified Bucket List Item Completed! Taking a hot-air balloon ride has been a bucket list item of mine for many years. We finally got to do it, and it was totally worth it! The set-up and prep were smooth, and the ride was comfortable and beautiful (thanks, Mother Nature). My only concern pre-flight was related to my fear of heights. I thought that might negatively affect the experience. It really didn't. Even seeing the matchbox-sized semi's below didn't freak me out much.I highly recommend Vista Balloon Adventures and Pilot Kelly for a superb experience!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Memories are made of this. Thank you Matt, Rob and all the team at Vista Balloon Adventures for an amazing day yesterday. My son Jonathan and daughter-in-law Donna really surprised me when they said they had booked me a balloon flight knowing it was on my bucket list. I was a little bit apprehensive at first but once we were in the air I felt at ease , Rob was a very experienced and knowledgeable pilot and I knew we were in safe hands. If anyone asks me if I can recommend a balloon flight company there is no doubt that my recommendation will be Vista Balloon Adventures. My experience will be my favourite memory all time xxPosted on TripadvisorVerified What a beautiful way to start the day First time in a hot air balloon. It was incredIble!Even though he couldn’t land where he planned, our pilot Rod, did a wonderful job!Thank you Vitsa Balloons for a great adventure.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Ballooning with Vista Quality of whole experience was terrific. Setup and tear down of balloons was efficient and quick. Pilots of all four balloons were skilled and personable especially Rod. Each pilot controlled every aspect of the massive balloon;s; even going low to touch the river and back to altutde. I highly recommend Vista Balloon Adventures.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Totally worth it! Awesome ride. The people are super nice and very knowledgeable. We had to postpone a bunch of times because of weather but it was worth it!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Greatly exceeded our expectations! I anticipated having a wonderful time floating around and enjoying the views below. I didn't plan on our pilot to be so funny and engaging, nor did I think we would get to participate in the process of blowing up and taking down the balloon. Also, I had no idea the balloon would go up and down several times and even land/float on the water! Lastly, the view of all the other beautiful balloons around us in the sky was breathtaking. What a fantastic time! Each and every person I spoke with at Vista was so friendly. I've been telling everyone I know to give it a try!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Great Experience! Amazing views, polite, competent staff. This was the perfect birthday gift for my hard-to-please husband. Highly recommended!!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Mind Blowing Loved landing on the Clackamas River for a moment before heading back to the skies. I was blown away by the amount of control the person in charge of the Ballon had to ascend and descend. It was a totally worth our time and $ and I would definitely do it again.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Best Balloon Ride Ever! If I could give them 10 stars, I would!! I cannot say enough good things about this company and experience! Top to bottom, it was professional, safe, comfortable, and a pure joy! I first need to mention that I received a gift certificate right before COVID. Then I moved out of state, which made it harder to book a trip. Needless to say, after almost 4 yrs, they honored my gift certificate!!! Unbelievably kind of them!! We had John as our captain. He has been doing this for a number of years and is the one who trains all the others. He was knowledgeable and engaging and made you feel safe. The morning of our flight could not have been more perfect and gorgeous! We floated along effortlessly and were able to take in the scenery and enjoy the sunrise peacefully. We even touched down on the river!!!! Splash and dash, they called it!! My 15-year-old son thought it was a really cool way to start a day....and that was at 5:15AM!!!! I would do this over and over and over again!!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Pure joy! What a perfectly wonderful day, this is an amazing experience that everyone should do at least once in their life. This was my second trip with Vista Balloons and I can’t say enough about the experience. Pure joy! You’ve got to do this!!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Highly recommend!Posted on FacebookrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. We had a balloon trip scheduled for July. The staff were communicative before and morning of that the weather is variable and we might not be able to fly that morning. Indeed the wind conditions weren't good for flying so they had to make the tough call to cancel but I appreciated their focus on safety and that we would have a better experience another day. We called and got it rescheduled for September and can't wait to fly with Vista! They've been great and easy to work with.Posted on FacebookrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.
