However, I must say, I enjoyed EVERY second of this trip and I would definitely go back if the opportunity ever arises. Adventure Balloon Sports was very professional throughout this whole experience- from the booking to timely follow up email, to clearly locating the crew in the morning, to driving us back from the landing site, to just basic conversation. I was overall very impressed. And, more importantly, our pilot, Colin, seemed very experienced and skilled at his craft. He was more than willing to answer any questions we had about the dynamics of ballooning and was personable while manning his station and giving us an awesome flight. The experience itself was something I'll never forget. We hit 2300 feet that morning and the sites were incredible. The basket was very peaceful and didn't make me nervous at all. I will say though I would not want to be in here with more than 10 people though- it was cramped!! Also, I feel like Adventure Balloon Sports really went above and beyond just the normal experience. They provided a delicious breakfast and coffee set-up when we arrived in the morning and then also had mimosas and snacks when we returned. When considering the importance of profit margin within a business this is definitely something that earns my respect. The staff was young, but very courteous and friendly. The owner Kevin even stopped by at the end of the trip to introduce himself. In conclusion, if you're nervous about a trip, afraid of heights, or just want an awesome memory- call Adventure Balloon Sports!

This was my first balloon ride and let me say that I had high expectations…read more They were definitely surpassed starting with the crew and pilot we were greeted with a warm welcome and some delicious fruit and granola breakfast (how perfect for boulder). When we were ready to launch they got everyone involved which made the experience that much better. Fortunately we picked a day that had beautiful weather so Colin the pilot was able to take us up past 4,000 ft above our launch site.... It was high considering there was nothing between me and the ground besides a wicker basket. Touching down in between some houses and power lines I would say the crew was very talented. I would recommend ABS for any balloon trips.

I've had many review courses over the years and typically you suit up and get in the pool, practice buoyancy, mask clearing and buddy breathing. PADI requires only those three skills for the course and it's fun, but this instructor told me and the one other guy in the class at the outset he didn't believe in that and would test us on all 20 skills on their list and if we didn't like it we should leave now. After we'd paid. We spent the next 2.5 hours in the deep end of a 78 degree pool. It was like army basic training. And when I said I hadn't signed up to take all my gear off and put it back on while treading water he said I was whining. Go to Oceans First, much better.

We felt very comfortable flying with Michael, his years of experience, and obvious love of his craft. If your in the Area, don't pass up the opportunity to fly with Michael and his crew.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience…read more My wife booked a zipline reservation for me and our family while we were visiting Colorado from Massachusetts. We were busy getting ready for the day when she booked the zip line and she was unaware of my current weight, and the online booking process did not require participant weights before payment. When we arrived, I was weighed before the tour began and was informed that I exceeded the maximum weight limit and could not participate. It was clear to the acting manager that I was not aware of the weight limit. I completely understand and respect that the weight limit is in place for safety. What disappointed me was how my request was handled afterward. I asked if the company would consider a goodwill refund since I was turned away before the activity even began and that I was not aware of the policy. I was told that my request would be emailed to the owners and that I would receive a response within two days. No one ever contacted me. I followed up after waiting 5 days and at that time was told the owners were away for the week. When I contacted the company again, Acting Manager Brandon told me that the email requesting the owners' review that he said he sent while we were there had never actually been sent. He also informed me that, despite the email never being sent as promised, the company would still be following its policy and would not refund my payment. I understand businesses have policies, and I respected the safety decision without argument. My disappointment is with the lack of follow-through and customer service. I was promised a response that never came, had to repeatedly follow up myself, and ultimately received a denial after being told the owners had never even received the original request. No response from the owners as promised and when I had to call again I was told by Brandon that the owners would be sticking to their policy and I could dispute it with my credit card company if that is what I wanted to do. When I asked for an email so that I could contact the owners I was told that was not possible. If you're considering booking, make absolutely certain every participant meets all requirements before purchasing. The company weighs participants upon arrival, and if someone is over the limit, don't expect a refund--even if the activity never begins and you are visiting from out of state. I respect the need for safety rules. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the way this situation was handled. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of willingness to consider the individual circumstances. Customer service isn't just about enforcing policies--it's also about recognizing when an honest mistake has occurred and exercising reasonable discretion. Despite the circumstances, there appeared to be no meaningful review of the situation and no consideration of a one-time exception. We visit Colorado every couple years and we will make sure to choose another company when looking for an adventure.
