Hot air balloon rides at the 2024 Teton Valley Balloon Rally cost $410/person and are generally available to the public, by reservation only, two out of the four mornings of the Rally. Ride requests generally open in early May. Requests for balloon ride reservations will be accepted in the order they are received. We cannot guarantee ride availability, or that your entire party will be able to ride in the same balloon. Once you have submitted a reservation request and we ARE able to accommodate your request, you will receive a request confirmation and payable invoice for your deposit of $175/person via email. You will then have 72 hours to pay your deposit to confirm your reservation. If we are NOT able to accommodate your reservation request we will communicate this via email and your name will be placed on a waitlist. If you are waitlisted and a ride becomes available, we will contact you via email and send an invoice for your deposit. You will then have 72 hours to pay your deposit and confirm your reservation. Once you have a confirmed ride reservation, there is a (1) week cancellation policy. Any cancellations received inside of (1) week from your scheduled flight will be charged in full at the time of cancellation. Hot air balloon passengers must be physically able to jump off a bench, cannot be pregnant, and cannot have certain pre-existing health conditions. Children must be at least 6 years old. All hot air balloon passengers will be required to sign a waiver of liability. Confirmed hot air balloon passengers must arrive at the balloon field by 6:00AM on the morning of their scheduled flight. If we cancel flights due to weather, we will do our best to reschedule. If we are unable to reschedule, we will refund your deposit. YOU MUST COME TO THE FIELD IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A REFUND IN THE EVENT OF FLIGHT CANCELLATION. Weather determinations are made at the balloon field on the morning of scheduled flights. No shows to balloon ride reservations will be charged in full. Phone calls, emails, or text messages inquiring about weather determinations will not be answered the morning of your scheduled flight.
