Canyonlands Ballooning

· Moab, UT

Why you should go…

Canyonlands Ballooning offers daily sunrise hot air balloon flights near Moab, meeting about 15 miles north of town close to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Guests are shuttled by 4WD to the launch site and typically fly for about an hour, viewing sandstone formations, desert towers and wildlife from the air. The company, led by an FAA pilot, pioneered hot air ballooning in the Moab area in 2008.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
