Trending experiences, perfect to gift. At RedBalloon we believe that experiences are better than things. Because while things can age, experiences have a way of getting even better over time. Experiences connect us. They expand our minds and help us grow. Experiences are the memories we find ourselves repeating to our friends for years on end. The best part about experiences is that they don’t just live in our minds. They live in our hearts too. For good. Imagine being about to give that to someone. A gift that offers someone a new perspective on the world, like gliding gracefully through a sunrise in a hot air balloon. Or the gift of a Lamborghini ride that makes hearts race and forces people to remember that life is about feeling. Our curated experiences are the gifts that last forever. So next time you’re stuck looking for a gift, there’s a new and memorable experience for every occasion at RedBalloon.

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear the process was easy and that you were happy with the delivery and presentation.
The web site is misleading
The web site is misleading. In places it says collection available and then on the next page it is not. In some places it say vouchers available and the next page it needs to know a date. Confusing, frustrating and time wasting.

Booking dates not confirmed when purchased
I don't know if my booking dates have been accepted. It would have been 5 star if I could check that as I booked the accommodation

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear the booking process was easy and that you enjoyed the food and service.
Not worth the effort
Had a horrible time securing a hotel using my voucher.
Had to two hotels cancel immediately due to a mismatch on available dates between Red Balloon and the vendor.
Took a week of back and forth to get the voucher refunded each time.
After eventually getting a experience booked. The vendor demanded a $200 hold on my card which was never mentioned and th experience left much to be desired.
Overall not a great experience and would not recommend it

Hi Mike, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your booking and the delays in resolving the cancellations. We do recommend booking in advance as suppliers can book out ahead of time. We will also look into the security bond requirement with the supplier and ensure this information is clearly noted on the product page moving forward.
