This was wonderful! A quick trip for a Christmas gift. I had no idea the teamwork involved in landing. It was fascinating. Our team was very knowledgeable and told us what to expect at every turn. They even adjusted our departure place to match the wind and give us a longer ride time. Will definitely go again.

Fun ride, great crew! This was our first hot air balloon ride and it was fantastic. We would definitely fly with Elevate NM again!

Very crammed balloon ride squeezing 8 of us in a small basket. Ride lasted about 40 minutes total and the landing was super rough crashing into a cement parking lot. Nice toast afterwards

We met the crew at 7am. Keisha and Justin were absolutely wonderful! They explained everything and made sure we felt safe! The real joy was the flight. Just an absolute dream of an experience. Gorgeous weather. And sunrise views.

We couldn't be happier with our first balloon ride! The level of care, attention and skill that Justin and Keisha provided made this such an unforgettable experience! Book it already! We went in mid December and its true, it gets warmer in the air, so we were comfortable! Note: Plan for wind, and have a backup date in mind. We had to be flexible and luckily it worked out, but it almost didnt...
