It was great experience. Very smooth and lovely ride. Buetifull sunrise 🌅 . Lovely breakfast after with sip of mimosa was a great touch.

What a great experience! We brought our two grandsons (9 and 11) for a sunrise balloon ride. Scott, our hot air balloon extraordinaire, was amazing. The information he provided as we drifted over mountains and valleys was wonderful. The hot air balloon ride went off without a hitch, and the views were amazing!

It was an amazing beautiful day! The pilots and crew were amazing, the breakfast was delicious and they set it up fancy. It was also educational, which was a great bonus! We would totally recommend doing this and would love to do this again in the future. Definitely a must on a to do list!

Hot air balloons are such a serene experience and this was my first ride. It did not disappoint. I was surprised that we had to climb into the gondola vs. a door, but was glad I was able to do it. The crew was so much fun after our ride, setting up breakfast and packing up the balloon. Wear a sweatshirt, but plan on taking it off when in the balloon as the fire can get quite hot.

The sunset was great. Be prepared for the temperature to be much warmer higher up, and the fire obviously creates a lot of heat that you can definitely feel. Just dress accordingly!

Scott was our pilot and he was very knowledgeable and funny, prepared us for landing and made it smooth. The flight was absolutely magical and indescribable

The whole trip was fantastic. We met on the parking lot as planned and left on time! Our driver was funny and gave us a little show on the way. The ballon was beautiful and the operator was knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was an egg patty, sausage and croissant and a few champagne mimosas. There wasn't any wind and our landing was perfect. If I could change one thing I would have like to be going up as the sun was rising.

It was amazing the overall location I wasn't too thrilled about as I seen was dirt but the whole experience with just being up in the hot air balloon was awesome I wish there was a better view I guess what I would say is if you live in Arizona go someplace else to do the hot air balloon ride maybe even Sedona somewhere else
