5.00We had a very nice experience on this Hot air balloon trip...very calm and pretty flight, over the desert. My wife and I even spotted a Cyote running through the desert! After our landing, we were served a nice breakfast with mimosas! A nice touch!
Wonderful way to spend your birthday!

5.00We had a great time celebrating my husband’s 30th birthday! Earl, Scott and the rest of the crew created an amazing atmosphere. The breakfast and champagne toast was icing on the cake. Everyone was hospitable, friendly and we stayed in the air longer than the other hot air balloon that took off at the same time as us. 10000/10 would recommend everyone to book this company!
Fantastic First Time

5.00It’s not scary at all. Quiet morning ride- little cramped up but still had some space to wiggle around. Nice people and workers

5.00It was a very well run experience! Everything was organized in the staff was very cheerful and friendly. We had great weather on our flight and incredible views! I also really appreciated how the pilot explained how to operate the balloon… And aiming for landing places direction. It was a great experience. :)
