    The Rainbow Ryders hot air balloon ride was a wonderful experience. My friends and I truly enjoyed ourselves. We got to see the world in a different lens and it was amazing. Unfortunately, due to weather concerns, we missed the sunrise by a little bit, but I can appreciate that the safety of each passenger was their first priority. Our pilot Jesse N. was reassuring, kind, and thorough especially during take-off and landing. At the very end, we enjoyed a champagne toast! I would definitely recommend their company, and we will be booking again!

    The Rainbow Raiders team was very friendly, and the experience was excellent! You have to do this at least once in your life, and no matter your age, you feel quite safe. Excellent!
