Incredible experience

5.00We are so happy that we chose this company to do the hot air balloon ride. Everything went so smooth from the driver, Joy, to the pilot, Don, and the drone operator, DeAndre. The ride was around 50 minutes which was really smooth and so peaceful! We absolutely loved every minute of it! We would highly recommend to pay the extra (on site) of the drone footage/pictures. DeAndre did an amazing job! Our pilot, Don, was fantastic! He told a lot of great stories and was so personable. The champagne breakfast was a great way to end the experience! We even got certificates for doing it!
Excellent experience, we...

Incredible Experience at the hands of Captain Bruce

5.00Wow. How can I describe my experience? In a word: Incredible. My partner and I scheduled the sunrise balloon ride in celebration of her birthday. Captain Bruce (who’s been flying hot air balloons since the 80’s) was quite the pilot, not only keeping us abreast of the maneuvers and happenings of the craft, but also adding anecdotal stories about the surrounding landmarks, regaling us with tales of past balloon excursions, sprinkling in the occasional joke or two and all around providing a wonderful experience from start to finish—capped off with a landing softer than baby hair
Great morning fun.

5.00The trip was wonderful. Our Captain/Pilot was very informative of what was going to happen and what we would see. There were no surprises. The stillness and quiet of the desert at sunrise was breathtaking. We could hear the coyotes barking in the distance. Breakfast was amazing. Even glass champagne glasses!! Great crew. Very accommodating. Would recommend this hot air balloon tour to anyone wanting a low-risk adventure!!!

4.00This experience flowed with ease, my husband has a fear of heights but was comfortable the entire time. Very surreal to be able to see so much of Arizona at once. My only gripe is how sensitive I was to the heat of the flame whenever it would blow to raise the balloon in my specific spot I was standing in (outmost corner) that I wouldn’t recommend. The breakfast was a nice touch and definitely recommend the ride from the hotel. Super convenient and friendly staff. They also took great pictures for us on our personal phones and offered a $40 package per person to get drone shots!
Great ride and views!

5.00This was a definite highlight of our trip to Phoenix. The flight was smooth, and enjoyable with a very knowledgable pilot. The sunrise view was breathtaking! The breakfast was as nice as is pictured in all the promos. And the danish was delicious! We highly recommend this experience and it is definitely worth every penny spent!

5.00My friends and I booked the sunrise ride on Saturday, 3/14 and we had an amazing time! All staff members were very nice and provided clear instructions (the check-in, the driver, and the pilot). Our van ride to the field and back went smoothly! A big thank you to Mike, who was an amazing pilot! He was so nice, funny, and knowledgeable! I can’t remember the driver’s name or the name of the other staff member who helped with the landing and breakfast were also great. I highly recommend this excursion!
