Due to our mistake they rose above and beyond to accommodate us. The owners and staff were very personable and informative. Treated us like family. The pilot, BJ, was adapt at all the wind changes and showed/explained to us the beautiful landscape of Albuquerque. It was an amazing and lifetime experience.

This one wants six stars! Ultimate treat and experience of a lifetime. Special from the moment of pickup to the final champagne toast. Also hats off to hosts Justin and Keisha, pilot JB and ground crew make you feel like you're their unique flying companions even though they've been at it for years. Cannot recommend more highly.
Smooth flying!

Great experience. The operators put safety first and were very knowledgeable about the area we were flying over. They kept us up to date on potential weather impacts, so there were to surprizes and answered all of our questions about the balloon. The landing was soft and the story of the first balloon flight was very entertaining. This was my niece's first balloon flight, and she loved it. They also took pictures and sent them to us afterwards and provided us with our flight path including elevation througout the flight,
Amazing Morning…. Would do again the same way.

Our private hot air balloon ride was truly exceptional from start to finish. Everything was perfectly scheduled, from the morning check-in to the launch and landing. What stood out the most was the crew’s extensive knowledge. Justin, our pilot, skillfully navigated the balloon while sharing fascinating insights about ballooning and the surrounding landscape. It was evident that we were in the hands of true professionals who are passionate about their work. Most importantly, safety was their top priority. Every detail, from pre-flight checks to landing protocols, was handled with care and precision. This flight was more than just a ride; it was an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a breathtaking, safe, and well-organized hot air balloon experience.
