What To Expect
Begin your adventure by meeting your crew just north of Phoenix about 30 minutes before sunrise for this 4-hour experience. Take a short van ride to the launch area for this scenic flight. After you arrive, experience the inflation of the balloon by motorized fans as it grows to an enormous 11 stories tall. Once the envelope is filled with air, the propane burners are ignited to heat the air inside. It takes about thirty minutes before you are ready for flight. Join your pilot in the hand-crafted, oversized wicker basket with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy an approximate 45-minute ride. As you takeoff, admire how light the balloon feels. During the flight, you have an unobstructed view to take excellent photographs. Upon landing you are greeted with flutes of champagne and breakfast. First-time riders will be treated to the legendary ceremony that balloonists all over the world have been sharing for more than two centuries.

5.00Excellent balloon flight with a smooth A landing! It’s an early start, and passengers have to climb in and out of the basket, and stand the entire flight. It’s so tranquil in the air, and the champagne toast and flight certificate are a nice touch!
It was a wonderful...

5.00This wasn't on our bucket list but it is now. Great crew and pilot. It was enjoyable watching them set up the ballon and putting it away. So quiet in the sky. Great learning about and feeling the wind currents at different elevations and how they can steer the balloon. My wife is afraid of heights but she had no problem. If you can go. Go.

Pilot and crew are very experienced, well-rehearsed and nice. The flight was fantastic and the shared champagne breakfast afterwards a very good conclusion. 100 percent recommended.
