We really enjoyed this experience. The staff, especially Chris and Jonathon were exceptional. From the pick up to the drop off it was professional and very organized. The champagne and appetizers served while the sun is setting is wonderful. Definitely recommend this.

Such an incredible experience. I was a little nervous (well a lot nervous) but our pilot was great. This was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Don't miss the opportunity to float peacefully above the desert.

Hello Laura, We feel the best way to view our beautiful Sonoran Desert is floating high above it in one of our gentle giants. Good for you for tackling your fears. We're so happy to hear you had an amazing experience. Thank you for choosing Hot Air Expeditions for your adventure!

It was totally awesome! Except it was very difficult to climb in and of the basket.... The pilot was great, the views were beautiful. I have always loved the desert.
