Well we waited about an hour at the launch site because the Captain was worried about the wind. Im no expert but couldnt feel anything. Other companies arrived. Let fly a pilot ballon and launched before our team even unloaded. No water no restrooms. Never achieved any real altitude. Max 1500ft. Most of the time 500-600. A lot of money to see wildlife on the ground up close. They pack you in tight. On the way back to our car at the airport they had to drop someone off on the way at their resort. That was a 1 hour drive. We're local. We met their van at 3:15. We didnt get home until 9 that nite.

I'm nervous about heights but this was easy. Well organized and planned several balls in on area we lifted off with feeling go being in an elevator Beautiful scenery over the desert and views of the cityscape I had idea of what it would be like but it was fun we landed safely and had a small snack and champagne very enjoyable and worth the experience

This was the THE highlight of our visit to Arizona. Their team was great and we learned a lot about the area as well as about ballooning from them. The weather was perfect. Do was our pilot - he was great. After we landed, the champagne toast and snacks were a great way to end off the day. I strong consider this a ā€˜must doā€™ activity when in the area!
