We were asked by another couple to go up in a balloon ride and we reluctantly accepted. After speaking with our captain, Craig, we felt as though we were in great hands. Easy takeoff, easy landing and floated effortlessly through the air, what an experience! When our kids come down to visit, we are going to take them on this ride.

Hello Brad, Isn't it wonderful trying something totally different? And, you were, indeed, in capable hands with Pilot Craig. Floating over our beautiful desert is an experience, we so agree! We look forward to the flight that you will be sharing with your kids. Thank you for taking the time to write review, it is greatly appreciated.

We had a great time with Craig K as our pilot and Kyle as our crew chief. If you have never been on a hot air balloon ride the desert is a fantastic place to do it. My husband and I had never been on one so we thought our trip to AZ would be the perfect time. Note: Schedule your ride for early in your trip. Our originally date/time was canceled due to weather and we were able to reschedule for the night before we left. If you schedule early you have more chances to hit a good day. The ride was amazing. It is so quiet up there. Our captain was very knowledgeable and made everyone fill safe and comfortable. We rode with 11 other people but the basket did not feel too cramped through we were certainly not spread out by any means. The apps and champagne toast after were a perfect way to end our trip. Very glad we did this and picked this company to do it with.

Hello! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Pilot Craig, Kyle and the crew. Our desert is a wonderful place to take a hot air balloon flight, we could not agree more. It is difficult to imagine how quiet and peaceful floating in a balloon is, until you do it. Your experience is why we all do what we do. Thank you for flying with us and taking the time to share your thoughts. Cheers

This was our first hot air balloon experience. Captain Craig and Crew Chief Steven made the ride relaxing and memorable. From the time of check in, to our landing, we were treated with professionalism. You will have a great time and fond memories.
