What To Expect

Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon

Rise early to begin your hot-air balloon experience. Stop into the office for check-in, then ride to the balloon launch site (which varies day-to-day depending on weather). Your pilot begins the process of inflating the balloon when you arrive. You can even help out the crew during the inflation process for a more hands-on experience. As you float high above the ground, enjoy incredible birds-eye views of the Rio Grande Valley. Your pilot determines the route for the day depending on the wind’s direction. You may fly over the city of Albuquerque and even dip low enough to wave at people or skim the Rio Grande River. Throughout your flight, your pilot shares informative commentary about the landscape beneath you. After approximately one hour in the air, your pilot lands the balloon and the ground crew comes to meet you. Celebrate your flight with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and a commemorative flight certificate before returning to the original starting point.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. It was a really unique experience to get to float around on the hot air balloon surrounded by mountains.

Early wake-up, but TOTALLY WORTH IT. Alfred and his team provided a seamless, breathtaking experience and one you will not soon forget. Just watching the process of transporting the gear, prepping the balloon and getting aloft is worth the price of admission alone. Tremendous!!
