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 windā€™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.

Alfred Salazar was our very capable pilot. This ride was so much fun, peaceful and exciting at the same time. Alfred gave us a splash and dash in the Rio Grande, although we didn't get our feet wet at all. For me, this was 2nd only to skydiving for a thrilling experience.
