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.

We had an amazing time with Alfred as our pilot and Frank and JB as the crew. We felt safe, had the kids help, educated us on the ride and even dipped us in the Rio Grande! The crew was amazing, kind and timely! We have hot air ballooned in other cities and countries and this ride was one of the best!

Alfred, Frank and KB were the best! Had such an incredible flight and got to splash n dash in the Rio Grande. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Great experience. Saw a lot of the New Mexico terrain and even saw a coyote chasing a jackrabbit from the air. It was beautiful. My only complaint is that we launched after sunrise so didn't really get a sunrise launch. Pilot was funny and we had a good time. Don't know if it's worth the money but I still enjoyed the experience.

We are so glad you enjoyed your flight! Unfortunately for safety reasons we cannot take off in the dark, so we do have to wait until the sunrise begins to take off. Watching wildlife from the air is so entertaining. We hope to see you again!
