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.

Awesome experience ! Great crew of professionals. Our pilot had 30 years experience and over 4400 hours of flight time, which put me a ease. Things to know…Pls keep in mind that you will have to climb into and out of the basket. Also keep in mind space is very tight…unless you have a private ride, there may be as many as 12 people plus the pilot in the basket.

We are so glad you enjoyed your flight! Ou pilots are very experienced and have to go through a lot of flight training before they fly passengers. We hope to see you again!

What a wonderful experience!! We had Captain Morgan and he was so informative and so excited to be doing what he does. The whole team was so kind and helpful! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I am 68 years old and was a little worried about getting in and out of the basket but they were so kind and helpful! I would do it again in a heartbeat!! Thank to you Captain Morgan for running a tight ship!!
