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.

My husband and I flew with Damien (and Doug), and they were amazing!! They had us laughing and having a good time all morning. We are from out of town and happened to stumble across Rainbow Ryders and I couldn’t have asked for a better time. The take off and flight were so smooth and we ended up landing on the golf course, which made for great scenery. After the flight we had a champagne toast and breakfast pastries. Damien and Doug gave us awesome facts about the city and some must do things in the town. We will be back!! Thank you both for an unforgettable time!

We (5 of us) went on our ride with Dean Donley in Albuquerque. He really was fun, funny and a delight but mostly his confidence and obvious experience in handling the balloon - which was enormous - made us all feel so calm and thrilled to be doing this bucket list adventure. It was a terrific joy filled morning. Thank you Dean and team.
