Managed to tick this one off the bucket list. It required and early rise in the morning as we had to be at Rainbow Riders office at 5.45 am and it was a 25 min drive from our accommodation. The experience was wonderful and the whole crew involved in the flight were good fun and yet professional. The flight lasted 64 min we travelled 9 miles and reached an altitude some 3,700 ft above ground level. Chris the pilot was very informative and the whole event was rounded off with a glass of fizzy wine following the flight. It was great fun.

Thanks for leaving us a review! Our sunrise flights may have an early meet time but they are 100% worth it. With the amazing views of Albuquerque and seeing the sunrise come up from that altitude, it is truly something to see! Chris is great at what he does and we hope that you enjoyed your time with him and his crew.

Had a wonderful time on our first hot air balloon ride. It was a little tighter in the basket then we anticipated, but still fun. Very smooth ride and great pilot!!
