The hot air balloon ride was beautiful this morning and even better when my love popped the question! The ride started later than we wanted though since we were hoping to see the sunrise in the air. All in all though, it was a great time!

Hi there, Thank you for flying with us and for the great feedback :) What a special way to celebrate such a lifetime experience! Unfortunately we aren't able to actually fly at the time of Sunrise because we do need to light of the sun to take off for the day. We hope to see you up, up, and away again soon.

This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done and I was able to share it with family and friends. I had a girls weekend for my 45th birthday and this balloon ride was a surprise event for my guests. I was always scared to ride a hot air balloon because I just knew it was like riding a plane with turbulence but that is so not true. This ride was so tranquil. The crew was amazing, pilot Tommy and his driver Jonathon. They were friendly, on time, funny, and very professional. Tommy thank you for having all the passengers sing happy birthday to me at 5000 ft. The brunch was delicious and the mimosas. I will definitely take this adventure with my little girl soon. Again, thank you hot air expedition for making my birthday weekend a hit!!!!
