Bucket list item! Took an unforgettable sunrise hot air balloon ride with Rainbow Ryders, Inc. Hot Air Balloon Co. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Our captain, Patrick, was fantastic—informative, funny, and most importantly, he got us up and down safely. We ended the ride with a mimosa toast, which was the perfect way to celebrate safe travels! 🥂 It was an amazing adventure with my best friend by my side—a moment we will never forget. My husband, who is scared to death of heights, said this was the best thing he has ever done. The entire team was absolutely amazing and did an awesome job of making us feel very comfortable from start to finish. We feel truly blessed for this experience. ❤️Highly recommend this experience!

This was a bucket list for both me and my BFF. They load you up in a huge passenger van and take you out in the desert early in the morning before sunrise. It was very interesting and amazing working with everybody in the company. Riding in a hot air balloon was amazingly so smooth and it felt like you weren’t even in the air. It was definitely an awesome experience that I am coming back and doing this again in October with my daughter. I would definitely recommend
