We had a wonderful time this morning with Rainbow ryders. We had no idea how humongous the balloons really were. The whole thing was a big well orchestrated operation. Our pilot, Alan, had 27 years of ballooning experience. He gave us lots of interesting information & made it fun for us. The ride itself was peaceful. There were times we were drifting & times we were going so slow we felt suspended in the air. All so enjoyable on a beautiful day. I had read about really bumpy landings & I was concerned. It was a little bumpy but nothing concerning. Our pilot even landed us on a dirt road for pickup. We got up at 3am & was there before the 4:30 am requirement. About 5am, We rode in a van about 20 minutes to a bare field. There are no bathrooms there. We waited awhile until the wind conditions were favorable. Patience is required. Everything depends on the wind & weather. There are times that they need to cancel, so we were fortunate. It was the only day we were in town to celebrate our grand daughters college graduation. It was a wonderful thing to do. We throughly enjoyed it & would recommend this company.

It was fantastic from start to finish. What an amazing sight! 6 hot air balloons all inflating at the same time! And the tranquility that you feel when up in the air. Loved it!

Awesome experience. If this is on your bucket list, this is a great company to work with. From arrivals to office, to drive to launch site, the ride itself all so professional. Jesse R. Was our pilot. He was very experienced and very professional and very knowledgeable of what we could see. I was a little nervous as we launched but he made us all feel so comfortable. He invited our 2 boys (14 & 13 ) to help set up abs hold the balloon while the air was blown in! The views at sunrise were beautiful. He was very clear on how the landing would work and it was seemless. They had drinks for us on landing and snacks when we got back to the office. Great experience over all!
