It was more than I’d hoped for! I’d wanted to do a hot air ballon ride for most of my life. On my 64th birthday I had an amazing flight with Rainbow Riders! Thank you.

We selected Rainbow Ryders for our hot air balloon experience and they did not disappoint! Upon arrival our check in process was smooth, quick and only had to wait about 10 minutes before getting into our shuttle. Once in the shuttle it was about 10-15 minute drive to the launch site and our driver explained things along the way while allowing us to ask any questions. At the launch site we waited in the van for a little bit (maybe a few minutes, not long at all) while the balloon and basket were unloaded. We then got off the shuttle and watched the process of preparing the balloon. This is really neat to watch everyone work together to get the balloon up and running. Once it was determined that everything was set and safe we were loaded into our basket (there was a step stool for us shorter people) and the guides offered to take our pictures from outside the basket. Our pilot/captain was Patrick and he was really awesome! He was funny, told great stories, and gave us really great information about ballooning/his experiences and the areas were were flying over. Patrick prepared us for our landing by making sure we were all hanging onto the handles since our basket would most likely tip on it's side as we land; we did tip but nothing scary or rough, we just had to lean on our travel partner or the back of the basket (this was probably the funniest part of the whole experience, tipping and landing!). After we landed we were served champagne and/or OJ while having a toast. I have always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride and I'm so glad we went with Rainbow Ryders! They are so friendly and personable and made the experience everything I hoped it would be. I would definitely ride with them again and highly recommend them, and if you can get Patrick as your captain he's awesome!

Best experience! Rainbow Ryders had the best customer service and was truly so amazing! Our pilot was Jessie Newcommers and he was honestly the best, as well as his ground crew. Everyone was so sweet and friendly! My friends and I had the bets experience and it honestly felt like you were on top of the world. Highly recommend everyone to experience a hot air balloon ride! Definitely plan on returning back to try their sunset hot air balloon ride. I felt completely safe. Every employee and staff member were wearing a mask and they had mini hand sanitizers for all the guests.
