So happy with every aspect of the experience from check in to the flight itself. I don’t have another ballooning experience to compare it to but I would definitely ride with Rainbow Ryders again. The experience was fun, learned a lot, and overall well executed. The champagne toast at the end was a nice touch! Pro tip: I think it’s best to be the last into the basket if you want to be furthest away from the heat and have 180 degree views. Or first in so you’re closest to the pilot and can chat about the experience. Went in Feb and it’s cold in the mornings. Dress in layers and you’ll be fine. Air temp is close to ground temps. This should not deter you at all, but the breakfast provided at the office wasn’t great but you’re not going for the bagels. Get yourself to Rainbow Ryders and love every minute!

I took my husband on the sunrise ballon ride from Phoenix as a surprise for his birthday. The Rainbow Ryders crew was awesome and even hanged a sign that said happy birthday on our basket. The champagne and breakfast at the end was a nice unexpected surprise. I highly recommend doing this with them :)
