What To Expect

Sonoran Desert National Monument

During your hour-long flight over the famous Sonoran Desert, you will have a 360-degree view no matter where you stand in the basket. The pilot will be your tour guide in the sky, explaining what you are looking at, how far you are going and how high you are ascending. Upon landing, you will be greeted with a celebratory toast (a tradition dating back to the 1800's) and each passenger will receive a commemorative flight certificate. Once the balloon is packed up and all passengers are ready to go, the pilot and crew will bring you back to the check-in point where you can purchase souvenirs to commemorate your aeronautical adventure. A great experience to check off your Bucket List!

Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon Ride Co.

Upon meeting at the check-in office, your pilots and crew will transport you to the launch site location, where you will have the option to become hands-on and help the crew or take in the view as the gentle giant comes to life. Before loading into the basket, the pilot will conduct a safety briefing, so make sure to listen carefully! Then you are up, up and away into the beautiful Arizona sky.

At 54 years young I experienced my first hot air balloon ride. The experience was amazing. Our pilot was Jeff Gillem who made this experience extra special with making me feel real comfortable with all the knowledge he shared. Being 5300 ft high in the air I felt like a bird high in the sky. Our group of 17 was have such amazing fun and laughter. We were able to see our creator's beauty all around. Don't think twice about taking a hot air balloon ride. JUST DO IT!! It's an experience you will never forget. Once the ride was over we were provided with champagne and recited the Irish Balloonist Prayer. Just loved it all!

Excellent experience. Patrick could not have been more knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. Would highly recommend this company. We had numerous balloons take off at the same time and was great experience with 8-10 balloons in the air at the same time. Could not have asked for a better adventure. Loved it!!!!
