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.

What a fantastic experience! Our pilot (Patrick) and the crew were professional and really made the experience enjoyable. Knowledgeable of the area and a sense of humor from the moment we arrived. I would highly recommend this company and wouldn’t hesitate to go again.

It took over an hour for the company to find a location that they could launch from. When we went to land, we were not able to and had to find another location, and literally crash landed from 800 feet, to an open field in someones back yard. We skidded and tipped at least three times and people were hurt on the landing. It was unnerving and I wouldnt do it again.

Hi Kathleen, we are very sorry to hear that your experience with us was not what you were expecting. We strive to provide each and every one of our passengers with a safe and memorable experience. To give a better understanding of the situation, we have multiple launch locations that we use each day depending on the wind direction and sometimes have to go further out where the weather is better for flight and while we know it isn’t ideal, we want to make sure our passengers have the best flight possible. With landing, it is always a possibility that the balloon will tip, with the weight of the balloon itself holding heat and becoming heavier than the basket and passengers. Our pilots go over the proper landing position to prevent any major injuries if the basket does tip. For this reason as well, we recommend all our passengers are comfortable with the following physical requirements: 1. can stand unassisted for the roughly one hour flight, 2. Can withstand an impact similar to jumping from a chair to the ground, and 3. can swing their legs up and over the side of the basket to get in. Again, we are very sorry that we were not able to give you the bucket list worthy experience you had hoped for.
