What a great way to start the day. Don't miss out on this adventure, sailing over the Arizona dessert in the early morning. The day begins at 5am, gathering with fellow flyers ready to be whisked off to the launch site where you watch as your balloon is inflated.
Fifteen of us climbed into the basket of a 420-cubit foot balloon piloted by Tommy. In his expert hands we rose majestically into the air to a height of 7200 feet, then falling slowly down 'til we almost touched the tips of the giant saguaros, then up again.
The views across the mountains and Lake Pleasant were spectacular, the landing gentle. And to finish the experience off, breakfast was served al fresco, right where we landed in the desert. Tommy and Nick, our other crew member and driver, escorted us to cloth-draped tables where we were served quiche and fruit with a glass of sparkling wine. Lovely.

We are so pleased to know that you had such a wonderful experience with Hot Air Expeditions, Pilot Tommy and Crew Chief Nick. When we hear such stories, as yours, we know that we are doing our best to give our passengers the most wonderful experience we can. Even with the temperatures being on the warm side at sunrise, it is such an amazing experience. We hope that you will come again to go up, up and away with Hot Air Expeditions.
Thank you.
