Just spent a fabulous morning hot air ballooning over north Phoenix and the desert. Our pilot, Tommy, was wonderful along with his crew, Nick. They were top notch and made our experience so much fun. It is an early start but well worth getting up a little early to watch the sunrise over the mountains from high in the sky. Once you arrive at the launch site, you see them inflate the balloon and watch the crew in action get ready for flight. We then took off and Tommy was great in explaining how the balloon worked, pointed out things to see on the ground, etc... best of all, he made me feel really safe and I am scared of heights !!! It is incredibly smooth and almost like you are not moving at all. After we landed, we were served a delicious breakfast and toasted with champagne !! Such a fun morning and I would suggest using Hot Air Expeditions as they made this experience for us fantastic. If you can, request Tommy and Nick :)

We are so glad you were able to get up so early and that you didn't let your fear of heights miss such a wonderful trip. I agree, it's like you are just floating along. It's magical watching the balloons come to life. We thank you for your kind words and we hope that you will go flying with us again.
