I have always wanted to do this. Afraid of heights I was concerned about being able to fully enjoy the experience. I was assured I would not be bothered by the height as the balloon rises slowly. This was absolutely accurate. Even at 2700 feet looking out I was perfectly fine. I never felt unsafe and it was obvious safety was of the utmost priority. It was such a smooth and quiet ride, due I'm sure to the expertise of the pilot. I loved the floating and whooshing of the fire. I was amazed at the effort and manpower this activity required from getting the balloons and equipment out to the desert, balloons inflated and then packed up. The crew are in constant communication with the pilot regarding the landing and picking the right spot. This is a well organized group. Enjoyed the post ride champagne breakfast (mimosa's too!). Appreciated the table cloths, warm quiche and real champagne glasses, not plastic! I would have liked to fly further, but we were at the mercy of the wind. Maybe next trip! I would definitely do again. Also I was staying in downtown Phoenix without a car and Hot Air Expeditions picked me up at my hotel (for a small fee). Not all do this and was greatly appreciated.
