I can't say enough how much I recommend this company. I had never been in a hot air balloon before AND I am afraid of heights. Our pilot Randy and his crew took extra care to find the best and safest launch spot -- and his balloon is the biggest in the US so safety is his number one concern. Watching him calculate the winds and kick up dirt was almost worth the cost of the ride! Once we launched, the ride was smooth and absolutely incredible. I felt safe and even comfortable enough to look over the side to spot a coyote below! After landing, Randy recited a "balloonist's prayer" which was funny and sweet and we had a delicious champagne breakfast with fresh fruit, sausage, croissant and quiche!!! One of my favorite memories with my new husband so far. We even got a first-timer's certificate with our names on them! Thank you, Randy and Earl and crew!! You guys are the best!!!
