I highly highly recommend! My mom got the trip for me and my boyfriend as a combined birthday gift and it was absolutely the most incredible gift you could ask for. The pilot and crew were beyond helpful and made our trip so amazing. They explained every step of the process, made it a very hands on experience, and were some of the nicest funniest people we've ever met. It was super cool getting to not only ride in the largest hot air balloon in the entire United States but to also go inside the balloon during inflation and help prepare the balloon for our launch. What a perfect hands on experience. The pilot was very nice and helpful as well. He pointed out landmarks during the ride, told us cool facts about the area and the balloon itself, and was happy to tell us stories and answer an questions we had during the flight. The crew was just as awesome. In the early morning, when we were looking for the perfect launch site, they told stories and explained many safety measures being taken so we understood why we were about to launch in certain sites and not others, depending on the wind and weather of the day. We cannot emphasize enough the attention to detail all the people of the company had to making our experience the best it could be. You won't be sorry. Best life experience yet.
