This was our second hot air balloon ride with Rainbow Ryders. The pilot Patrick and crew were friendly, knowledgeable, humorous and very proficient. The trip over the desert approaching sunset was beautiful. Counted 7 jack rabbits and saw a coyote jump over a stream. Patrick kept the passengers informed of sights, answered questions, had all of us laughing and made sure any concerns we may have had were alleviated. At the end of the flight we were treated to mimosas, cheeses, fruit and sausages and the opportunity to share our experience. We highly recommend this excursion.
This was our first time in a balloon and it was terrific. Very experienced pilot who always put safety first. The sites were amazing and Craig and the entire crew were so polite and interesting. Craig had great knowledge of the entire area.
I am afraid of heights, but thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was very beautiful and peaceful. Views were fantastic. Our pilot, Patrick, was very informative. He also was very concerned about safety thus I wasn't worried. I will definitely consider flying again with them.
