    The staff were amazing! Earl was a great guide and super eccentric. I definitely recommend this ride.

    Scott, Earl, and the rest of the crew were incredible!! They were so organized and informative, not to mention they are all hilarious and super friendly! Captain Scott took us through the mountains and we got to see some wild burros on our ride. At the end, we got a delicious little breakfast with mimosas. I would recommend this company over other hot air balloon companies, Captain Scott and the crew make it personal, scenic, and memorable!

    When I say amazing and once in a lifetime I mean it! This was so fascinating and fun! The staff were super friendly and really made this experience so memorable for me. Be prepared to get up early so if you aren't in the best mood early in the morning maybe you shouldn't pick this. However if you want to experience this once in your life book with this company. From the meet up, to the inflation, to the flight, to the landing and breakfast after it was a perfect morning.

    I'm not going to lie, I am truly terrified of heights and had anxiety for weeks knowing that it was inevitable going on a hot air balloon ride. I must say that my tensions were eased and rather quickly. Staff were knowledgeable and the pilot was great and had fun stories to share in flight. Overall, 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    Finally marked this off my bucket list. Transportation left on time to go to flight location. Smooth flight. Beautiful scenery. Decent breakfast and they even had souvenirs for purchase. Highly recommend!

    This was my first time riding in a hot air balloon. Our pilot, Scott, was knowledgeable and friendly. He kept us safe, and we had a very smooth takeoff and landing. Earl was our driver. He communicated well, had a great personality, and I loved his voice (he sounds like a cartoon character) it was beautiful and serene, calm and zen being up in the air. I had an amazing time.

    The crew!!!

    This was an AMAZING experience. Scott and crew were ALL so friendly. It was awesome seeing how they all work together and Mel, let's just say it looked like the guys were trying to keep up with her. Homegirl held her own and did it with ease. This is something you must experience if interested, not scary AT ALL. Some moments you feel as if you're not even moving. Sis and I would both do it again and again. Amazing company, staff was EVERYTHING!

    Decided to check off a buckle list item to start off the new year and so glad I went with these guys. All of the crew members were awesome but I have to give a special shootout to Earl. His energy, his passion, his personality was EVERYTHANG. Not only does this business have the world's largest hot air balloon ride in the Western Hemisphere that can hold up to 28 people, they allowed us to take photos in the hot air balloon, were willing to take photos for everyone and were just very welcoming. I refuse to try another hot air balloon ride business after getting such quality and top notch service. They even provide champagne and breakfast upon landing and gave us all a cool certificate. I absolutely can not praise these guys enough. If this is something you have always wanted to do, do it here!!

    What an experience!!

    Omgggg what an experience!!! I can't express how great pilot Scott abs his crew were!! The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Once we arrived at the launch site the crew went to work in unloading the balloon and basket. You never really know how much work goes into this until you see it first hand. The balloon itself is massive, scaling at 10 stories high. The largest balloon in the US! The crew gave us a brief overview of the history of hot air balloons which was so interesting. The takeoff was so smooth and once we were in the air you couldn't hear a thing. It was so quiet and peaceful. The views were unbelievable!!! Pilot Scott took his time explaining how he dies what he dies and how long he's been on the industry. Once we landed we were greeted with ceremonial champagne toast and complimentary breakfast. This experience will go down in the books!!!

    In the balloon!

    This was hands-down the most incredible experience. I've done one other hot air balloon ride before and this one I would pick over the other time and time again. Just a note - this is the largest hot air balloon in the western hemisphere, that should tell you something from the start! The entire experience from start to finish was nothing short of incredible. The entire team was so friendly and knowledgeable, and incredible the whole time. I am NOT a fan of heights, but the ride itself is so peaceful and amazing, you cannot even tell you are up in the air (unless you look straight down, which I did end up doing - worth it!) The whole scenario after the ride just kept the experience going - champagne popping in the desert and an entire prayer said devoted to ballooning. I even had a special request to keep the champagne cork to add to my collection back home, and one of the team turned the cork into a hot air balloon! What a special keepsake and moment for me to remember. Hands down, book with this crew, they know what's up and how to make this special.

    From start to finish, Earl, Randy and the entire team was amazing. The team was very safe by watching the winds before take off. The flight and landing was incredibly smooth. After landing, the team brought out tables with a full breakfast and champagne. They even sage happy birthday to my girlfriend. Would highly recommend!!!

    3 million BTU's of fire!

    From beginning to end, this was a fabulous experience! Every crew member was so nice and some had a great, animated sense of humor (Earl). I was in awe watching the balloon fill up. The size was incredible...100 feet high! Pilot Randy did a great job and had some fun facts and stories to share as we floated over the valley. Learning about old time traditions added to the experience. Champagne brunch at the end was quite tasty and a pleasant surprise. If you haven't done this yet, don't let the opportunity pass you by.

    They "redeemed " my voucher even though I called in advance to try and cancel because I had a family emergency come up. At that time there website has no explanation for having to cancel / refund or how much time you have to cancel. Groupon, who I purchased the voucher through, was also no help. Thank you for stealing my $250!

    Forever and a day ago, we attended this event with family but honestly can't remember how that…read morewent. Last weekend, we attended this festival for the first time as parents and were pleasantly surprised. We have two toddlers who seemed to have a blast! There were so many inflatables so my older child (3) was ecstatic. We had gone to another event in Scottsdale recently that only had a few inflatables, which caused very long lines - which is not ideal with impatient kiddos. This was so much better! Lots of food trucks/vendors to choose from for every palate. We got there shortly after the event started so we got to see a lot of the hot air balloons being set up. You can walk to each one to collect candy. With my little ones being so young, I just had to go up to a few to trick-or-treat for the experience. Some would have no lines and others would have 20+ people waiting. Not sure what I was missing. Maybe it was the lighting? It was dark around some of the hot air balloon baskets that were centered in the field as well. Wish there was some sort of lighting to help others see that they could go up to those. They had fun just watching and dancing around them. The countdown to all of the hot air balloons lighting up was very enjoyable for us all. Some families had blankets laid out or fold-up chairs to relax while their kids had fun around. Noted for next year!

    Came here with me and my girlfriend and the kids. They loved it!…read moreThey loved seeing the hot air balloons inflate, and they loved all the inflatable attractions there! One even asked to come back. Sorry bud, but gotta wait till the next holiday lol
