    First light!

    Fantastic experience!! Kevin is a really talented pilot, the whole crew and operation were super knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Breathtaking views, so calm and peaceful. Thanks so much guys, I'll definitely be back!

    My dad got me a hot air balloon ride for my birthday since it was on my bucket list. It was so much fun! We met super early and it was freezing, but the fire for the balloon helps warm you up while you're in the air. You're pretty cramped in with lots of people so you can't really move around a lot, but the views are gorgeous, and you get pictures during the whole ride from one of the other employees. The landing was so fun- got bumpy and we went on the side, and they waited until the last minute to warn us LOL. There was a little picnic after, too!

    Great day flying! It was a turnkey experience from pickup to drop off. Kevin our balloon pilot was great and the staff was fantastic. It was my first ballon flight and it exceeded my expectations.

    Ready to go after half hr of inflation

    Fun experience. First half was drifting over suburban sprawl, which felt a bit creepy looking down into yards from 500 ft albeit a bit after sunrise on a weekend. After that overhead, more open country over low ridge then along marvelous Santa Cruz river with birds and fishermen. Excellent piloting got us to the interesting sites on a rock steady platform that moved along at ~10 mph. We landed like Pathfinder on Mars without the airbags ... BAM, Bam, bam, bump, topple on side. We were well brief but it was still a wild few moments best experienced with eyes shut and ropes clenched. Sterile dirt field added to extraterrestrial illusion. Then time for mimosas. Super picture and video options, especially if one wanted to document cookie cutter housing, but eventually swooping scenes of semi wilderness that i frankly had anticipated more of. But obviously much more expansive/immersive than thru drone first-person goggles. If winds had been different, there were spectacular mountains abeam that we couldn't reach on this trip. Maybe you will, so roll the wind dice and find out! You won't regret the experience.

    The balloon ride was amazing and the sunrise was beautiful. Kevin was informative and answered our many question. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Kevin and his crew were amazing! From start to finish-everything was on point! Thank you for giving us a memory of a lifetime!

    The basket after our exciting landing!

    What an adventure. My husband planned this without me knowing so my expectations were nonexistent. We showed up to an ihop parking lot at 5:30am and were greeted by a man with a white van towing a giant basket. Cue the tears for me. So. Freaking excited. We drove about 15 minutes to a school field and the set up began. The wind was a bit strong so we were worried for a bit that it wasn't going to happen, but we climbed in the basket bucking bronco style and we were off!! Because of the wind, we stayed low and it was quite alright with me! We went over lots of houses, which wasn't super impressive, but the flight was wonderful. Our pilot was great. Answered all our questions and made it fun. Our landing was nuts, but he warned us and prepared us. We did a couple hops, then tipped and slid 120 ft. Haha. It was crazy and absolutely amazing. We ended our time with brunch in the park. Highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to go up in a balloon in Tucson!

    Still planning a second trip! I will probably go in the spring or early summer. Late fall was just a bit too cold.

    Kevin is knowledgeable and has a dry sense of humor which I love. The crew was friendly too. Scenery was beautiful. It was cold so wear hats and gloves.

    Brunch and mimosas

    See all
