My family and I have never done this before and we were all nervous. Elijah and the flight crew were professional and informative, and kept us safe and secure! We didn’t experience any turbulence and the landing as as gentle as could be.

A wonderful experience!!! DO NOT MISS IT!! Alfred, our pilot, was both professional and personable. He provided our group with information and details on every step prior to the balloon ride. Admittedly, I had arrived with a case of pre flight jitters. Alfred's demeanor, obvious skill and experience immediately set my mind at ease! I enjoyed every second of the ride. Alfred answered all questions and provided lots of information during the flight. The on ground crew members were very helpful and amazing as well. THANK YOU ALL for checking this off my bucket list!

We drove in from Austin, TX making a stop before Moab. I surprised my family with a sunrise balloon ride and I can’t even begin to tell you what an amazing experience this was. From take off to landing our guide, Alfred, was amazing. He made us feel super comfortable with our first trip. This was a once in a lifetime experience for all of us with memories to last a lifetime. We will be back for sure. Thank you Rainbow Ryder’s and Alfred for making this day so perfect!

It was so beautiful and serene up in the air. My friend was apprehensive et first, but even she loved the experience. It ended in a champagne toast. What a great way to start the day.
