Top Phoenix Hot Air Balloon Rides

I give this experience a 1000/10 the tour guide was so knowledgeable and made me feel extremely safe. I don’t even like heights but wanted to experience it and I’m glad I did. The views was amazing

This was my second time going on the sunrise hot air balloon tour! Both experiences were great. First time solo, second time with a friend. Ironically, I had Pilot Morghan Chando for both times I had a tour. He made the experience great! Friendly and professional. The entire staff was amazing as well. Would recommend this company for hot air balloon ride.

The ride was smooth and Capt. Jesse had the Balloon always under control. The land crew were experts professionals and complemented the Capt very well.

It was amazing till the beginning from the end. I am very scared of heights but this was nothing! It was peaceful. The guides and the ppl there were very operational and fast. The breakfast after is very cute I loved it because of the history. Everything was amazing but I think it’s too expensive for what it is. I paid 200$ per person and I think it could’ve been between 100 and 150. We still loved even the certification at the end! Thank you so much!

This experience was tailor made for us & highlighted that our pilot Shane is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. The crew was timely for arrival & loading up together to find our take off spot. Shane explained every step of the process to find a good spot. He emphasized how important the his was for safety reasons & built rapport and trust right at the start. Once we found a good spot, he explained how everything would work & he & his crew worked quickly to get everything set up. We loaded into the basket & Shane noticed a safety hiccup with his balloon lines & asked everyone to unload and he restarted his entire process (deflating the balloon, readjusting the line, then reinflating the balloon for our ride), which took 30+ minutes. Our group had no problem with this because we wanted safety first. Within a short time we were able to reload the basket & we were in the air before the sunrise which was a pleasant reward, as we thought we might miss it due to the line issue. Shane shared lots of facts about the area throughout our ride, made some jokes, interacted with the group, etc. His skill continued to show as we navigated flying wherever the wind took us, despite some areas being very little wind to guide us. He continually communicated with his crew on the ground, updating them on our location so they could meet us wherever we landed. We experienced some cool things up in the air, choosing a landing spot, then needing to change it at the very last second. Super cool flying low over a grocery store lol & then to top it all off, the ceremonial champagne toast with the backstory included was phenomenal. Thank you Shane & crew, would highly recommend. Pack your patience and just be in the moment. You’re in great hands.

Check prices with the vendor directly as sometimes have discounts. Even solo, you meet others and everybody gets a view - no fighting for best view. Bucket is much higher than expected so it's really not scary. 5500 feet. Even though we got up in the air later than other balloons, I think it was perfect for the sunrise. Our driver was great - been doing this since he was 12 years old! It's a serene experience - calm and everybody in basket talks (or you don't have to). Great pictures of sunrise, the desert, and of other ballons in the sky. It's great to see the ballon being prepped, feeling the heat of fire, and it being put away at end. Worth the early rise.

Had a wonderful ride. Was sceptical at first because of the height, but was very rewarding and the pilot was fun. Would go again.

The Hot Air Balloon ride far exceeded anything I could have ever imagined! Our Pilot McKenna was amazing and our Crew Chief Nate was so accommodating! We chose to be picked up at our hotel and from the moment Nate picked us up until the moment he dropped us off the whole experience was top notch and so much fun! We ended the flight with champagne & charcuterie and it was just amazing! The flight itself was so smooth from the moment we got in the basket til the moment we landed. Such a bucket list moment! I absolutely highly recommend using this company for your hot air balloon experience! I cant say enough great things about them!

Zach was an amazing pilot and absolutely loved his energy. He was dropping facts about the city and all. His set up crew were speedy and absolutely just as energetic as he was. Definitely will book again.

I really enjoyed the experience! It was definitely worth every dime. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and nice . Landing was a bit rocky but the experience was a 10/10 and I will be doing it again.

Such a fun experience, would go back and do it again, the pilot was very informative! The sunset was so beautiful, waking up extra early was worth the view!

It was one of the coolest things I've ever done! It's so peaceful. And smooth. It didn't feel like we were floating in a basket almost 8,000 feet in the sky! Kyle was a great pilot. He was funny and knowledgeable. This was a bucket list item for me and I'd definitely do it again sometime! It was fantastic!

It was nothing short of an experience . Tours guide energy was very postive , the guys that worked to get the air balloons up and take a part was the best ! Highly recommended

Perfect day for a ride. The staff was friendly, competent and well-informed. We received excellent instructions on how to enter and exit the basket and what to expect during landing. I wish we had gotten off a bit earlier as the sun was already up before we were aloft but once up the view was spectacular.

Phenomenal experience that cannot be put into words, has to be experienced...bucket list => check => just do it! Mike & Brandy C, China Twp Michigan US of A

We had a great time with Matt and Nate. Very informative and organized. Great views. Would recommend. Bubbly at the end a nice touch.
