Like floating in the clouds!
My daughter & I did this ride together. Truly amazing experience! Our pilot, Troy, a fourth generation balloonist, was extremely knowledgeable & shared a wealth of interesting info about ballooning. Views were incredible & flight unbelievably peaceful. Felt like floating. And the landing was so soft I barely realized we were on the ground! Don’t think twice, do it!!!

Great, but the time in the air did not match the time advertised
Great experience, especially going up with other balloons going up at the same time as it was beautiful! Just a note though that the booking stated that it was for 3+ hours, but it is a one hour flight only.

Four Corners Hot Air Balloons
If you’re like us, you’ve now read 50 of these reviews. We feel especially grateful that we found an experienced company like Four Corners. It’s obvious, their depth of knowledge, experience, and plain “we’ve done this before” was especially evident. We felt incredibly safe from beginning to end. Great communication – great service – great pilot… who (by the way) landed the balloon exceptionally well, and knew exactly where he wanted to land.We’d recommend this company to you wholeheartedly – so glad we chose them!

Up, Up and Away!
This was an amazing experience! If I had one super power, I would want to fly like a bird, and this comes very close! Our pilot Troy is a fourth generation balloonist who, with a co-pilot, has crossed both the Atlantic and the Pacific in a hot air balloon. You could not be in better hands! He is friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

Must-do activity when visiting Albuquerque. Especially if you miss the International Balloon Festival every October. The crew was informed and engaging. Champagne toast at the end. Wish the flight was longer. Amazing time!

Private Hot Air Balloon Rides in Albuquerque
davidwV7355SJ, Nov 2025
Peaceful private ride
Both the pilot and the ground crew were awesome! None of us had ridden in a hot air balloon before and they were careful to explain the whole process. We got a little history lesson on Albuquerque as we flew down the river. The smaller basket allowed our party of 4 to enjoy a private ride without being packed in like sardines. We even got a champagne toast at the end of the trip. It was just amazing! Even though someone in our party struggles with motion sickness, the ride was super smooth and extremely peaceful and did not affect her at all.
