Bucket List/50th Anniversary Present
What an amazing experience! I booked the balloon ride as a surprise for my husband for our 50th Anniversary and it worked out to do the ride on his birthday! I have to admit I hate flying, but after visiting with Damien when I booked the flight, he definitely put me at ease! I was worried about getting in and out of the balloon, but the crew was very kind and helpful! Pat was our pilot and was very knowledgeable, fun and loved listening to him! Smooth takeoff and landing, and it was so peaceful! Ended with a mimosas toast and snacks! We highly recommend the ride - memories to cherish forever!!

Taken to new heights!
Excellent experience, from take-off to landing! Everything went smoothly. Mezz and Mitch were a fun, engaging team who made our experience seamless. ABQ from a hot air balloon is magnificent! I appreciated how attentive to safety they were, especially since my 9 year old daughter was part of the excursion. Would absolutely recommend this company and hope to do this again someday!

Who says that traveling solo is not fun🙂
The travel agency kept in touch prior and on before the activity. The pilot (Johnny) picked me up and dropped me off (what a treat).With regards with riding the Hot Air Balloon, every each crew involved in setting up and depleting it were all friendly and hard working.No dull moments with our pilot (Johnny) who is knowledgeable and very entertaining.

We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather or a better pilot! Bill was incredibly welcoming and made the entire experience so enjoyable. We went up with a group of strangers, but by the end of the ride, it felt like we were all old friends. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to take it all in. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend Bill as your pilot. If you’re considering a hot air balloon ride, definitely book with Bill—you won’t be disappointed!

What a wonderful experience! This was a bucket-list adventure for us, and our captain, Jonathan, along with the rest of the crew, Nate and Nick (the “B Boys”), made it even better than I could have imagined.We met up at the expected time and were soon enjoying a beautiful sunrise from the air, along with some fascinating history and information about the landscape we were seeing.I was a little nervous about the landing, but there was no need to be—it was incredibly smooth, gentle, and actually a lot of fun!We wrapped up the experience with a delicious little breakfast and some champagne. What a fantastic way to start the day!A huge thank-you to Jonathan, Nate, and Nick for making this bucket-list experience so memorable. Highly recommend!

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.

Amazing!!
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!

Absolutely incredible experience! I went with my mom during our first trip to South Dakota, and this was definitely one of the major highlights of our visit!Pilots Petra and Shawn, along with their entire team, were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and so much fun. We felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the flight. Communication during booking and whenever we had questions was seamless.The flight itself was relaxing, enjoyable, and truly surreal. The views were breathtaking and indescribable, our photos are incredible, but they still don’t do the experience justice! We also loved gathering together afterward, when Petra shared the fascinating history of hot-air ballooning while we enjoyed some treats.It was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end, and I highly recommend flying with them!
