Captain Don was awesome and super knowledgeable. I now know it’s better to go in the morning when the winds are calmer but he successfully got us up and down on the afternoon ride. Kassidy was great too. The views were remarkable and saw some borrows walking. The sunset was beautiful.

Just want to say want an amazing experience this was. Everything from our balloon chaser to our pilot Micheal. They told us all the information we needed to feel comfortable. Once we got in the air, Micheal was updating us on the travel pattern of the balloon, wind speeds, altitude and distance. It was pretty fascinating. When the hot air isn't firing up the balloon and all is quiet, it's a very peaceful feeling. Also...if you are afraid of heights, like I am a bit, climbing and descending is so smooth you don't realize how much you are moving up and down in the air. The champagne, pilots prayers and cheese snacks at the end was the chefs kiss. I'm sure experiences can vary but ours with pilot Micheal was awesome. FYI...they charge your card at the end of the experience and tipping is encouraged.

Mike J and his crew were outstanding. Professional and lots of fun. Perfect landing and the crew was on site immediately. I would highly recommend this company. The champagne and snacks in the desert was a lovely touch Patricia Cooper
