Highlights
  • 2800 W Dove Valley Rd - Begin your adventure by meeting your crew just north of Phoenix about 30 minutes before sunrise for this 4-hour experience. Take a short van ride to the launch area for this scenic flight.

After you arrive, experience the inflation of the balloon by motorized fans as it grows to an enormous 11 stories tall. Once the envelope is filled with air, the propane burners are ignited to heat the air inside. It takes about thirty minutes before you are ready for flight.

Join your pilot in the hand-crafted, oversized wicker basket with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy an approximate 45-minute ride. As you takeoff, admire how light the balloon feels. During the flight, you have an unobstructed view to take excellent photographs.

Upon landing you are greeted with flutes of champagne and breakfast. First-time riders will be treated to the legendary ceremony that balloonists all over the world have been sharing for more than two centuries.

Check this hot air balloon ride off of your bucket list! - A memory of a lifetime! - This hot air balloon ride was the experience of a lifetime! I definitely plan on doing it again in the future in a different location. Our tour guides were professional, experienced at flying, and funny. I felt very safe and relaxed the entire time. The breakfast with mimosas after the ride added a cherry on top of the entire trip. It allowed the group time to talk, laugh, and connect. Finally, the views at sunrise were gorgeous and spectacular. I also enjoyed seeing the other balloons flying around us at the same time. This is a must-do activity if you are ever in Arizona!
