What you can expect

Experience beautiful Albuquerque from the air and snap photos of the beautiful view while you float across the sky. Enjoy an exhilarating 1-hour hot air balloon ride over the Rio Grande Valley, admire the majestic Sandia Mountains, and top off your adventure with a champagne toast and tasty bites.

After check in, ride to the launch site, watch pilots begin the inflation process, and then see the massive and colorful hot air balloon swell and lift to life. Get a chance to be involved or simply observe and take pictures as the sun starts to drop toward the horizon. Once the basket begins to tug at its mooring line, hop in and let it loose to float up and over the Rio Grande Valley.

From your lofty vantage point, snap photos of the sprawling mesa and Sandia Mountains, a landmark range to the east of Albuquerque. Glide low enough to wave at people on the ground, see the Rio Grande up close, and admire stunning views of the desert landscape any way the wind blows you. Your FAA-certified pilot shares informative commentary about New Mexico throughout your flight

After landing, celebrate with a toast as the night's stars first start to appear and enjoy a glass of champagne with post-flight fare from the locally renowned Wildflower Bread Company. At the end of your aerial adventure, receive a customized flight certificate to commemorate your enchanting experience.
