I planned a ride for myself and my husband for my 50th Birthday. We traveled from out of state, and booked our ride for early in our trip. Thankfully we did! The weather was terrible! We got the text the day before indicating that the flight was cancelled, but they also offered for us to reschedule. We were able to book for our last day, sunrise flight, and it was a lovely morning. Sadly, zero wind! So, up we went, and almost straight down. While not what I expected or hoped for (views or experience), a pro pilot who was entertaining and informative, and a lovely breakfast after landing was still a very nice way to celebrate a milestone birthday.

Jonathan was great and so was my driver to the site. I loved you celebrated those who had birthdays and I appreciate the pilot bringing me souvenirs from the gift shop.

Excellent experience! Transportation chief Edward and Captain Matt had us in the air as the sun rose over the mountains. Great views and landing to a “bubbly” breakfast. Highly recommended!

This was nothing short of AMAZING!!! The crispy air and the peace that was felt during the ride. Johnathan was our pilot and he was informative and fun. The staff was great and Joy was or organizer and van driver that gave the best customer service ever. If you haven't gone, you're missing out. 10 stars in my book. Chef's 💋

Everything was very well organized. The ground crew photographed and took videos of our take off and landing, so we had great pictures from inside and outside the balloon. The breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed the whole experience.

I had an incredible birthday adventure! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless. The prep was smooth, the team was professional yet full of fun energy, and the excitement. Once we lifted off, the views were breathtaking, the roadrunner, the bunnies, and others roaming free but what made it truly special were the stories, laughter, and good vibes shared along the way. We were #teambruce he made the ride unforgettable! Our gentle takeoff to the soaring elevation and the post-flight celebration, every detail was handled perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate another trip around the sun. If you’re looking for an adventure that combines serenity, excitement, and pure joy — this is it! 🎈✨ Cheers to 49 in the sky!!!!!

We signed up for the ride as an adventure on the old bucket list. Day of the ride came, weather did not cooperate. Received a text message saying they had to cancel. We were returning home the next afternoon thought we would have to miss out. They were able to get us in on the next morning. The Captain and crew were absolutely amazing. Customer service was their top priority and they delivered. If you’re looking for a fun filled adventure with a top notch company you have to use them.
