I had originally planned on using Red Rock Balloon Company, but when they didn't return my calls and emails, I called Northern Lights. They answered the phone every time I called and I never got voice mail like I did with Red Rock. The experience was great. We had my 85 year old uncle with us and he was kind... more

There is nothing quite like flying in a hot air balloon over one of the most beautiful areas on the planet. We were picked up from our hotel when there were stars in the sky, we witnessed the morning light as the balloon was being prepared for flight, and we soared over the red rocks as the sun seemingly celebrated... more

And I have been lucky enough to do it twice! And I would go back for more in a heartbeat. During our flight with Northern Lights, we were able to see the sunrise and lots of wildlife. The pilot was very informative about the Sedona area and very experienced with the ballooning industry. If you ever get the chance to... more

I was personally unable to make the flight due to an earlier injury on the vacation but my friend did make it. She totally enjoyed the flight. Dan the pilot was very informative on the local history of the Sedona area as he is a native and learned to fly here as well. As a first time balloonist, she was... more

We always wanted to do a hot air balloon ride and we were torn between this and a helicopter. We were not disappointed! The guys were very nice and knowledgeable about what we were looking at. Its a super early morning but we had fun! I had not expected the ride to be so smooth, it was not scary at... more

We had a good experience with Northern lights on March 16, 2009, and saw some beautiful scenery and the ride met our expectations. Being an airplane pilot I was impressed with their overall professionalism and the quality of all their equipment as well their attention to detail. It did take us a while to move from the launch zone, but... more

I recently did a balloon ride with Northern Lights, but must say I was extremely disappointed. The crew was extremely nice and professional and there were only 7 people in our basket. Northern Lights takes west of town off of Rt 89 and in 90 minutes of air time I would estimate we moved maybe 1 mile. Believe it or... more

My wife and I have been talking about doing a hot air balloon ride for many years now. We lived in Albuquerque for 8 years, and went to the annual Balloon Fiesta almost every year. So to celebrate our 25th anniversary we thought a balloon ride with the scenic splendor of Sedona would be perfect. Unfortunately, we were somewhat disappointed.... more

We booked a sunrise hot air balloon flight. Pickup time was 6:15 am and about an hour later we were in the air. Someone forgot to tell the wind to blow so we basically sat in one place for over half of our scheduled time. We finally got moving and Northern Lights extended the flight for another 20 minutes. It's... more
