This is my first time flying, and was scared to do it, but the flight was very smooth and peaceful. The views are incredible and the weather was perfect. Our pilot Jonathan was great! I would definitely do it again!

First of all, we had terrific weather so we lucked out! My husband booked it a few weeks prior to going to New Mexico for a quick Anniversary getaway. As soon as we got there and I watched them blowing air in the balloon. I would lie, if I said I did not panic, but, within 15 minutes, I was... More

Thanks to pilot Dean and crew Jeffrey and Damian for a top ten lifetime experience. My wife and I immensely enjoyed the balloon ride over Alburquerque. World Balloon does an excellent job with their customer service and a little bubbly at the certificate ceremony was nice as well. If you're in ABQ and have the time, make sure ballooning with...

We had a great experience. They had to delay the flight about an hour due to unexpected early morning winds which was fine by us as it was all for our safety. It was a very interesting process of setting up and taking down. I was able to take a lot of great photos. I'm only 4-11 so getting into... More

We went in our first ride with family And. Friends that were visiting from ecuador, we had the best time. Murray is super nice and did a lot of explanation and answered all our questions and we had a lot. We were celebrating my sister's bday so they got us cupcakes and it was really sweet. We really appreciate the... More

Four of us ladies took a balloon ride two weeks ago and had one of the best experiences ever!! Murray was our pilot and we could not have asked for anyone better. His sense of humor and interesting facts added to the experience. We're so glad we did this. We had been debating for 2 years whether we would enjoy... More

Took our flight yesterday with Dean as our pilot. Had a great group to share this with. Never imagined that I would ever get in an hot air balloon. But so glad I did. If Tammy from New Orleans reads this, thanks for the cooking class tip. We called Norma and set up a class.

My husband and I had to try 3 times to go up in the hot air balloon. We went in April of 2013 and the first two trips were cancelled because it was too windy. They really do take safety seriously! When we finally got to go, it was a wonderful experience! You get to see them blow up the... More

I never would have imagined I'd take a hot air balloon ride, but when I found myself in Albuquerque for work, I decided to go for it. I'm SO glad I did. Our pilot, Murray was confident and funny. He did a great job of pointing out the landmarks on the ground and explaining what was happening so that we... More
