We had a great time with Arizona Balloons. Taylor was our pilot. He was funny, answered all of our questions, and had information about the area we were flying over. He was informative and calmed any nerves we had about flying. The rest of his crew was so helpful, took pictures for us and helped us in and out of the basket. The trip was at sunrise and it was beautiful. I’m not sure how long the flight lasted exactly but it definitely wasn’t short! They made landing easy and without incident. They even had mimosas ready for us once we landed. Definitely enjoyed and would do it again! Thanks guys!

This was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Hot air balloon ride has long been on my bucket list, and I was not disappointed. The ride was so smooth, the views were breathtaking, and Taylor is such a great captain. The ride was incredible, there were dad jokes galore (thanks, Taylor!), and ended with a champagne toast to celebrate out smooth landing. Would absolutely recommend and would do over, and over again!

Absolutely amazing. Breathtaking sunrise flight. Taylor and his crew went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience. The quiet and tranquility is stunning. Floating almost motionlessly above the desert. What a start to the day. Highly recommend these fine folks.

Our Pilot Taylor was very knowledgeable and fun to fly with. He made the ride very enjoyable. He even answered questions and pointed out animals as we traveled over the beautiful scenery below. He made me feel very comfortable and safe. It was a wonderful experience.
The champagne and orange juice toast when we landed was a perfect ending.
