A fantastic family experience with a great guide and crew. Taylor was amazing, and so are his corny jokes! We had an incredible ride on one of the last sunset nights of the season and were rewarded with spectacular vistas and a ride that Taylor didn’t really want to end! You can tell this is a passion of his. Safety, knowledge and experience are three things you look for in a ballooning operation and Taylor had all three. If you’re looking for a unique exilerating thing to do go for it! You won’t regret it.

Thank you for flying with us! We are always sad for the sunset flight season to be over, but love when the last flight turns out to be spectacular! Our jobs rely on our passengers and we love that you shared the same joy that we experience each time we fly. We hope to see you in the skies again!

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!

Thank you for flying with us! Growing up in Arizona and flying for over 20 years, I am still in awe of each flight and am thrilled that you all had a wonderful experience. We hope to have you all join us again, may I suggest a sunset flight next time? Thank you for the great review!

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.
