This was our first time flying and we wanted to take along our 83 year old grandma since it was on her bucket list. She was nervous about how rough it would be and the crew and pilot made it so easy for her and helped her along in any way possible. The view was great and the pilot explained everything we were looking at. We were the first balloon in the air and were the only ones able to catch the sunrise. Felt very safe. Would definitely do this again and would recommend to anyone in the area!

This was the highlight of our trip to Arizona! I brought my 13 year old son and we both had a fantastic time with Captain Taylor in the sky. You can tell Taylor has been doing this for 20 years and 4,000 trips...he has the system and experience down 💯 percent! He was the perfect mix of teasing and entertaining but also made you completely confident and assured of your safety. His staff was also very friendly and professional and a pleasure to be around. The views were breathtaking and the landing couldn’t have been smoother. I’d recommend it to everyone.

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!
