What you can expect

Experience beautiful Albuquerque from the air and snap photos of the beautiful view while you float across the sky. Enjoy an exhilarating 1-hour hot air balloon ride over the Rio Grande Valley, admire the majestic Sandia Mountains, and top off your adventure with a champagne toast and tasty bites.

After check in, ride to the launch site, watch pilots begin the inflation process, and then see the massive and colourful hot air balloon swell and lift to life. Get a chance to be involved or simply observe and take pictures as the sun starts to drop towards the horizon.

From your lofty vantage point, snap photos of the sprawling Rio Grande Valley and Sandia Mountains, a landmark range to the east of Albuquerque. Glide low enough to wave at people on the ground, see the Rio Grande up close, and admire stunning views of the desert landscape any way the wind blows you. Your FAA-certified pilot shares informative commentary about New Mexico throughout your flight.

After landing, celebrate with a toast and light snacks. At the end of your aerial adventure, receive a customised flight certificate to commemorate your enchanting experience.
