I’ve always wanted to try this so I did on my actual birthday. It was beautiful. I don’t recommend wearing anything heavy, it was very hot up there next to the fire. It was about 45 minutes, I got some food pics and videos, I wished it went higher though. Some other balloons were way up high , but I’m not the driver and don’t know anything about the process. They had a nice table set up for all of us at the end with champagne and snacks. I would highly recommend this .

We came to Arizona to grab some sun and see the desert beauty. This was our first time hot air ballooning, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. It was a perfect ride from start to finish. We were fortunate to have great weather, lovely views, and a friendly crew who made us feel safe and welcome. Once up and hovering, it's a peaceful floating feeling. To see the other balloons in the distance was enchanting. Our balloon captain was Matt, he was awesome! A must do experience!

It wasn't clear that we would ride in a van for 30 minutes looking for a spot to launch. Our crew had problems getting the balloon ready to inflate. We were the last ones off out of 12 or so balloons and therefore it was pitch black when we ate. Balloon ride was beautiful!

Had a beautiful sunset experience for my daughters 18th birthday 🥳 The crew and captain were amazing, quick, courteous and very professional. I have driven past them for years and finally surprised my daughter for her birthday. I highly recommend going and crossing this off your bucket list. Whether you live right down the street like me or in AZ visiting, it’s well worth it.

We had a marvelous adventure in the balloon. It felt like we weren’t moving even though we were floating over the desert near Lake Pleasant. It was wonderful to have other balloons in the air at the same time so we got great photos against the setting sun.

My wife and I decided to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary at 6000 feet and we chose Hot Air Expeditions for this. It was an excellent choice! Our pilot, Jonathan, was super nice and very engaging. Afterwards, we had Champaign and hors d'oeuvre. Then Jonathan and the crew surprised us with cake for us and a young man turning 13. To the Jonathan and the ground crew...THANK YOU!

It was the best Hot Air Balloon trip ever. We were on the trip to Arizona and completed our Bucket List with a good taking care by Captain Don. Sunset dinner after flight was amazing and phenomenal! Also the crew led by Gary was so splendid, great job guys! We definitely recommended your Hot Air Balloon company for sure! And Gary please afford off road instead of van 😂😂😂
