Amazing - This was my second time going on the sunrise hot air balloon tour! Both experiences were great. First time solo, second time with a friend. Ironically, I had Pilot Morghan Chando for both times I had a tour. He made the experience great! Friendly and professional. The entire staff was amazing as well. Would recommend this company for hot air balloon ride.

10/10 experience - Such a fun experience, would go back and do it again, the pilot was very informative! The sunset was so beautiful, waking up extra early was worth the view!

One of the coolest things I've ever done! - It was one of the coolest things I've ever done! It's so peaceful. And smooth. It didn't feel like we were floating in a basket almost 8,000 feet in the sky! Kyle was a great pilot. He was funny and knowledgeable. This was a bucket list item for me and I'd definitely do it again sometime! It was fantastic!

Bucket List - Checked! - Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Tour.
Our tour guide Kyle was super funny and paid great attention to detail. It was cool to see how they inflated the balloons. On our flight we got to one of the highest altitude of all five balloons that were in the air. I was skeptical that two van loads of people would be able to have their own outside view in the balloon basket, but everyone had their own section to view along the outside of the basket and it didn’t seem crowded. It was definitely a bucket list check off. I highly recommend this company. They are very organized and very mindful of your safety.
