Highlights
- 2800 W Dove Valley Rd - Begin your adventure by meeting your crew just north of Phoenix about 30 minutes before sunrise for this 4-hour experience. Take a short van ride to the launch area for this scenic flight.
After you arrive, experience the inflation of the balloon by motorized fans as it grows to an enormous 11 stories tall. Once the envelope is filled with air, the propane burners are ignited to heat the air inside. It takes about thirty minutes before you are ready for flight.
Join your pilot in the hand-crafted, oversized wicker basket with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy an approximate 45-minute ride. As you takeoff, admire how light the balloon feels. During the flight, you have an unobstructed view to take excellent photographs.
Upon landing you are greeted with flutes of champagne and breakfast. First-time riders will be treated to the legendary ceremony that balloonists all over the world have been sharing for more than two centuries.

This is the company to go with!! - From start to finish this crew was a well rehearsed machine that provided a good time. We met on time and in the location just as described. After a short (5-10 minute) drive we got out and watched the crew prepare the balloon and basket. It was so fascinating watching them assemble the balloon that you don't realize it takes about 30 minutes. Once the balloon was ready everybody (20 of us) jumped in the basket. It was fun watching the pilot maneuver the balloon. He proved to be more skilled than the pilot in the black balloon pictured because they tried but were unable to land in the spot our pilot took us to. The landing was eventful but we were prepared by the pilot and it made the experience way more fun. After landing the crew quickly assembled a small but tasty breakfast for us and set up a souvenir shop. It was an amazing experience overall and this group was by far the best value for the money. I would recommend to anyone!!
