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.

What a beautiful day! - Arizona balloon safari was wonderful. The whole crew was helpful and fun to be around! I would totally hang out with each of them! The ride itself was amazing. Our captain, Scott, told us all about what he was doing and how he used the winds to "steer" the balloon. The breakfast after was good and I loved the toast Scott gave. Can't wait to come back and do it again!

Just book it! - I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a cool activity for his birthday trip in Arizona. I’m SO glad I booked with this company and this experience! The crew was amazing. I don’t know how they have the energy to be lively at 4am. This is the largest hot air balloon in North America, so the basket was extra big and roomy for our group. The pilot did “contour” flying (so flying closer to the ground and with the grooves of the terrain). Honestly, I preferred this over just going super high up in the air. He explained a lot about Arizona wild life and vegetation—we even saw a lot of cool critters and flowering cactus up close. We did go high up passing over the last mountain so we still got to experience that. Overall such a great experience and couldn’t recommend this crew enough!

Amazing, everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. - Lifting off the earth into the peaceful sky was awesome and thrilling.Scott Earl and the crew were professional and efficient.Working well together as a team ,they made us feel safe and confident.Scott explained the type and origin of the ballon also the size ,height and effects of the wind on our altitude and direction . We thought the experience was really good value for money considering we had a tasty breakfast and a short history lesson about early ballooning in France .We would highly recommend this trip . Thank you Scott Earl and crew .
