A must try Experience - The experience was wonderful. We met in a parking lot drove to location … take nap. When we got to location we really didn’t have a lot of time to take many pictures but did. You don’t even notice you’re off the ground beautiful view. Landing was a little adventurous due to a few bushes run in 😂😂 but we landed safely. Everything was setup breakfast and mimosas 🥰 and back into the van and to your vehicle you went. 10/10

AMAZING! - Knocked this off the bucket list while in Arizona for business. What an experience! Our Air Balloon Pilot, Scott was very knowledgeable and could provide us with background on the location we were flying over. This is a Sunrise flight so you have to be at the meet spot no later than 4:30am! You then shuttle to the location where you board your balloon for your ride. The views were amazing. The whole experience was so surreal. We wanted to take Earl back with us, he was such a vibe! He made everything full of fun. The booking includes: transportation from Chandler to the Launch Site, your balloon Ride & breakfast once you land. It was worth EVERY penny! I would definitely do this again if in the area. Don't debate. Just do it! Earl & Scott and their crew are amazing!

Highly recommend this bucket list experience - I booked this little excursion to mark a bucket list item off my list. The wonderful guy that drove us to and from the site was amazing! The air balloon was filled within no time. We all boarded the balloon and they were super nice and helpful with everyone getting in. They also offered to take pics of us in the basket with our phones! Next thing we were lifted off of the ground. It was smooth ride up into the air and for the landing as well. Loved every bit of it and would definitely recommend this to anyone interested.
