Highlights
Choosing our launch sights daily makes it a lot more likely your flight is successful. Ballooning is dependent upon the weather and having such a large radius we fly in gives us a much higher likelihood of having a slow soft landing. We offer private flights as well as group flights. We can accommodate almost any requests and we would be happy to do so.
Inclusions
What's included
- Mimosas or nonalcoholic options are available. Only 18 years old and above are allowed to have alcoholic beverages
- Air-conditioned vehicle
Itinerary
We fly within a 30 mile radius of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We choose our launch sight to give you safest as well as the most scenic flight.
During days that will have a lot of balloons activity we plan our flights in the Rio Rancho area (north of Albuquerque) in order to show you all of the balloons flying for competitions.
One of our favorite flights is slightly south of Albuquerque in a farming community called Los Lunas. There we fly over the mighty Rio Grande river and if you’re lucky we might even touch down in the river to do a “splash and dash.” Followed by a beautiful flight over historic Tome hill.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.

About Albuquerque
Albuquerque is New Mexico's largest city, a high-desert city on the Rio Grande with an adobe old town, the Sandia Mountains and a famous balloon festival.
Albuquerque lies at about 1,600 metres in the high desert, along the Rio Grande, with the Sandia Mountains rising on its eastern edge. Old Town, founded in 1706, is a plaza of adobe buildings around the church of San Felipe de Neri, now home to craft shops, galleries and courtyard restaurants. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center presents the history and art of New Mexico's nineteen pueblos, and neon-lit motels along Central Avenue recall the days of Route 66.
