If you have ever wanted to soar into the sky in a hot air balloon – this is your chance! Be a part of the entire adventure from watching the balloon inflate, to riding along, to touching back down on the ground. Take your ride in an actual hand-crafted wicker basket, with plenty of space to move about. Whether you are a few hundred feet from the ground viewing the desert below or thousands of feet up for a scenic overlook view, you will be amazed during your once-in-a-lifetime flight in Arizona. Finish your adventure with a gourmet dinner in a beautiful setting in the desert and ceremonies that make you an official legendary balloonist.
