Program details

Live one of the most exhilarating yet relaxing experiences in the world with this one of a kind Sonoran desert hot air balloon tour. See Arizona like you have never seen it before.

HIGHLIGHTS:

* Unobstructed 360 degree views, allowing for breath-taking views
* See the region's desert wildlife much like an eagle would
* A nice gourmet and a ballooning certificate await in the desert when you land


Feel as if you are riding on a cloud or a magic carpet with this spectacular experience that will give you a privileged view of Arizona you will never forget. Although travelling at about 10 kilometres an hour, you won't feel any motion as you float on the wind.

Once the balloon is inflated by motorised fans, hop into the wicker basket as the propane burners ignite and the dreamlike contraption takes off. There is plenty of room in the basket for you to wander around and take stunning photos of the sprawling curved landscapes. Your pilot will keep an eye out for jackrabbit, quail, roadrunner, coyote and many other creatures. Become mesmerised by the sounds and the colours of the desert.

Even after landing, more surprises await. Our ground crew will follow your balloon's trail in order to have a delicious gala gourmet, nicely laid out on a table complete with linens and china, for when you touch the ground. First timers will be treated to a legendary Balloonists Ceremony that will make them feel like kings.
