Book it!! - 10/10 would recommend! We had a great experience from start to finish with our Captain Morgan. He looks like us is in middle school, but assured us he was born in a balloon (he’s actually 30 and had an extensive amount of experience). The views and peacefulness that comes with the sunrise ride are indescribable. I am scared of heights, but would still recommend to anyone and everyone!

Kyle is the best pilot! Don’t pass up this opportunity - This is Ana amazing experience you should not pass up. Everyone at Rainbow Ryders is friendly and very professional. Everything from check in to the ride was smooth. Literally. Kyle was so friendly and knowable. Plus a great pilot. This fulfilled a major bucket list item for me!

Sunrise - kinda - We selected the sunrise experience. Everything was great except I thought we would be launching at just before sunrise to watch the colors come alive over the mountain. When we launched the sun was already up and most of the colors were already gone - very sad. Our pilot was friendly, funny and made us feel very safe. The basket held 14 of us - it was huge. We have been on one other balloon ride in a smaller basket and I think prefer the more intimate experience.
