Amazing mother/daughters bucket list trip! - We had an incredible experience with Hot Air Expeditions! Marcus and Sean were absolutely amazing crew members, going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. Our pilot, Alisa, was not only highly skilled but also made the journey so enjoyable with her knowledge and professionalism. It was fascinating to learn about hot air ballooning from such a passionate and experienced team. What made the experience even more special was discovering that the company is woman-owned by two sisters and has a wonderful family-oriented vibe. We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire experience. To top it all off, we enjoyed an awesome champagne toast and a delicious breakfast in the desert after the flight. It was truly a perfect way to end such a memorable adventure. I highly recommend Hot Air Expeditions to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

Bucket List Adventure - This was my second balloon ride, having previously floated over upstate New York , but it was my husband’s first time soaring among the clouds. Overall, we had an incredible experience; however, I found the duration of our flight to be disappointingly brief. For the price we paid, I expected a longer adventure—it was only 40 minutes in the air. Given that the weather was absolutely perfect on that day, it seemed particularly short compared to my prior flight, which lasted a full hour. Before our flight, the communication from the company was stellar. Initially, I mistakenly booked a package that included both the flight and hotel pickup, but I was able to easily cancel that and rebook just the flight, as I had arranged to drive ourselves to the meeting point with a rental car. Additionally, I had reached out beforehand to inform them of my dietary restrictions, and I was grateful to be offered a different meal option that catered to my needs. Upon arriving at the launch site, I found myself wishing we could have captured some photographs in front of the magnificent balloon as it was being inflated. Unfortunately, our van was delayed in arriving due to late pickup of other passengers, which cut into our pre-flight excitement. Once we were on our way, we were in the capable hands of an exceptional pilot and flight crew—Matt, Matt, and Esar. They were attentive, informative, and personable, making the journey enjoyable. Their passion for the experience truly shone through. While I would certainly recommend this adventure to others, I’m left pondering whether I would do it again at this price point.

What a fantastic time! - We were on vacation and decided to take a hot air balloon ride, and it was absolutely stunning! Our pilot, Johnathan, was so knowledgeable about the area we were exploring, and it made the experience even more special. We also had Jim as our driver, and he really made the ride a lot of fun! I loved hearing all the history and little stories about the places we were visiting. It was such a fantastic experience!

Poor quality of service provided by tour. - Pathetic conveyance of message to customer , merchant in message provides a details and formal instruction on visiting the venue instead of telling that we dont have your address and therefore cant pick you up, too vague message, shadows the intent completely, paid extra 200$ for this kind of pathetic support.
