Morning hot air balloon flight over Phoenix. - Johnathan Wright was an amazing pilot and very mindful of his surroundings. I would highly recommend him to use when going on this tour. He got us up in time to see a beautiful sunrise 🌅 😍. The toast at the end topped it all off with a bit of cake for my birthday and couldn't have been any better. Thank you Johnathan and morning hot air balloon flight over Phoenix. Great birthday vacation complete 🎂❤️🌅

Amazing Experience - 5stars BUT don’t forget a hat. The heat from the fire inflating the balloon will have your head on fire. Please don’t forget this. Experience was amazing. Breakfast was good. Croissant and quiche fruit and champagne. Loved every second.

Bucket list check - A perfect end of the trip! I had to rescheduled the first time due to winds. However, the company got me rescheduled asap and it was a very pleasant experience.

Hot Air Balloon Ride - This was the most exhilarating experience! Our captain Jonathan was the absolute best. Ask for him. Not only was the ride smooth and amazing. They also provided breakfast with a champagne toast. I was celebrating my birthday and two other couples their anniversary. They provided cake for us to celebrate. Best experience and company!

Worth every penny - We finally scheduled a hot air balloon excursion on this trip to Phoenix and it was worth every penny. We were lucky enough to get the highly experienced Captain John Bagwell and Cloverz headed our flight crew to make this a magnificent day we will always remember (my wife, adult son and I). This group knows what it’s doing, from their advanced communications, travel to takeoff, unloading, inflating the balloon, of course the desert flight near Cave Creek, AZ, a soft landing, champagne toast and mimosas, with a delicious quiche for breakfast before the ride back to the airport. Cloverz had to do some fancy driving with the ground crew while Captain Bagwell was able to answer every question we threw at him. If you’ve ever thought about a hot air balloon trip, do it with Hot Air Expeditions. We hope to return in November or March for a sundown trip eventually.

A perfect flight - Our pilot, Don G., has 39 years of experience in hot air balloons plus more experience in other aircraft. He is professional and attentive throughout the experience, from pre-flight to post flight. The ground crew, headed by Mike, is efficient in preparing the balloon for flight as well as setting up the post flight celebration.
