Great experience. Shayne was funny, knowledgeable and safe. Loved all of it . My sons enjoyed the experience as well. Just a very early start. But it worked out in the end as the temperature during the day here can reach 100 degrees .

The Crew and Pilot were amazing, we had a great time and definitely checked off a bucket list item. I would overwhelmingly recommend to anyone wanting to try. The only issue I have is why did we wait so long in the parking lot before heading out to our take off spot. The instructions on the site were very clear about departing by 5:20am. Yet we waited an additional 20 mins for a group of 4 to show up before leaving the parking lot. Once we got to the take off spot our crew, again, was amazing and got us up as fast as they could. Unfortunately the sun had already come up by the time we got up in air. Why did we wait for 4 people that caused the rest of us to miss the actual sunrise from the air?

Our pilot coped with changable winds and brought us over several parts of the desert floor whereas another company we could see flying in the same general area went up, stayed in that space and went down again. We were glad we chose the company we did.

I’ve been on a hot air balloon before- what made this different is Shane took us close to the ground near the hiking trails on the mountain and high up as well so he didn’t just fly high. We got to get close to the animals on the hillside at different times and it was the smoothest landing - less jolting than a smooth elevator stop. I get where some reviews may slam Shane on his rudeness but really it’s just his dry, sharp, attitude and knowledge that prioritizes safety. When you’re as good as he is- it comes with a bit of an attitude. He loves it when you ask him about the rules of ballooning. lol He’s a great pilot so go in knowing that- he’s not a politician so won’t be kissing your baby and being all politician “fake nice” so just relax and you will have a great time. We will definitely come again and bring friends. Oh and by the end of the event you will see that Shane’s a great guy and you can see he’s really a softie - we see through you Shane!

I was amazed at how fast they filled the balloon and had us in the air. This was a great experience for a first timmer.

The pilot was fantastic! Very entertaining and we learned so much! The whole team was awesome. You feel like you are a part of making it happen! The flight is indescribable! Such an amazing experience! One filled with juxtapositions: - Quiet…untill the propane flame thrower comes on and deafens you. - Seemingly slow moving…then they tell you that you’re at 5500 feet. - relaxing and peaceful… and then you realize you’re in a huge wicker basket,far above the earth!

It was a very pleasurable experience. They knew how to keep us informed with take off and landing and everything in between.

Amazing views and an experience like no other! Very nice and accommodating staff. I would recommend to anyone who would like to see Phoenix and the Sonoran Desert from a brand new perspective.

It was a rough start due to some mechanical issues, but they were able to over come that and resolve the issue. Once we were in the air Shane did a great job explaining what we were seeing. We also were in the air longer than the other balloons and changed elevations through the valley.
