we were both so excited to do this and cross it off our bucket list. The weather was perfect. lots of sunshine for good photos. The company entertaining to say the least. there were a few who were not fond of heights but loved it in the end. we were able to watch the inflating and the deflating of the balloons. several balloons went up around the same time. another great photo op. having drinks and snacks on the desert floor was such a nice touch. The sunset picture was one of my favorite I took while in Phoenix for the month of February. amazing amazing amazing

My wife and I took the afternoon balloon excursion to celebrate an anniversary week. Was an extremely uplifting and amazing experience all around. The views were breathtaking as one could expect, but all the other aspects of putting a balloon in the air were very interesting to watch and take part of, from watching the crew inflate the balloon to jumping in the basket and all that fun stuff! We also had them pick us up at our hotel and bring us to the launch site and we were very glad we did that because our hotel was in the opposite corner of Phoenix, so that was a really nice feature that I would recommend to anyone if you’re not familiar with the city. All the crew and staff were very nice and polite and friendly. Special thanks to our balloon pilot Kasey for safely guiding us through an amazing journey! While our flight had to be cut a few minutes short based on inopportune landing potentials, the company ultimately made it worth our while. My wife and I were also surprised by being presented with an anniversary cake which everyone in our group got to enjoy. This was such an amazing experience, and we are letting all our friends and family know! Thanks again so much Hot Air Expeditions!

What a beautiful and fun experience! The trip was magical and our pilot Kasey was so friendly and knowledgeable. And then the toast after the flight was also special. If there are any doubts about doing this, just go for it!
