The adventure begins when you meet Rainbow Ryders at our launch site.  From there we inflate the hot air balloons giving you the opportunity to become involved "hands on" as a crew member and help with the balloon inflation, or you may sit back, observe and take pictures as the gentle giant comes alive.

At lift off you embark upon a journey of uniqueness. Enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande Valley or North Scottsdale and Sonoran Desert area while floating in the sky and sending greetings to earthbound folks below.

After landing, enjoy a champagne toast to end your safe and memorable adventure. You will be presented with a flight certificate and balloon flight pin to commemorate your aeronautical experience. Make sure you bring your camera!
