Itinerary
Hot air balloon named Rainbow Ryders: Start your hot-air balloon trip by getting up early. Check-in at the office first, then ride to the balloon launch location (which varies day-to-day depending on the weather). When you arrive, your pilot starts the balloon’s inflation procedure. For an even more practical experience, you may assist the staff as they inflate the balloon. Enjoy breathtaking bird’s eye views of the Rio Grande Valley as you glide far above the surface of the earth.
Depending on the direction of the wind, your pilot decides the course for the day. Albuquerque can be flown over in a plane, and you can even dive low enough to wave at people and skim the Rio Grande River. Your pilot provides insightful remarks on the surroundings as you fly over them. Your pilot lands the balloon after about an hour in the air, and the ground crew arrives to greet you. Before landing at the starting location, enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and a certificate commemorating your flight.
