Our pilot Will, our crew chief Brian and all the team went above and beyond (pun intended) to make sure we had a great experience with safety as their main priority..

This was a fantastic experience from booking of the ride to getting us back to our local accomodations! The pre-trip communications was outstanding. We never had to worry about pick up and the schedule. The ride was absolutely fantastic and our pilot, Cato, shared everything about balloon piloting. Of course, the views and ride was absolutely amazing! Everything about the operation was professional and curtious. The day ended with a nice celebration before being dropped back to our accomodations. This is the company to book your balloon ride experience with!Posted on Colleen RustTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took our first ever hot air balloon ride with Santa Fe Balloons and had the most wonderful experience, we can’t recommend it enough! Our pilot, Nicholas, was fantastic and made us feel safe and secure throughout the experience. With this being our first experience, we weren’t sure what to expect. Nicholas communicated every step of the way throughout inflation, launch, ride, and landing. He provided a thorough and easy to understand safety briefing, and answered all the questions we had about the world of ballooning. Bryan and the rest of the crew were so kind, helpful, and made the experience a blast from start to finish. In addition to the actual ride, Santa Fe Balloons also does hotel pick up and provides a wonderful time for a toast, snacks, and information on the history of ballooning after the ride which enhanced our experience even more. We are already looking forward to ballooning again!Posted on Celia TullyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an extraordinary experience! From the early morning trip to the launch site, watching the process of inflating the balloon, to the flight itself…..everything was spectacular. The crew was super friendly and made us feel safe. Our pilot, Nicholas, explained all details and provided a stellar flight. The was the highlight of our five day trip.Posted on Shelley SoucyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an outstanding experience! Our pilot Nicolas was wonderful, so friendly and made the whole experience so much fun. His team was great too. They worked so well together and you could tell they love what they do. Thank you to Brian for your great photos. I would do this again and again!
