Simply put, we are the best! Don't take our word for it, read what our customers have to say about their flight in their own words.
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The people were great, the activity special and the timing sound. We were unfortunately a victim of bad winds and a shortened experience. We would all like to do it again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Wow! This was our first ever hot air balloon experience, and our flight team did not disappoint! The flight was longer than the other balloons in the area, and it didnāt feel rushed or too brief. Pictures, champagne and transport were provided for free. We loved everything about this, and would absolutely do it again someday!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Holy craaappp these people are awesome. My grandpa is blind and frail and they gave him the full princess treatment. They took such good care of my whole family but the way they took care of my grandpa will stick with me forever. I will be back to bring my dad again because he loved these people. Cato is THE BEST badass and the whole team are genuinely kindTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh took amazing care of my grandpa!

My wife and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary and enjoyed this beautiful morning hot air balloon ride over the breathtaking terrain of Northern Mexico. The Catoās piloted out ride and it was just heavenly. Thank you for a wonderful experience of a lifetime. ā¤ļøTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From start to finish this was an incredible experience. Highly recommend.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Santa Fe Hot Air Balloon Ride was EXECPTIONAL!! We were all so nervous with many questions prior to arriving. Molly, in the office was very kind and informative. From the moment pilot Josh picked us up at our hotel, he made us feel so comfortable. The ground crew was GREAT! Brian, Amanda and Moses guided us through everything and I can't say enough about how reassuring they were. The trip was PHENOMONAL. So beautiful and serene! Thanks to Josh our fantastic pilot for a great trip. We all had an amazing time. I highly recommend this company!! We're going up againš
EXCELLENTVerified Metaphor for life experience. My husband and I celebrate 35 years of marriage this year. We took this ride at dawn on Easter morning for a sunrise spiritual experience rising into the clouds as did our Lord that first Easter morning. For me, I felt the trip to be a double entendre, or metaphorical experience, for life and faith. My husband volunteered to help fill the balloon with the fan. It was 31 degrees on the ground, pre-dawn. It was arduous for him, like the 10 years it took us to get to marriage. We committed. We climbed in helping each other to do so. After lift off we sailed high and far with ease, like most of our life has gone. After awhile, we lost altitude, scraped the side of the concrete ditch leaving black marks (scars) from our basket. The bottom of our basket touched the ground of the watery ditch, and in the same downturn I felt I could almost reach out and touch the power lines. Metaphorically this compares to the various trials, tribulations, and near misses that come up along the way in life/marriage (or all relationships actually). With faith, time, calm, patience and experience of others around us (our pilot/God) we safely rose out of the ditch, only to land in a barb wired fenced area- trapping us. We couldnāt deflate/disembark safely without ripping the balloon in the barbed wire. Having faith and continued commitment in all to work out, Alfred (who has 24 years experience) and our two ground crew members, all worked together to give us enough lift to get us out of the barbed wire ādanger zoneā to safety, which was in clear visible view of where the bus waited for us just a few yards away. While we were never in any real danger on the balloon ride, like in life, things happen along the ride (that leave scars/black marks), bumps, touching the bottom, feeling trapped. Calling on our pilot, (our faith in God), and working with each other, we can rise above it all and continue the journey of life together experiencing all life has to offer.Verified Extremely Professional Group Great experience! The crews are extremely impressive and professional. At least two were retired from public serviceāfireman and police. Their professionalism provided an extra level of confidence throughout the entire process. Definitely an enjoyable bucket list experience. The after ride celebration was also well done!Verified Fantastic Hot Air Balloon Such a great experience; Josh our pilot and Brian, Asst Pilot made it most enjoyable. Easy peasy landing and beautiful day. Highly recommend!Verified Exceptional Experience Santa Fe Hot Air Balloon Ride was EXECPTIONAL!! We were all so nervous with many questions prior to arriving.

Josh, our pilot and everyone on the ground crew were all very friendly and professional. They happily answered questions and explained the set up and inflation process. They took photos on the ground and of us in the air and gave them to us for no extra charge and we had the pics before we got back into town. I think our pilot, Josh, was having even more fun than us, and that made the experience even better. To see and hear how much he enjoys it, doing it every day was very cool. Throughout the flight he was explaining all that he was doing to pilot and stear the balloon. Tremendous from the time they picked us up to the time they dropped us off.Verified Santa Fe Balloons Everything went well, from the timely shuttle pick-up at the hotel and the professionalism of Josh and the crew to the actual flight and landing. I would give more than five stars, if I could.Verified Wonderful experience! My wife and I had a wonderful experience! Josh and his team were delightful and gave us a great sense of confidence and safety in their operation. They picked us up at our hotel right on time and had us back there as scheduled. The 1 hour flight was awesome, with wonderful views of the desert-like areas outside of Santa Fe. Was worth the price and would enjoy doing it again!Verified Gorgeous and fantastic way to see Santa Fe! We went with our friends to go on the hot air balloon ride just outside of Santa Fe. What a gorgeous and incredible ride it was! My husband and I have been on 4 other rides in other locations and this was the most beautiful and with the most skillful, informative and friendly crew! I highly recommend you going on to see the area from a whole different perspective. It was absolutely incredible!Verified Anniversary trip Wow, just a great experience! Josh, Amy and their crew were the best.Experience was more than we thought it would be!It's a must do!Verified Ballooning Adventure! This was our second time on Santa Fe Balloons flying over the desert. We went a couple years ago with the former owner, Johnny Lewis, as our pilot. This time we had Cato as our pilot. It was a completely different experience. Both were excellent. Cato's flight was a bit more adventurous. He was using a brand new balloon that has a panel on the side that opens and allows the balloon to turn and spin. We also went up much higher than last time. It was a bit of a wilder ride. His crew of Brian, Amanda, Moses and Abel took care of everything, from inflating the balloon, to packing it back up after landing. There is a little celebration right there in the desert after the flight! For all you early morning coffee drinkers, they now have a portable bathroom at the warehouse where they stop to pick up the balloon. It's not far from where the balloon takes off. It was a lot of fun!
