"What a great time. We enjoyed a beautiful ride at sunrise with the mountain desert scenery. Also we got lucky to have Johnny as our pilot. He’s full of knowledge as he had been flying hot air balloons since the 70’s and love to share his knowledge. Cheers and hope to see you guys again. Shoutout to the whole crew Amanda Brian and Dave !"

"Amazing first time hot air balloon experience! Johnny and his team were extremely experienced and professional but also had so many laughs with us. Really appreciate the pick up and snacks after the ride. Best part of our vacation hands down!"

"Although we didn't get to go up in our balloon due to windy conditions, we still thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Santa Fe Balloons. The entire crew was great and we learned a lot about ballooning and Santa Fe from them. Would definitely recommend!"

"What a wonderful experience - to ride along on air currents over rocky cliffs, down into canyons, and seeing the balloon (and its occupants) outlined in the crisp shadows of early morning sunlight! Pilot Johhny Lewis kept us all feeling safe and secure while entertaining us with information about the mechanics of riding the air currents, the history of ballooning and a few interesting asides about life growing up in Texas cowboy country. The ride lasted just over 45 minutes but it seemed to go by much faster than that. The landing was so gentle and well positioned - we barely realized we were back on solid ground. All capped by a champagne toast - nice touch!! Thanks to Johnny and all of his crew - we hope to do this again some day."

"Absolutely amazing experience! We loved every bit of the balloon ride over the desert. If you are in Santa Fe, you must go with Johnny and his team…..you won’t go wrong. He keeps everyone safe without comprising on the fun factor. The ride was superb and landing was smooth. We are very glad that we went with him instead of any other operator in Albuquerque. Nothing like flying over the desert and hilly terrain👌👌👍👍.
We also appreciate that he picks up and drops customers back to their residence/hotel."

"Johnny Lewis and team provide an incredible experience. This was unlike other balloon rides I’ve been in. The skill and joy of the pilots as they take people up, down, and through the amazing New Mexico landscape is so very much worth the price."
