Top Albuquerque Extreme Sports

Watch daylight appear above the Rio Grand Valley during a sunrise hot air balloon ride from Albuquerque, and see the first rays illuminate the rugged Sandia Mountains. Take in stunning aerial views and dip low enough to skim the Rio Grande, then rise back up above the desert landscape. Touch town after a 1-hour flight, and begin the day with sparkling wine before returning to your launch site.

One of the absolute BEST ways to enjoy a day of climbing in the Sandias. Your guides are locals and can point out all of the best features and other climbing spots along the way, while giving you the support and confidence to climb in a new environment.

Albuquerque is famed for its hot air balloon festival, so there's no better place to take to the skies. Rather than crowding into a basket with strangers, enjoy a personalized experience with this private hot air balloon flight. You'll enjoy sunrise views as you float through the air and celebrate your experience with an included toast upon landing.

It isn't uncommon for people to fly just one time in a hot air balloon. Why not make it an exclusive experience for a memorable, peaceful and intimate flight? This makes a perfect gift for all sorts of celebrations and milestones such as anniversaries, birthdays and engagements. Expect a beautiful float along the Rio Grande river with views of wildlife and the Bosque (cottonwood forest) as well as a majestic sunrise over the Sandia Mountains.
