Terrific people. Great experience!
We had a fantastic experience! The crew is extremely knowledgeable and puts safety first. Our flight from watching them inflate the balloon, to the flight itself, then the landing and a champagne toast was all perfect. In addition, the crew is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend !

Ten Miles of Albuquerque
Heidi is a fantastic tour guide. She was very entertaining and enthusiastic! I really enjoyed seeing all of the places we visited. Even though the Rio Grande was dried up at the moment, I still got to ride along the “river.” I would recommend this tour to other people because it was worth the time and money.

Fun Ride!
The team at Rainbow Ryders are kind & professional. My first ride was canceled due to the wind & they were very apologetic which was not necessary. They cannot control the wind. We laughed & joked back to the office & I was able to rebook for today. It was a beautiful experience!! Our pilot Steve was AWESOME!! Thanks for helping me check a bucket list item!!

Daniel and his team were...
Daniel and his team were amazing. Very informative. Our ride was intimate and calm. Daniel has the right balance of communication and silence during the ride. It was just the right amount to still allow us to have time in our own thoughts or with our fellow riders but always available to answer any questions thoroughly but without too much info. Smooth landing. Theresa was very informative and personable. Classy champagne toast at the end. Highly recommend especially for your first flight. You can tell Daniel is experienced both in flight and running his business. 10/10 Operation

The world's largest ballooning event takes place every October in Albuquerque. Most people enjoy the spectacle from the ground, but the chance to soar over the Rio Grande Valley is something to treasure. Fall offers optimal weather conditions for Albuquerque hot air balloon tours, but you can join a private or shared ride year-round. Albuquerque hot air balloon rides often take place at sunrise or sunset, so bring your camera to capture the light and scenery. To celebrate this experience of a lifetime, flights often end in a Champagne or sparkling wine toast.
