Hot Air Balloon Rides in Santa Fe

Amy_S, Jul 2026

10/10 experience

This was the experience of a lifetime! My husband and I had this on our bucket list and this company did not disappoint. Johnny was our pilot and he was a character to say the least, he's very knowledgable and one of the most well respected hot air ballon pilots in the country. Everything was very safe and professional, not to mention beautiful. 10/10 we'd do it again and recommend it to ANYONE who is considering.

What a lovely experience....

What a lovely experience. Manuel greeted us at the door and was a delight the entire time. Our table was beautifully set in their amazing garden. We all loved the food and the presentation was over the top. I highly recommend this as a MUST DO while in Santa Fe, maybe more than once on the same trip as the menu changes constantly.

E-Bike Fun!

My husband and I are from Oklahoma and we love going on tours in new states and countries when we visit to learn about history to feel more immersed in our travel experience! While this is the most expensive tour I have been on, it was memorable, fun, and I would recommend it! Linda was our tour guide, and she was phenomenal! She made us feel very comfortable and safe before heading out on our 3.5 hr trek around Santa Fe. She was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. The tour does a great job at stopping at places in shade for a bit of rest, hydration, and history. I am not the most coordinated or “athletic” person, but the e-bike made the experience easy! Thanks to Linda and Heritage Inspirations!

A great ride to get a lay of the city and learn some interesting history about Santa Fe. The stops were in scenic locations. Good for anyone that can ride at a casual pace for at least 15 minute increments. Really enjoyed it. The meet up location is a great spot as well to grab a snack before or after the ride at the market.

Ana was very knowledgeable and her family has a deep history in the region. In our time together, she taught us a ton—about the the Native Americans and the local Pueblos, how the Spanish came to the region and brought disease and war but also education and hospitals, and how Los Alamos nearby was the site of the Manhattan Project. Perfect for our first day in Santa Fe!

I walked into a portal opening a fridge

The Lyft driver remarked that it was “Disney without the rides”. Have to believe he never went in! It’s kind of amazing because the sheer spectacle and colors, patterns, textures, are sensorially overwhelming; but then there are mysteries and stories hidden within so it’s actually two in one, that involves on both that sensory and cognitive level, not to mention climbing, scrambling, kneeling, and jumping.

TLC Stained Glass Workshop--GREAT!!

Highly recommended activity in Santa Fe!! What an amazing way to introduce yourself to the art of stained glass--Owen was an amazing instructor- so knowledgeable and so patient with us! We made a 7 piece honeycomb suncatcher --the hardest part was deciding on the colors and texture!! There are other beautiful pieces for sale there as well. This would be a great group activity, total time was about 90 minutes--worth every minute!!

History, sites, and food!

Jerard was an excellent tour guide! He was super communicative and met us at the designated spot on time. We started with an amazing historical overview of Santa Fe and then were on our way to stroll through the plaza seeing the sites and discovering more about the city. We had three stops for food/beverages and everything was delicious! This tour was well worth thr money and time.

Great way to spend the afternoon!

We had such a fantastic time on our girls’ trip food tour in Santa Fe! Our guide Lauren was not only fun and full of energy but also an experienced chef who wove the history of Santa Fe into each stop. It felt like we were experiencing the city through its flavors, and we loved every minute. We sampled guacamole, fresh salsas, barbacoa and al pastor tacos, margaritas, and even enjoyed a champagne tasting. The highlight for many of us was the churros—crispy on the outside, yet light and fluffy on the inside, filled with sweet surprises like whipped cream, berries, and cream cheese. Absolutely delicious! Our guide kept us laughing the whole time, making the experience not just tasty but incredibly fun. This tour is perfect for couples, bachelorette parties, or just a group of friends wanting to do something unique and memorable in Santa Fe. Highly recommend!
