Overview

This tour begins early in Albuquerque with check-in at the Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon office, followed by transportation to the launch site, which changes daily depending on weather conditions. The pilot prepares the balloon for flight by inflating it on site, and passengers may assist with this process. The hot air balloon flight lasts about one hour and takes place at sunrise, allowing views of the Rio Grande Valley as the sun rises over the Sandia Mountains. The pilot navigates according to wind direction, possibly flying over Albuquerque and near the Rio Grande River. During the flight, the pilot provides commentary about the landscape below. After landing, the ground crew meets the balloon, and passengers receive a glass of champagne and a commemorative flight certificate. Light snacks are served after the flight. The total duration of the tour is approximately four hours. Included are a professional guide, the scenic hot air balloon flight at sunrise, light snacks, and a champagne toast. Hotel pickup and drop-off, as well as gratuities, are not included.
