Balloon Flight Discription
At
highest flight levels you will experience the panorama
of the desert and mountain terrain stretching out for
100 miles in all directions. Changing altitude brings
different wind currents used to "steer" the
balloon. We float close to the ground to skim over the
unique plant life such as the giant Saguaro cactus and
Palo Verde Trees. We often see coyotes, jack rabbits,
desert mule deer, and even javelinas... animals that are
normally too shy to let you approach when you are walking
on the ground.

and foremost, a safe memorable experience.
Crew
The most personable, professional, uniformed
and experienced in the valley.
Clean Modern Vehicles and Balloons.
Clothing
The temperature in the balloon basket is no colder than
the temperature on the ground if not warmer. The balloon
moves with the wind so there is not any wind chill factor.
We recomend an athletic shoe, NO SANDALS, HEELS or FLIP
FLOPS. Our flights are out in the desert full of rocks,
dirt, cactus, sticks and other things that can hurt your
feet. Sometimes guests get all drerssed up for this elegant
excursion. The balloons are dusty and you will get a little
dirty. We recomend you dress in layers as if you were
going on a day hike. Sunglasses, a sweatshirt and a baseball
hat is sufficient. Some guests say the radiant heat from
the burners is warm on their heads.
Time
Plan to meet us at the appointed time. Please do not be
late and there is no need to be early. Your balloon ride
will be 45 minutes. Depending on the day, we land when
it is most prudent for safety reasons. Total activity
time is three to four hours. This includes transportation
time to and from the field, time to assemble and inflate
the balloon, flight time, pack up of the balloon, party
in the field and transport back to your cars. Most flights
are done in 3 hours but can take as long as 4 hours. No
two flights are ever the same.
Number
of Guests on each flight The balloons hold between 4 and 12 guests depending
on bookings and guest weights. You will be asked to provide
approximate weights of all passengers. We do have a four
guest minimum in order to fly. Most parties book in groups
of two. Most days this is not an issue altohough we do
recomend you book early as some days do sell out.
Cancelleation
and Booking
All flights are confirmed and paid for 48 hours in advance.
Cell phone number or telephone number where we can reach
you at 3:00 in the morning are required.
Depending
on the time of the year, the time of day or other unforeseen
circumstances, we are not always able to offer all tours
every day. All tours require a minimum number of passengers.
We will make every effort to accomodate all guests, but
may ask for some flexibility on your part by having alternate
days/times available.
Thank
you for your business and we look forward to providing
your best...
