Very exciting but calming at the same time. Pilot was knowledgeable and funny, great sense of humor. The certificates were a nice touch too.
Thank you for joining us among the clouds Martin and thank you for sharing about your experience with others! It's great to hear that you had a wonderful morning soaring the skies with our Captain and crew, their years of experience shows in their hard work and upbeat attitude even before the sun rises! We're also glad that you enjoyed taking home the commemorative flight certificates and hope that it will be a reminder of fun times for years to come. Thank you again for sharing your kind words, we hope to see you up, up, and away again soon!
The overall experience was really good, from the initial pickup meeting all the way to the balloon landing. However, the pilot was quite rude when verifying our vouchers at the end of the adventure. After booking the experience through Groupon and receiving a booking confirmation from Hot Air Expeditions, I had already marked my vouchers as "used." Because of this, the voucher numbers were no longer visible. The pilot became unnecessarily rude when asking for them, which was a disappointing end to a great trip.
Book your adventure early in the week because we were canceled, because of wind,on the day we scheduled, but were able to squeeze it in on the next day. Our Pilot Tommy was amazing. Very professional and also fun. He took time to make sure we were comfortable & felt safe. This was an incredible ride…so peaceful and beautiful! The breakfast was delicious and they even accommodated me with a gluten-free muffin. The basket was a little tough to get in and out of, but I did it even with a bad knee and one knee replacement. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We’re happy to hear that you had a wonderful hot air balloon experience thanks to the hard work of Captain Tommy and his crew! It’s great that you were able to fly with us even though your first flight had to be cancelled due to weather, and we always recommend booking early in your trip for this exact reason. It’s also great to hear that Captain Tommy made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire flight so you could focus on enjoying the beautiful views. We’re happy that you enjoyed the post flight breakfast and bubbly, including the yummy gluten-free muffin, and it’s great that you were able to get in and out of the basket with not too much difficulty. Thank you again for flying with us and sharing your kind words, we hope to see you up, up, and away again soon!

I was headed to a conference and booked this last minute on the flight into Phoenix. I’m so glad I was able to cross off a bucket list item during this short trip! The team at Hot Air Expeditions was so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Captain Don has so much experience and was so funny with his stories. I would highly recommend this company!
