It was an amazing experience. It is surreal how peaceful and smooth sailing the ride was. Glad I got to experience this with my son. It is an adventure that I will never forget.
Oemgeee 10/10 highly recommend this was by far a check off the bucket list… let me tell you my guide was so knowledgeable.. Patrick was beyonnnnddd amazinnnnggg and his partner they made sure all our questions were answered and to be four o’clock in the morning they were very chipper and energetic .. lovvve the atmosphere you guys rocked!!!
We would highly recommend this adventure!! Staff was professional and made the whole experience enjoyable and entertaining. Jesse the pilot was amazing.
The booking process was smooth. Everyone there was nice. It was a bit disappointing getting there at 4am just for them to cancel due to the wind. I cane from Jersey just to experience it. However, I did receive a refund. Nonetheless, still disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry for the disappointment, especially after making the early trip and traveling all the way from New Jersey for the experience. Hot air ballooning is completely weather dependent, and while cancellations are never the outcome we hope for, safety is always our top priority when conditions such as wind are not suitable for flying. We're glad to hear the booking process was smooth, that our team was welcoming, and that your refund was processed promptly. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and hope you'll have the opportunity to join us for a flight in the future so we can provide the unforgettable experience you were looking forward to.

My husband and I did a couples hot air balloon flight with Rainbow Ryders in Phoenix, and it was a fantastic experience.

Our pilot, Kyle, was fantastic. Not only was he incredibly skilled and professional, but he was also absolutely hilarious. He kept everyone laughing and relaxed the entire time, which made the experience even more memorable. You could immediately tell how passionate he is about what he does, and we felt completely comfortable in his hands throughout the flight. A special shoutout as well to Kyle’s brother, Ray, and Chelsea on the ground crew. They were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely fun to get to know. The entire team created such a positive atmosphere that it felt like spending the morning with friends rather than simply checking off a tourist activity. The views were breathtaking, the flight was smooth, and the entire operation was extremely well organized. If you book with Rainbow Ryders, absolutely request Kyle as your pilot. You will be glad you did. Highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a hot air balloon ride.

Great experience from start to finish. Check in was super easy, was told exactly what to expect each step of the morning. Ride was absolutely perfect and our pilot Kyle not only made everyone comfortable on the drive out to the site but explained safety guidelines, points of interest and facts of about hot air balloons. The entire Rainbow Ryders staff is friendly and professional.

Kyle and his team was fantastic!!! I’m sorry I don’t remember everyone’s name but it was such a great experience. Fun, smooth, peaceful. Would definitely recommend and would go again myself.
My fiancé had a blast! They even have snacks and water available. We were lucky to have such a fantastic guide and pilot Patrick. I would definitely suggest it.
