Rio Grande River Valley Flight
Description
Choosing our launch sights daily makes it a lot more likely your flight is successful. Ballooning is dependent upon the weather and having such a large radius we fly in gives us a much higher likelihood of having a slow soft landing. We offer private flights as well as group flights. We can accommodate almost any requests and we would be happy to do so.
Tour Options
Itinerary
We fly within a 30 mile radius of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We choose our launch sight to give you safest as well as the most scenic flight.
During days that will have a lot of balloons activity we plan our flights in the Rio Rancho area (north of Albuquerque) in order to show you all of the balloons flying for competitions.
One of our favorite flights is slightly south of Albuquerque in a farming community called Los Lunas. There we fly over the mighty Rio Grande river and if you’re lucky we might even touch down in the river to do a “splash and dash.” Followed by a beautiful flight over historic Tome hill.

Awesome experience. The sunrise was absolutely beautiful and the staff was so nice! Would definitely recommend this group.
Beautiful morning and nice flight, but would have liked the flight staff to have been more informative/talkative during the flight.
Trip was cancelled due to another couple not turning up. We were told mininum of 4 people were required for weight reasons. Disappointing as this was our only chance on our trip to fit this in . Full refund given
Sorry about that. There is a “flight window” and it takes time to adjust when a large group cancels. We have to go back to the shop and switch equipment out. There are safety checklists along the way that have to be completed and it can be very time consuming. We prioritize safety and would rather give you a refund than risk a bad landing.
Everything was perfect, as an added bonus they provided mimosas after the trip!
Phenomenal trip! It was great to learn from the crew a before flying about planning considerations, the origin story of ballooning, and local connections working the balloon community. We’re so thankful we found their outfit!
This was outstanding! Brittany and her staff were amazing and super friendly! They are all so knowledgeable. It is a must!
Beautiful gentle float over Rio Grande Valley at sunrise.
It was beautiful! everything went smoothly! beautiful views! we had an excellent pilot. hard working crew. we learned a lot and the mimosa, snacks and history of balloons was nice touch.
It’s a great experience to look forward to, come out and enjoy. Everybody is very pleasant and very knowledgeable.
Actual facts are explained about the experience and rides, I’m still not comprehending on how this works, so the ride consists of where the wind takes us I assume and no alcoholic beverages are served on the rides.
