Top Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Rides

The world's largest ballooning event takes place every October in Albuquerque. Most people enjoy the spectacle from the ground, but the chance to soar over the Rio Grande Valley is something to treasure. Fall offers optimal weather conditions for Albuquerque hot air balloon tours, but you can join a private or shared ride year-round. Albuquerque hot air balloon rides often take place at sunrise or sunset, so bring your camera to capture the light and scenery. To celebrate this experience of a lifetime, flights often end in a Champagne or sparkling wine toast.
