New Mexico Tours

Albuquerque is world renowned for its hot air balloon festival. Most visitors only watch balloons from the ground but this tour offers the chance to soar into the air yourself. In a small group of no more than five people, watch the sun rise as you fly over the Sandia Mountains and toast the experience with a glass of bubbly.

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.

Albuquerque is famed for its hot air balloon festival, so there's no better place to take to the skies. Rather than crowding into a basket with strangers, enjoy a personalized experience with this private hot air balloon flight. You'll enjoy sunrise views as you float through the air and celebrate your experience with an included toast upon landing,
