Phoenix Hot Air Balloon Ride

A sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Sonoran Desert is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Arizona. Arizona Balloon Safaris offers one of the most unique hot air balloon rides in the Phoenix area, providing breathtaking views, peaceful flight, and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure above the desert landscape.

Arizona Balloon Safaris operates the **largest passenger hot air balloon in the United States**, offering more space and comfort per passenger than any other balloon in the sky. Our spacious balloon allows guests to move around comfortably and enjoy panoramic views in every direction.

While many companies operate smaller balloons, our larger balloon provides a smoother and more relaxed flight experience, making it ideal for couples, families, and groups visiting Phoenix or Scottsdale.

All of our hot air balloon rides take place shortly after sunrise when winds are calm and the desert scenery is at its most beautiful. Passengers meet at our convenient Phoenix check-in location before traveling with our crew to the launch site.

As the balloon gently lifts off the ground, you will experience a peaceful silence unlike anything else in aviation. Floating above the desert, guests enjoy spectacular views of:

• The Sonoran Desert landscape • Mountain ranges surrounding the Phoenix valley • Native desert wildlife • Stunning Arizona sunrise colors

Flights typically last about **45 minutes**, although the entire experience from check-in to return is approximately **four hours**

Arizona Balloon Safaris has earned a reputation as one of the top hot air balloon experiences in the country.

• Rated one of the **Top 10 Hot Air Balloon Rides in the United States by Fodor’s Travel** • Named a **Best Hot Air Balloon Ride in the Country by USA Today** • Operates the **largest passenger hot air balloon in the USA** • Offers more space and comfort per passenger than any other balloon

Our experienced pilots and professional ground crew work together to create a safe, memorable, and enjoyable experience for every guest.

After landing, guests enjoy the traditional balloonist celebration which includes a champagne toast and the presentation of a commemorative **Certificate de Ascension en Machine Aérostatique**, celebrating your successful flight.

This long-standing ballooning tradition dates back to the earliest days of hot air ballooning in France.
