1. How do you steer a hot air balloon?
  The balloon goes wherever the wind takes it. However, the winds at different altitudes may blow in different directions and at different speeds. Pilots can steer by climbing or descending to an altitude where the wind is blowing in the direction they want to go.
2. How high will the balloon go?
  Most balloon flights are between 500 and 1,000 feet above the ground, but balloons can be flown much lower or much higher. The record for altitude in a Hot Air Balloon is 64,997 feet!
3. How fast will the hot air balloon go?
  The speed of the balloon is determined by the speed of the wind.
4. What am I likely to see on my Hot Air Balloon Ride?
  Wind conditions determine the exact sights you'll see, but some of the favorite sights are the Phoenix skyline, the Sonoran Desert, the Scottsdale businesses, the Superstition Mountains, the San Tan Mountains, the gorgeous landscape around Scottsdale and some of the lakes and waterways scattered around the area.

The Pilot and his assistant were great! When we arrived the booking was mixed up and it said only 1 person was going, when the reservation that I made and our gift voucher was clearly for 2 people . Someone made a typo sent to the actual balloon people because of the 3rd party nature of this booking, i think? The balloon guys accommodated us by going back and getting a larger balloon to fit the total of 7 people who rode, not 6. They were great, and we had a terrific experience!

Hi Sharon, thank you for taking the time to write in about your experience. I'm sorry that the mix up even happened in the first place but we are so glad that our balloon company was able to accommodate you despite the disconnect! It's great to hear that you still had a terrific experience even after all that and we hope we will see you again at some point for more fun-filled adventures! Best, Kelsey

Had a fantastic time. Very professional people focused on the safety of its passengers.

We had a great time on our early morning hot air balloon ride. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They answered any and every question we had, and made the experience a memorable one. The balloon ride was very pleasant. I would highly recommend this experience, and I will be booking again.
