Hot Air Balloon Rides Over Albuquerque
Overview
Hot air balloon flights over the stunning Albuquerque valley offer an exciting adventure during Balloon Fiesta week. Avoid the crowds and festival hassle as you rise with the sunrise, experiencing the unique Albuquerque Box flying technique that lets you soar with the winds. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Sandia Mountains while floating above the serene river and bosque below. After your flight, celebrate with a traditional toast as you reflect on the beauty of the morning sky.
We're an independent balloon ride operator flying on Albuquerque's west side. We aren't affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating as part of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, and you don't need a Fiesta ticket to fly with us. If you also want to attend the festival, that's booked separately through them.
