There are few pleasures as grand as drifting slowly over the earth in an open basket. It's romantic. It's breathtaking. It's a journey you'll never forget. It's a world
filled with beauty, excitement and adventure. A balloon ride is a thrill that's indescribable. The silent
beauty of floating hundreds of feet over the beautiful Rio Grande Valley watching the city awaken below
as the sun slowly rises and warms mother earth. Your adventure will begin by watching the crew unload,
assemble and do a complete safety inspection of the balloon. Meanwhile as the "gentle giant" comes to life,
your pilot who is FAA licensed and insured will give you a safety briefing and tell you what to expect
on your adventure and answer any of your questions. Next you'll board the traditional hand crafted
wicker basket.Your flight then starts, not by the basket going up but by the ground slowly slipping away as you escape the confines of earths gravity. In the air as you're floating over the Albuquerque valley in your big beautiful balloon your pilot will explain the secrets of mans first flight. Your pilot will identify points of interest. You'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the Rio Grande river and valley, the ancient volcanoes and wildlife below. And send greetings to earthbound folks below. While you are aloft your dependable ground crew constantly tracks your flight and is in radio communication with the pilot. Your flight will last approximately one hour, depending on weather, direction of flight and available landing sites. Upon landing the ground crew will be there and will demonstrate one of the biggest mysteries of ballooning. Getting that great big balloon into that itty-bitty bag. But your adventure is not over. After being escorted back to your origional launch site, with glasses held high, your pilot and ground crew will initiate you into the aeronaut society with a traditional champagne ceremony and champagne breakfast and the handing out of balloon memorabilia. Also remember for that person who has everything, a balloon ride makes a great gift. So for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings, or any special occasion GIFT CERTIFICATES are available.
