Hot Air Balloon Afternoon Flight (Shared)
While in flight, soaring 2,000-5,000 feet in the air, the expansiveness of the Arizona Sonoran Desert is overwhelmingly humbling. In what feels so picturesque, the views almost feel unreal. In the distance, points of interest like Downtown Phoenix, Camelback Mountain, Lake Pleasant, and State Farm Stadium (home to the Arizona Cardinals) are commonly seen, as the pilot shares the history of this fascinating city, and points out local wildlife and plant life.
Not only are the views breathtaking but the calm and peacefulness of ballooning is also unparalleled. Floating with the wind, the journey is a smooth one, you’ll hardly realize you’ve left the ground. “Riding on a cloud” and “a magic carpet ride” are phrases that have been used to describe the feeling of gently floating thousands of feet in the air among the clouds. With virtually no background noise, the only sounds you will hear up, up, and away are the clicks of cameras, and rustling of desert animals below, as well as the occasional use of the burner by your pilot.
Duration: 45-60 minutes
Seasonally Offered - This experience is available from November 1st to March 15th.
