Board a nine-story-tall hot air balloon and let the calm breeze carry you over Phoenix and the Sonoran Desert.

The adventure begins as you step inside the uniquely woven basket, hear the burner ignite to begin the inflation process, and gradually lift off into the open sky. Feel the elation of drifting thousands of feet over the vast open desert.

Fly confidently with FAA-certified pilots knowledgeable in both hot air balloon safety and the nature of the Sonoran Desert. Here you find the only place in the world where the famous saguaro cactus grows in the wild, reaching 15 – 50 feet (4.5 – 15 m) in height during their 150-year lifespans.

Continue sailing through the Arizona sky as you sweep just over tree tops and watch the sun paint the desert a golden hue. Keep an eye out for desert wildlife such as coyotes and native birds.

Your balloon ride allows for breathtaking aerial photo opportunities that capture the Sonoran Desert's highlights from an unparalleled view. Upon landing, enjoy a celebratory toast and light snacks.
