Balloon Rides & Other Air Adventures

ABQ Experts. Ballooning: Tom Rutherford. Visit the hot air balloon capital of the world." Go>>
Albuquerque’s fabulous weather offers the perfect opportunity to take to the skies, either with romantic balloon rides and popular hot air balloon events, or on gliders or airplanes. Or get a pilot’s-eye view of the city and Sandia Mountain from the gondola of the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway--the world’s longest.

A hot air balloon flight is an unforgettable experience, from the incredible sensation of the initial launch, floating into the sky, to the exhilarating feeling of gently drifting with the wind and the thrill of landing. The hot air ballooning capital, Albuqueque, offers superb conditions and is the perfect place to embark on romantic balloon rides. Albuquerque hot air balloon ride comany pilots offer balloon rides all year long, providing an unparalleled chance to enjoy a bird’s eye view of magnificent New Mexico terrain.
 
It’s not uncommon to find a hot air balloon ride company that offers a continental breakfast and champagne toast at the conclusion of your flight. For a real hands-on experience, you can even be part of a balloon crew and help prepare the balloon for launch and pack it up again at the conclusion of the ride. Flights generally take place during the early morning hours, but balloon launch times vary depending on the season and the balloon ride company. Ballooning companies will often work with you to schedule a ride around a special occasion.

No matter what season you fly, or which one of the hot air balloon events you attend, be sure to dress in layers because the early morning hours can be quite chilly, even during the summer months. Bring your camera and be ready for the thrill of a lifetime on your romantic balloon ride
