Overview

Choosing our launch sights daily makes it a lot more likely your flight is successful. Ballooning is dependent upon the weather and having such a large radius we fly in gives us a much higher likelihood of having a slow soft landing.

We offer private flights as well as group flights. We can accommodate almost any requests and we would be happy to do so.

What's Included

  • Alcoholic beverages Mimosas or nonalcoholic options are available. Only 18 years old and above are allowed to have alcoholic beverages
  • Air-conditioned vehicle

    Tome Hill Park

    One of our favorite flights is slightly south of Albuquerque in a farming community called Los Lunas. There we fly over the mighty Rio Grande river and if you’re lucky we might even touch down in the river to do a “splash and dash.” Followed by a beautiful flight over historic Tome hill.
