Hot Air Balloon Ride on the largest balloon in the USA｜United States

Experience Arizona from a perspective few people ever see as you soar peacefully above the breathtaking Sonoran Desert aboard the largest passenger hot air balloon in the United States.

Your adventure begins before sunrise as you meet the friendly crew at a convenient Phoenix meeting location. Watch the excitement as the giant balloon comes to life during inflation before climbing aboard for an unforgettable sunrise flight.

As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the desert below, gently float above towering saguaro cacti, rugged mountain ranges, scenic desert washes, and wide-open Arizona landscapes. Because a hot air balloon travels with the wind, there is almost no sensation of movement, creating one of the most peaceful and relaxing flying experiences imaginable.

Every flight is unique. Unlike airplanes that follow predetermined routes, your balloon drifts wherever the morning winds take it, making each adventure a one-of-a-kind experience.

The spacious balloon offers significantly more room than many traditional hot air balloons, allowing guests to move comfortably within the basket while enjoying unobstructed panoramic views in every direction. Whether you're taking photographs, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying the scenery, you'll appreciate the extra space.

Throughout the approximately 45-minute flight, your FAA-certified commercial pilot will point out interesting landmarks, explain how hot air balloons work, and answer your questions about ballooning and the beautiful Sonoran Desert.

Keep an eye out for Arizona wildlife. Depending on the season and flight path, you may spot jackrabbits, quail, roadrunners, hawks, coyotes, or other native desert animals beginning their day below.

After a gentle landing, celebrate your adventure with a traditional champagne toast, a ballooning tradition dating back to the earliest days of flight. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available so everyone can join the celebration.

Following the celebration, relax and enjoy a light continental breakfast snack, the perfect way to conclude your unforgettable morning before returning with memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.
