In a Nutshell

Trip glides over the Tucson Mountains, Avra Valley, and Saguaro National Park, with a continental brunch and champagne toast afterward

The Fine Print

Hot-air-balloon rides shatter the hawk community's monopoly on carrying humans in baskets. Democratize the skies with today's Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $159 for a hot-air-balloon ride for one (up to a $235 value)
  • $309 for a hot-air-balloon ride for two (up to a $470 value)

Six passengers climb into a basket and lift off into the sky for a one-hour ride over the Tucson Mountains, Avra Valley, and Saguaro National Park. Afterward, they clink champagne glasses and dig into a complimentary continental brunch. Reservations for rides start September 15.

Foolish Pleasure Hot Air Balloon Rides

In addition to her regular flight preparations, Foolish Pleasure Hot Air Balloon Rides’ co-owner Lorrie Ewer sometimes checks off a second midflight list: whether or not her passengers take each other, to have and to hold, for as long as they both shall live. As an ordained officiant, for an additional fee, she can legally conduct marriage ceremonies beneath the teal, pink, and cerulean balloon that she and her husband, Dan, initially bought to fly for pleasure but have since turned into a thriving business.

The Ewers fly passengers over the area’s most scenic vistas, such as the Tucson Mountains, Avra Valley, and Saguaro National Park, many of which boast views of local wildlife. After the flight, guests eat a continental breakfast and sip champagne as Lorrie and Dan email each person a set of photos taken during the trip, plus the phone number of the cloud that stole their heart.

The Groupon Guide to: Status Symbols

There's no point in being insanely rich if nobody else knows it. Boast about your wealth silently with one of these status-signifying items:

Car: A showy car doesn't have to be the fastest car money can buy, it just needs a trunk that's made of glass and large enough to store dozens of exotic, nearly extinct birds.

Watch: Expensive watches trump diamond rings as the most popular jewelry item of the super rich because the vast majority of wealthy people earned their fortune by losing all of their fingers in a fax machine and then getting sympathy money from coworkers.

Lawn: Wealthy people use only the most nutrient-rich and expensive fertilizer on the market—a mixture of damp soil and tenderloin steak.

Bread: Bread itself isn't expensive at all, but when you use a loaf of french bread as a cane, you'll look like an eccentric millionaire.

How many calories are there in a standard walking cane?
