Kevin was a great pilot. I enjoyed my time and it was very peaceful. Great day and great ride. Learned a lot about Tucson, Arizona because I am from New Jersey. I had a great experience in Tucson.

Floating 2,000-5,000 feet over the desert in a hot air balloon, the 360 degree unobstructed views and peacefulness of flight is breathtaking. Following your 45-60 minute hot air balloon flight, guests are treated to chilled champagne and a continental breakfast in the heart of the desert, the perfect start to the day.

Jonathan Wright & his chaser are a great team! This was our first balloon ride—it was peaceful, informative & enjoyable—and you cant beat the sunrise view from 5000 feet!

This sunrise balloon tour was truly a bucket list experience, and Captain Jonathan made it absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized, professional, and welcoming. Watching the balloon inflate in the early morning light was mesmerizing, and the takeoff was so smooth—it felt like we were floating!
Once we were in the air, the views were breathtaking. Watching the sun rise over the desert landscape was nothing short of magical. Captain Jonathan was the perfect guide—funny, knowledgeable, and clearly an expert pilot. He shared interesting facts about the area, answered all our questions, and made everyone feel completely at ease throughout the entire flight.
The landing was smooth as it can get, and the post-flight celebration (with champagne and a toast!) was the perfect ending to a perfect morning.
If you’re looking for a unique, peaceful, and awe-inspiring experience, this sunrise balloon tour is a must—and I highly recommend flying with Captain Jonathan. His passion and professionalism truly made this adventure soar!

My husband and i took our 8 year old grandson on this Hot Air Balloon ride. It was a little scary at first, but turned out to be a great day. Jonathan and his crew were very friendly and seemed to have a lot of experience.
No bathrooms so you better go before you get there!

The crew and captain were professional, totally competent, and just a blast to be around. In the air there were was plenty to see and hear as we floated alone serenely.
My partner and I both have a fear of heights, but were totally at ease throughout the ride. Since the ride was early in the morning, and fields in the Marana have little or none of the cacti of nearby Tucson, the temperature was nice and our captain had no problems finding a landing site.
