StrangeKind made my bucket list experience even more memorable! We booked a private flight and it was perfection from start to finish. Adam, our pilot, was top notch! The entire crew was fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. You could tell they loved what they do and enjoyed sharing that passion with others. I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful experience. I 100% recommend StrangeKind and would absolutely fly with them again.

Your experience begins at 6:00 AM at El Verde Inn, where our team will greet you and provide restrooms, light snacks, and private ground transportation to the best available launch site chosen the morning of your flight based on current weather and wind conditions. Unlike our shared flights, this experience is completely private from start to finish: no strangers, no distractions — just you, your loved ones, and your pilot. Before takeoff, you’ll witness the mesmerizing inflation of your balloon and receive a safety orientation from a FAA-Certified Pilot. Once airborne, you’ll rise peacefully above the Rio Grande Valley, taking in sweeping views of Albuquerque’s high desert beauty — from the rugged Sandia Mountains to the soft curves of the river below.
