Where will you go?

We don’t know!

Hot air balloons have no steering mechanism, so you go where the wind takes you. Mother Nature is in charge. Our favorite launch site is off Red Rock Loop Road, close to Red Rock State Park.

Our Sedona balloon flights are great for both smaller seven passenger and larger 14 passenger trips, allowing us to accommodate all group sizes. The actual number of people in each balloon varies according to passenger weights. The larger balloons are compartmentalized. You can request which size balloon you wish you fly in, but we cannot guarantee your choice.


We do not fly hot air balloons in Sedona larger than 14 passenger, as we believe the larger balloons provide a less enjoyable experience for our guests.


Our aircraft are the most modern and best maintained in the area, exceeding FAA and balloon industry standards. Our pilots are all high-hour, FAA licensed, seasoned professionals, and our ground crew and support personnel are of the highest caliber. This overall professionalism creates a safe and enjoyable flight for you, enabling you to relax and enjoy the experience.

Your experience ends with a champagne toast.
