Balloon Rides
We offer three distinct types of balloon rides:
- Champagne Flight
- Exclusive Flight
- City Lights Voyage
- Balloon Festival
Champagne Flight : $160.00/Adult, $125.00/Child
The Champagne Flight is our most popular flight. It is a one hour excursion
conducted in a balloon that can carry up to 12 passengers. Your adventure
will take place over the course of approximately three to three and one
half hours beginning with you arriving at
the launch site in time to inflate the balloon while enjoying a beautiful
New Mexico sunrise over the Sandia Mountains. Then, shortly after sunrise,
we will lift off for a peaceful journey down the Rio Grande Valley. The
unique aerial view of the valley is unforgettable! After your flight, when
your feet find their way back to earth, the crew will meet you, and help
you celebrate your voyage with the traditional champagne toast, light continental
breakfast, commemorative flight certificate suitable for framing, a commemorative
lapel pin, and memories to last a lifetime. Reserve your Albuquerque
Champagne Balloon Flight Now
Exclusive Flight : $250.00/Adult, $200.00/Child *
There might be times when your balloon ride signifies
a special event in your lives that you do not wish to share with others.
Perhaps your flight will include a marriage proposal, a wedding ceremony,
a special family reunion, an anniversary, or any special occasion.
For these special times, you may want to consider an Exclusive Flight. While
an exclusive flight has all the amenities of the Champagne flight, you will
only share the experience with those whom you choose. The balloon will be
reserved solely for your use. After your flight, when your feet find their
way back to earth, the crew will meet you, and help you celebrate your voyage
with the traditional champagne toast, light continental breakfast, commemorative
flight certificate suitable for framing, a commemorative lapel pin,
and memories to last a lifetime. Reserve

City Lights Voyage : $300.00/Adult, $275.00/Child
Before the city awakens, our City Lights Voyage provides the unique opportunity to see the stars, city lights, and
sunrise from the balloon. Your adventure begins much as the Champagne flight,
except that we begin in the pre-dawn hours while the city still slumbers.
As we fly down the valley, you will watch as the city comes to life! Every
time the pilot lights the burner, your balloon will light up like a giant
multi-colored light bulb. We will land only after the sun has risen and the
day has begun! After your flight, when your feet find their way back to earth,
the crew will meet you, and help you celebrate your voyage with the
traditional champagne toast, light continental breakfast, commemorative flight
certificate suitable for framing, a commemorative lapel pin, and memories
to last a lifetime. Reserve

Albuquerque Balloon Rides are memory making events.
After meeting and checking in at our launch site, we will assemble and inflate the gentle giant and begin our balloon
ride. Everyone has a different idea about this portion of the flight. Some
people want to help inflate the balloon, some just want to watch. Either
way is fine with us. It's all about building memories and ensuring you
have an experience that will last a lifetime.
After
spending about an hour in the air enjoying the tranquility and serenity
of lighter-than-air flight, we will land and pack up the balloon and return
to a local park to begin our post flight festivities.
Once
at a park, a celebration of our event awaits with a champagne toast, juice,
a light continental breakfast, a commemorative flight certificate and lapel
pin, and a brief history lesson about the origins of both modern Hot Air
Ballooning, and Champagne's involvement with ballooning.
While the flight's festivities might end there, we assure you the memories will last a lifetime and you will be telling your friends about your flight for years to come, never looking at a calm blue sky quite the same way again.
Natalie Grant, her band, and several other guests recently joined us for
a morning balloon ride over Albuquerque and created this video about their
flight. Don't take our word for how much fun she had, just watch her video.
