This was my very first Balloon ride. It was fantastic. Captain Bentley and Pam were wonderful and it made the whole experience one to remember. I felt like we were in safe hands with Captain Bentley. I will do that again. I really liked the smaller baskets. we all had a great view. More

We enjoyed the hot air balloon ride very much. It was so much fun. It's truly amazing up there in the wide open sky. For any of you that are afraid of heights, give it a try, because my husband is very afraid of heights and he couldn't believe it didn't bother him at all. You don't even feel it... More

What an amazing experience! Everything was perfect... Captain Bently and Pamela couldn't have been more professional or kind, the weather more calm, the other passengers more fun... we couldn't have asked for anything more! I was excited to help the crew folding the balloon and packing it, learning a little more about their craft at the same time! (Who knew... More

Took this balloon flight with a friend, we had a good time. The crew was great and although we had a day with very little wind the ride was great. Liked that this company had no more than 6 passengers, although it was close quarters with 6 adults it was not too crowded. More

We had a marvelous experience courtesy of Captain Bentley and Pam. They were friendly, accommodating and informative. The really nice feature of PBF is the opportunity to have smaller parties. We had six on our ride plus Capt B, but we got to know each other well by the end of the morning!! Helping with the inflation of the balloon... More

Loved our trip with Private Balloon Flights! Captain Bentley was absolutely wonderful in helping accomodate us with whatever we needed to make the experience special for us. On the day of the flight the crew allowed us to help set up and inflate the balloon and made us feel comfortable about the flight. Captain Chuck was a fantastic guide during... More

We chose this company because they provided rides with just 4 people. They were very professional and knowledgeable. There wasn't much wind to carry us, so at times we were just stationary and not very high. But, that's the risk you take because they can only control the "Ups and "downs". What we weren't expecting though, was that we were... More

These folks were the upmost professionals in all regards. From the moment we met them at the launch site, everything was explained to us,... More

Wife and I always wanted to go ballooning since attending the Albuquerque Balloon-Fest last year. When we decided to make another trip to Santa Fe, NM, we booked a flight and drove the 1 hour to Albuquerque and could not be more happy that we did. After a beautiful sunrise takeoff, the prevailing winds took us over many different terrains.... More
