I was a bit worried and excited when my husband booked this for Mother's Day ... Always wanted to do this but thought I might get motion- sickness ... I need not have worried ... The flight was so smooth , most of the time you can't even tell you are moving ... It was WONDERFUL and PEACEFUL . The... More

Rainbow Ryders provided a really terrific experience from start to finish on our April 29 sunrise balloon flight. The reservation process was smooth, the crew was extremely friendly and professional, and the views were unforgettable. I would definitely recommend using Rainbow Ryders for a balloon flight for Albuquerque natives and visitors. I'm even considering reserving a trip during balloon fiesta... More

As a New Mexico native (and long-time Balloon Fiesta attendee) I've never gone on a balloon ride. An opportunity presented itself to go up with the Rainbow Ryders and I have to say it was incredible.

I would highly recommend taking a balloon ride while in ABQ! Rainbow Ryders were very professional, experienced and friendly. The views were amazing and I never once felt nervous or afraid.

Thanks Rainbow Ryders - Our trip was AMAZING !!!! It was the first time for both of us and the crew was very informative, helpful and friendly! I highly reccommend this company ! Thanks for the fun time !

Getting to ride in a hot air balloon has been on my bucket list for a long time, and now that it is over, I canhonestly say that I am so glad that I added it to my list. And it's not just the ride ... it is being part of the crew that helps to inflate the baloon and... More

My sisters and I purchased a surprise ride for our parents. Great experience all around. The first flight was canceled due to winds. We were called before we even left the house which was nice. We were able to reschedule for the next day. Brooke was the pilot and he was obviously very experienced. My parents really enjoyed his stories... More
