Departure Point

Return Details

Returns to original departure point
After hotel pickup in Phoenix, you’re transferred to Deer Valley Airport, or make your own way there at your chosen departure time. Once the licensed pilot and experienced crew get your hot air balloon ready for flight, climb inside the basket for the approximate 1-hour ride.

You’ll feel almost motionless as your balloon gently leaves the ground, traveling at speeds of 5–6 mph (8–9.6 kph). Float with the wind on an airy ride at elevations as high as 5,000 feet (1,524 meters). During your breathtaking journey, peer out over the Phoenix valley and enjoy a panoramic vista above the impressive saguaros of the Sonoran Desert.

Exhilaration comes with the sunrise followed by a gourmet breakfast. Upon landing, take part in a ballooning tradition by toasting your aerial tour with chilled Champagne. Then enjoy cuisine catered by the award-winning French-fusion restaurant, Vincent on Camelback. (See sample menus in Itinerary below.)

You’ll receive a commemorative flight certificate and, if you opted for hotel transport, be dropped off in Phoenix to complete your tour.

Our captain Bill was amazing! He was very knowledgeable with years of experience and had a great personality. The whole experience in the air was wonderful. The only downfall was waiting on the crew to arrive once we landed.

hi Courtney, Thank you for flying with Hot Air Expeditions and for your review!

The Captain, Glo, was amazing. She handled the balloon with professionalism and experience. She was personable and friendly and exuded a calm confidence. The ride was incredible! The Crew Chief, Marcus, was so helpful. He actually lifted my 70 year old sister in and out of the balloon, allowing her to have a very enjoyable experience without any discomfort. He was really strong, polite, caring and very charming. I am looking forward to another ride in the future.

Amazing Sunrise Adventure
Joanna_F
, Jun 2021
This hot air experience was an incredible way to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I had originally hoped for a sunset ride, but opted for the sunrise ride instead given we were in Phoenix in June. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. The morning was cool and comfortable, our pilot - Bill - was fantastic. Funny, knowledgeable, and clearly in love with his profession. The Champaign and French breakfast afterwards were such a treat. I would 100% do this again.
