Hot Air Expeditions

Did you know we give all of our hot air balloons names? 🎈

Not only does it help with identifying each balloon, but it's much more fun than calling them a number 😎

This is SS from our fleet! Can you guess what her full name is? First person to comment with the right answer wins a Hot Air Expeditions swag bag 🎁

HINT: Another name for floating cactus 🌵

Ready, set, go ⬇️

This is what restrooms look like in the desert 😮

Because our hot air balloon rides take place in the Sonoran Desert (typically in remote areas), and our launch + landing sites can vary depending on the weather conditions, unfortunately there is no access to restroom facilities during your time with us (about 3-4 hours) 🚫🚽

For this reason, we always recommend using the restroom pre-flight, so you don't have to use one of these prickly babies for your business 🌵

It sure has been a wild week of weather ☁️

While 2020 brought almost no summer monsoon activity, the 2021 monsoon season is back with a vengeance ⚡

We know it can be frustrating having your hot air balloon ride rescheduled or cancelled + we cannot express enough how much we appreciate your patience while we navigate the weather 🙏🏼

Our commitment to you is to always:

1️⃣ Put safety above all else. We will only fly in safe weather conditions + will not launch a balloon when it is too windy, or in unstable weather conditions.

2️⃣ We will only fly in safe equipment. Prior to every flight the balloon, envelope, rigging + gondola are all inspected to ensure safety standards are met.

3️⃣ Give you flight cancellation information as soon as we have it. Sometimes mother nature gives us advance notice of poor weather + sometimes she does not. Flight cancellations can happen the day prior, the morning of your flight, or out at the launch site. Of course, we always like to give you as much notice as possible, so you can make other plans, should there be poor weather.
