Phoenix Sunrise Hot-Air Balloon Ride with Breakfast, Transfers
Your day starts with early morning hotel pickup in Phoenix (if option selected), and transfer to Deer Valley Airport, or make your own way there. Once the licensed pilot and experienced crew get your hot air balloon ready for flight, climb inside the basket for the approximate 45-60 minute ride. You’ll feel almost motionless as your balloon gently leaves the ground. Float with the wind on an airy ride at elevations as high as 5,000 feet (1,524 meters). During your 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. Upon landing, take part in a ballooning tradition by toasting your aerial tour with chilled Champagne. Then tuck into your breakfast. You’ll receive a commemorative flight certificate and, if you opted for hotel transport, be dropped off in Phoenix to complete your tour.
