What to Expect on Your Balloon Tour
Your adventure begins before dawn, as we transport you to the launch site while the desert stars still shimmer above. Watch as the crew inflates the massive, colorful balloon, glowing against the early morning sky. Once aboard, the flame ignites and the balloon rises, lifting you gently into the open air.
During the flight, you’ll glide silently over Monument Valley, drifting between mesas and buttes, with panoramic views stretching for miles. Look down to see winding trails, hidden canyons, and desert wildlife. Look out to the horizon and witness the timeless landscape that has inspired generations.
Each flight lasts about 60–90 minutes, depending on weather conditions, and is followed by a soft landing and a celebratory moment on the desert floor.
