What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety is everything. If wind or weather conditions are not safe for flying, we will contact you as early as possible and your tickets will remain valid for reschedule. a year after your cancelled tour.

Is it scary? I’m afraid of heights.

Most guests are surprised by how calm ballooning feels. There’s no sudden drop or roller‑coaster sensation—just a gentle lift. Our pilots explain each step so you always know what to expect. You can also choose to stay closer to the ground if that helps you feel comfortable.

What should I wear on a sunrise flight?

Dress like you would for a cool early‑morning hike: closed‑toe shoes, layers, and a light jacket in winter months. The burners provide some warmth in the basket, but the desert can be chilly before sunrise.

How far in advance should I book?

Weekend sunrise spots often sell out 2–3 months in advance, If you have limited availability or are planning a proposal or celebration, we recommend booking as early as possible.
