10/10 would recommend! We had a great experience from start to finish with our Captain Morgan. He looks like us is in middle school, but assured us he was born in a balloon (he’s actually 30 and had an extensive amount of experience). The views and peacefulness that comes with the sunrise ride are indescribable. I am scared of heights, but would still recommend to anyone and everyone!
Great crew, so much fun!!
Published on Jan, 2025
Excellent experience! The crew was great, easy to talk to and friendly. They made sure the flight was a great time for all and worked SO hard. My family and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Remarkable time! Would do again!

Kyle is the best pilot! Don’t pass up this opportunity

This is Ana amazing experience you should not pass up. Everyone at Rainbow Ryders is friendly and very professional. Everything from check in to the ride was smooth. Literally. Kyle was so friendly and knowable. Plus a great pilot. This fulfilled a major bucket list item for me!
