    Excellent pilot, great ride, beautiful scenery from the air. Would do it again! Pilot had a great personality and could answer most questions.

    What an experience! My mom got a ride as a gift for my husband, brother, father and I and we all had an amazing time. I was very nervous about being so high and exposed, but the ride was very calm and quiet. It was great just having the four off us and Buzz compared to the other balloons that have 12-16 people stuffed into them. Buzz is a great pilot with a lot of knowledge and fun and interesting facts about the areas you'll fly over. The chase crew was great too! Everyone was super nice and really let us make the experience our own. My husband enjoyed getting right into it and helping set up and take down the balloon. I recommend Buzz and his crew 100% and would do it again!

    My family and I really enjoying flying with Balloonatics and will choose to fly with them again in the future. Buzz & his crew are absolutely wonderful. They are very professional and create a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Buzz is a wonderful pilot with over 1,000 hours of experience and his crew worked incredible hard to ensure we had the flight of a lifetime! Buzz and Baloonatics are the best ballon outfit in Albuqueruqe and truly care about their customers. They put on a very personal experience and create a day that you'll cherish forever. Look no further in trying to find the right Balloon company. BUZZ and his crew with take care of you!

    Really great experience. I had hot air ballooning on my bu jet list and I'm so glad they made they experience worth it and enjoyable. The flight crew was amazing, very sweet and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend booking with them.

    Had the best balloon ride with Nick today! Have never been before but will definitely do again! There was just 1 other couple in the basket with us and Nick. Great views and it felt like you were floating on a cloud up there.

    Afterwards a tour through the park close by and champagne and a certificate of flight ;)

    Wow!! Just wow! Had an incredible time with Hot Air Balloonatics and Buzz. His crew was incredible fun and professional. Very unique and small operation which allows you to really enjoy the scenery as Buzz tells you all about the geography in New Mexico ... and photo opportunities. Wow. Amazing! These guys know how to do ballooning right and highly recommend this business to everyone. We are from California and could not have had a better experience. Thank you Buzz. You are the best!!!

    AB-SO-LUTE-LY A-MAZING !! From beginning to end...and is there really an ending because the memory will last a lifetime and I feel as if I have family in New Mexico now!! I'm from Ohio and shared this experience with my sister (from Georgia) for her birthday. I can't find words to describe the entire experience but some adjectives would be personal, professional, tranquil, family, safe, loving, fun, fun, (so much you have to say it twice) smiling inside and out!!

In the end of your fly they will have a celebration for you with some champagne, local snacks and your certificate. Enjoy it!

    This experience was so unique!! Fly Albuquerque is independent and community-minded. Our flight…read moreand the whole morning was run with integrity and style. I appreciated all the tidbits and stories they shared. Bravo!

    Since I usually leave reviews, I always check reviews out prior to chosing where i will be going. I…read morewent to Albuquerque for the international balloon Festival and was looking for a hot air balloon rides. I read the reviews for this company, but I also looked at reviews from other sites & ultimately decided to go with this company because I felt that some of these reviews did not reflect the services this company provides. I am so glad we did choose this company. I called them to let them know that I had booked everything for my stepfather, but that it was under my name and they said there was not a problem with that. I also asked if I could follow them to take pictures of him getting in the hot air, balloon, and taking off at which Brittany happily said yes to. When I called it said to text the phone number listed because nobody answered and as I was texting, I got a return phone call almost immediately Brittney was prompt and professional. One thing I've learned is a hot air balloon ride is not your typical type of service. Everything is based on safety, which I am extremely grateful that this company cared so much about safety. Everything depends on the wind as I experience with a balloon festival when none of the balloons were able to takeoff. Did it ruin my weekend,? No! I still enjoyed what I was able to with the festival, but I did learn that you have to have some type of flexibility and understanding that riding a hot air balloon & being able to experience it all depends on the weather and the mental state of your pilot. Both are extremely important. Unfortunately, the day before nobody was able to fly, so Brittany did accommodate those individuals and allow them to fly in the morning, which made it a little hectic. However, we totally understood because this is a bucket list dream for a lot of people and we're glad she was able to accommodate them as well the following morning. It did make it quite busy and a little hectic in organization for checking in however, this isn't your typical service. My stepdad truly enjoyed his experience and we highly recommend this company. One of the employees actually took pictures of everyone on their own phones of them in the basket, which was a nice touch. Then they did a celebration at the end with some champagne, orange juice, and water. Very nice touch & a memory my step dad will have for a lifetime!
