World Balloon

5++* star rating! This team is highly skilled! Murray was our pilot who not only cared for our safety and those on the ground but also offered us such an entertaining and educational experience. Once back on the ground, the ceremonial toast and history of ballooning was shared. Thank you, thank you Murray, Julie and your amazing team!!

This was absolutely amazing. Was a bit concerned about going up in January. Surface temps were around 26, but it was actually warmer in the air. Tammi was our pilot and my daughter and I were joined by 2 other couples. Everyone had a great time.

Chris was our pilot. He and his crew did an amazing job and were very hard working out here in the hot sun. It was a perfect Abq ballooning trip to end a vacation on and we're very grateful for the opportunity. Thanks crew!

Bucket list check! Wow what a great experience. If you're scared of heights don't fear as it is so smooth and stable. We get to fly with pilot Murray. He has been flying balloons since he was 18 and he is now ??. We truly enjoyed our first flight and will definitely do it again. World Balloon treats you like family as they are very attentive to your concerns or any questions you may have. After your flight it is history story time with snacks and mimosas. It is a must as you get the air balloon history and why drinks are served after your flight. It is awesome to listen to the difference in the pilots perspectives. Thank you to the awesome crew and a special thanks to Pilot Murray we loved your story telling.

The hot air balloon team at World Hot Air Balloon are amazing! They picked us up and dropped us back at our hotel after a long, fun- filled adventure. We were provided with information related to the ballooning industry as well as personal facts. The light snacks and champagne toast was an added bonus.I would also like to thank Leslie for her great communication throughout the process of getting our group ready for the adventure of a life time.

Chris was an amazing pilot, and the crew were also amazing. You could tell it was a great team. The views were breathtaking. I will never forget this adventure and world ballon's for being so easy to work with and so kind.

We just got back from a balloon ride with World Balloon and I can say that they are a top notch group. We are at the Balloon Festival and wanted to go up in one. These guys made that happen.It was a great experience. They are very organized and professional. I was surprised to see how many people it takes to run. Each ballon had a ground crew of five of six people who were involved with unloading and preparing the gondola, unpacking and inflating the balloon, loading fuel, assisting with boarding and unboarding, launching and landing, refueling, etc... in addition there were people who schedule, take payments, etc. there are vans that pick you up from the landing site, bring in folks for the next hop, and back at the start they have mimosa's and snacks ready for you when you return. Bottom line, that helps explain the cost of the experience.We were able to see a hundred or more balloons from he Festival while in the air. It was a smooth flight. We traveled multiple miles, but came back to a spot that was close to the launch site, landing in a grass field in a park.There were ten passengers onboard, so it is a bit tight, but not bad. The pilot explained everything as we went along... views were fantastic, the flight was quite peaceful... the landing was soft...Definitely something that should be on your bucket list.

Loved this experience with World Balloon!A balloon ride was always on the bucket list and to be able to do it with World Balloon and their awesome crew made it a fun, seamless and memorable event. We learned some interesting facts about Albuquerque and the history of ballooning. Our captain Randy was skilled and made me feel safe despite feeling a wee bit anxious once we started ascending. Murray was an awesome co-pilot also making us all feel reassured with the experience between the two of them. He was also very welcoming, friendly and provided so much knowledge during the whole experience. Can't say enough about the crew who worked hard to get us up and back down safely. They are like a well-oiled machine. Additionally, the comic relief they all provided made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I would 10/10 recommend World Balloon to everyone who was looking to check off this bucket list item in Albuquerque!

We really loved our balloon trip. The pilot Tammie was awesome, her helper Savannah was extremely friendly and took great pictures in our outing. They did not even charge for pictures which most businesses will to make more money.

if you are ever in Albuquerque and want to check a bucket list item off, then sign up for for a balloon ride with World Balloon. We had Tamie as our pilot. She is Amazing at her craft of flying and makes sure you have fun!Brian Mulnix
