We went on a sunrise expedition and the whether was a bit chilly. It was a clear skies with perfect weather condition.
The meetup point is located in Deer Valley Airport parking lot. This is your first and last stop to use the restroom if you have to go. You're required to check in and he/she tells you which van you belong to. Once you're in the van, the people in the van with you are basically the people you'll be riding the hot air balloon with.
Our driver was super funny and nice. Before we left Deer Valley Airport, he gave us a short background history how hot air balloon had started. As he reached closer to the hot air balloon destination, he gave us a brief instructions what to do and what not to do.
Our Captain Bill was hiliarious and very nice. The view of Phoenix was amazing. We were so awe and wow by the view so high above. At one point, we descended down and cruised along the way as Bill described the different types of catus that can be found in AZ. We saw Jack Rabbits running around through the desert.... and off we went back high above.
After the ride, we were served with breakfast and champagne. It was a nice touch to end the expedition.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone who's thinking of taking a Hot Air balloon ride when visiting Phoenix.
We had a wonderful time. Thank you Hot Air Expeditions!!!
