Arizona Balloon Safari's balloon is registered as the largest balloon in North America! It's twice as large and the other hot air balloons you see out there, so for people who complained about how long it took to find a launch point -- if you don't care about safety, go ahead use a different company. The wind is what steers the balloon and if I'm going to be floating a wicker basket, I want to make sure the company knows what it's doing!!! Our pilot Randy and his crew took a while to find the best launch spot -- but we flew during monsoon season so the winds were unpredictable. We were able to eventually find the perfect spot to take off, and when we did, I felt totally safe and reassured. Earl was our van driver and was awesome and hilarious. Randy was a terrific pilot and great air-tour guide with information on what we were flying over. After we landed, we had a fun champagne toast and were presented flight certificates after a yummy breakfast. Totally worth the cost in my opinion, even without the groupon we used! Highly recommend Randy, Earl and crew for you flight. You will be in expert care and have a great time.
