Book it!!

Published on Jan, 2025

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!

Published on Jan, 2025

It was so SO fun! I was scared before going up but when we started it wasn’t scary at all. 10/10! Patrick was the best guide!

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

Published on Jan, 2025

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!

10/10 would recommend

Published on Jan, 2025

It is so professionally run. All the teams work together like clockwork, and the end result is a smooth, calm, beautiful, ride in the sky. 10/10 would recommend.
