We came to the Fiesta with reservations to ride early on Thursday morning. Alas, the wind was too high to fly. Got on standby for the next morning. Got there at 3am, still didn't get to ride. Was really bummed out. Decided to take one of the afternoon flights on Friday. Got hooked up with pilot Patrick Stevens. What followed was the ride of a lifetime and displaced all my despair from the early mornings. Such a wonderful time! He took us up over 11k and the view and sensation is indescribable. He was very informative and funny. This experience comes highly recommended by me! Thank you Patrick, the ground crew, and the Rainbow Ryder team!Managed to tick this one off the bucket list. It required and early rise in the morning as we had to be at Rainbow Riders office at 5.45 am and it was a 25 min drive from our accommodation.

Managed to tick this one off the bucket list. It required and early rise in the morning as we had to be at Rainbow Riders office at 5.45 am and it was a 25 min drive from our accommodation. The experience was wonderful and the whole crew involved in the flight were good fun and yet professional. The flight lasted 64 min we travelled 9 miles and reached an altitude some 3,700 ft above ground level. Chris the pilot was very informative and the whole event was rounded off with a glass of fizzy wine following the flight. It was great fun.Experience of a lifetime! The staff was so friendly and knowledgable. The views were absolutely majestic it took my breath away. It was everything I hoped for and much more! Thank You!

I couldn’t have chosen a better way to treat myself for my 48th Birthday than checking an item off my bucket list! The entire process was very smooth; from making the reservation to getting in the air. All staff was pleasant and accommodating. I was able to help get the ballon inflated! Our pilot Dean was exceptional, funny and charming and the father/son chase crew was phenomenal. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast of passengers either! We talked, asked questions and were able to put down our cameras and enjoy the 360 panoramic views...it was simply stunning! We toasted once back to the ground and were treated with snacks and then got our certificates! What a perfect day!I've always wanted to take a ride in a hot air balloon.

I've always wanted to take a ride in a hot air balloon. I thought that my anniversary would be the perfect reason to do so. I am so glad that I did. This business is very focused on customer service and safety. The pilot shared with us many historical facts about the recreational balloon industry and where the ceremonial champagne toast comes from. All around excellent activity. Although it is expensive, do it once in a lifetime and cross off another thing off of your bucket list. AWESOME and very enjoyable.
