The Experience of a Lifetime... The adventure begins when Above & Beyond picks you up at your hotel at sunrise. From there we proceed to the launch site where the action begins! We inflate the hot air balloons providing you the opportunity to become involved "hands on" as a crew member and help with the balloon inflation, or you may sit back, observe and take pictures as the gentle giant comes to life. At lift off you embark upon a journey of uniqueness. Enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande River Valley while floating in the sky.

After landing, enjoy a Champagne Ceremony to end your safe and memorable adventure. You will be presented with a flight certificate and balloon flight pin to commemorate your aeronautical adventure. Make sure you bring your camera and extra flim- you will need it!

We offer flights year round in Albuquerque, New Mexcio at sunrise and sunset. The meeting time for the rides will vary as the sunrise and sunset times change with the seasons. Sunset flights are only available certain times of the year due to weather.

Reservations must be made in advance over the phone with name, credit card and local hotel. We require a 48 hour cancellation notice or 50% deposit will be taken for late cancellation or "no shows". If your flight is cancelled by Above & Beyond due to inclimate weather, there will be no charge. We will then do our best to reschedule your balloon ride to another date.
