The sunset hot air balloon ride was a wonderful experience. Our pilot, Shane, is very experienced and never once was I afraid. It was so peaceful and beautiful floating around the Gilbert/Queen Creek area. We could also talk to people on the ground when we were at low altitudes, and a lot came out of their houses to see us. The crew was great also, setting up the equipment quickly, and helping everyone in and out of the basket. Everything went smoothly and all was explained thoroughly to us as first time balloon riders. I highly recommend booking this experience, I want to go again!!
