The World Balloon flight adventures in Albuquerque, New Mexico, start at sunrise. You will arrive at the launch site just in time to watch the balloon inflate. As the sun rises over the Sandia Mountains, the balloon will take off for a peaceful journey down the Rio Grande Valley, which will last approximately one hour. After your flight, the World Balloon crew will greet you when you land back on the ground. They will help you celebrate your voyage with a traditional champagne toast, light snack, commemorative flight certificate suitable for framing, and memories that will last a lifetime.
