Albuquerque Balloon Rides

The air is crisp and clear, all is quiet except for the occasional sound of the burner disturbing the perfect serenity that surrounds you. You float majestically somewhere between the dessert floor and heaven watching life drift slowly past below. You take it all in, and think just how perfect this day has become and how awesome this experience is and wonder why you didn't do this sooner.

All Hot Air Balloon Rides include:

•An approximately 1 hour Hot Air Balloon Ride

•A post flight ceremony and toast accompanied by a light continental breakfast

•A commemorative flight certificate and lapel pin

•Oh, and we almost forgot to add, the Memories and Experiences are yours forever!

Visitors come from around the world to enjoy Albuquerque's pleasant climate, beautiful landscapes, diverse culture, rich heritage, and hot air ballooning. Famous for our light winds and crystal clear sky, Albuquerque has long been known as the "Balloon Capital of the World". We are proud of our city and prouder still that our company introduced ballooning to Albuquerque. In 1971, the founder of World Balloon, Sid Cutter, taught himself to fly balloons. He had no idea that his passion would become synonymous with the city in which he was raised. Sid retired years ago, but still loves to fly for fun.

Continuing the tradition of flight, World Balloon is now celebrating our 37th continuous year in business. Our history and unparalleled experience ensures the safest and most memorable ballooning adventure available. We pride ourselves on being the Southwest's original and premier balloon company for passenger rides. We fly each day year round, at sunrise, weather permitting. Our goal is to provide you with a World Class experience that will be the highlight of your New Mexico get away.
