Due to our mistake they rose above and beyond to accommodate us. The owners and staff were very personable and informative. Treated us like family. The pilot, BJ, was adapt at all the wind changes and showed/explained to us the beautiful landscape of Albuquerque. It was an amazing and lifetime experience.

Great Experience

Trena_R, Jul 2025

Great experience. The operators put safety first and were very knowledgeable about the area we were flying over. They kept us up to date on potential weather impacts, so there were to surprizes and answered all of our questions about the balloon. The landing was soft and the story of the first balloon flight was very entertaining. This was my niece's first balloon flight, and she loved it. They also took pictures and sent them to us afterwards and provided us with our flight path including elevation througout the flight,

Lovely ride

Amazing private experience

Anabela_S, Apr 2025

The crew was very passionate and knowledgeable about hot air ballooning. It was quite amazing that they were able to navigate the balloon with no controls 7 miles away and land perfectly at the landing spot. They were well organized and prepared and provided us with a seamless PRIVATE experience that my family will always remember.

Christine_P, Apr 2025

Loved the experience! It was a bit tight in the basket which is just good to be aware of if you have problems with confined spaces. The hosts were wonderful and we enjoyed the post-ride story and refreshments.

Perfect

Jerry_D, Mar 2025

Professional and friendly crew. We had a beautiful flight. So peaceful. Highly recommended. This was our first hot air balloon ride and we felt safe with our pilot (thanks Justin) and the crew. My wife is afraid of heights and she was not scared and enjoyed herself immensely.

Balloon riding with Elevated New Mexico!

Israel_C, Feb 2025

Our hot air balloon ride with Elevated New Mexico, was absolutely magical from start to finish. The sunrise ascent over Albuquerque, painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the special moment I proposed to my girlfriend. Justin and his team were not only skilled professionals but also warm and accommodating, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the flight. The views of the city, Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande, were stunning, and the serene atmosphere allowed us to savor every moment together. It was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations, and I'm so grateful to Elevated New Mexico for helping make our engagement truly perfect.

Amazing dedication

Kenneth_A, Dec 2024

No Fear!

Doray_L, Oct 2024

As part of our Balloon Fiesta visit, having a hot air balloon experience was on the bucket list of our group of four 70 year old high school friends. Justin, Kesha and their team provided a superb, intimate experience. We were well taken care of, with every detail attended to. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Shock the fear of heights to enjoy time with Justin team.

Teria_S, Oct 2024

Justin and family team was the unbelievable awesome and professional. We highly recommend this trip with them to anyone.

An amazing experience!

Todd_J, Jun 2024

We had a wonderful private experience, it was super easy and the company was wonderful! I got engaged on my balloon flight and the pilot was amazing and took videos and pictures for us!

Awesome experience

Janine_D, May 2024

Floating into the sky at sunrise was a magical experience and a perfect start to my partner’s 60th birthday. Our pilot Justin was fantastic and so was his whole crew. We got to enjoy a serene and gorgeous sunrise, got to see some petroglyphs (extra cool experience from above!) and learn some history too! I highly recommend Justin & crew for a hot air balloon experience.

Flying over Albuquerque

Luther_B, May 2024

It was exciting to see the balloon being inflated, and the launch was a great thrill. Our Pilot was very experienced and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable throughout the flight. Our landing was a little bumpy but we were surrounded by ground crew who stabilized the basket and helped us dismount. We had a beautiful flight and enjoyed the champagne toast and snacks afterwards.
