Sedona Hot Air Balloon

My husband had mentioned he always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. We always saw them, and he would get so excited. So for his 30th, I got him a Flight. Booking it was super easy. It allows you to choose your top three choices for dates. Love that this one does it in the morning. The pilot was a hoot, and the crew is so nice and efficient. After landing, they open a bottle of champagne and some breakfast items...your just enjoying the open terrain. Its absolutely breath taking. It's so wonderful.

Questions about Tucson Balloon Ride

Question: I received this as a graduation present, and I am a little nervous about flying in a Balloon with no steering wheel! How does a balloon Pilot steer the balloon?

Answer: Balloon pilots are really masters of the wind. It's hard to tell from the ground, but the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes. By ascending and descending in elevation. the pilot can actually steer the balloon. Of course you can't always predict 100% which ways the wind will be blowing on any given day, so the pilot will have multiple landing locations in mind before you launch.
Question: Riding a Hot Air Balloon is on my fathers bucket list, but he uses a cane. Are Balloon rides handicapped accessible?

Answer: Unfortunately this flight is not recommended for anyone with limited mobility. The balloon company asks that you are able to get into and out of a 4 foot high basket on your own. Also, the landing zone is not guaranteed, and you may end your balloon tour on rocky or uneven terrain.
