This was definitely a bucket list item fulfilled for us! Red Rock did a great job. Our pilot, Casey, was very knowledgeable and told us all about the area around us and how ballooning worked. Really enjoyed the champagne toast afterwards while hearing about the history of ballooning. Super cool experience!

Exciting way to see the Grand Canyon
Angela_N, Mar 2023
Our pilot provided a smooth ride. He pointed out interesting features in the canyon. This is an exiting way to experience the canyon.
I liked the music it...
Leah_S, Mar 2023
I liked the music it sounded like Jurassic park and it felt like a dinosaur could come out at any moment
The views were amazing. Seeing the Grand Canyon from a birds eye view is incomparable to driving through the park.
Fun experience

Profession staff, wonderful trip. This was a birthday treat for me, and I loved it. We felt safe and had so much fun!
Best way to see the Grand Canyon
Chad_I, Mar 2023
This was by far the best money and time that we sent visiting the Grand Canyon. There is no way that we had the time or energy to hike or take the mules down to the canyon floor so if you want to see more than just the few viewing locations on the rim, do this trip....
Bucket list adventure.
Laura_W, Mar 2023
This was an amazing way to view the Grand Canyon in a limited time. Our pilot was great. Highly recommend this to anyone thinking about it.

Even though our flight time was much later, the tour operator decided no flights all day.
The day was a beautiful day!
Such a waste.
