From Erin C.

 I surprised my fiancé with a sunrise balloon ride. The first morning we attempted, the wind was too strong so the pilot, Daniel, and the crew were super safe and we postponed until the next day. We ended up ballooning the next morning and it was hands down one of the most fantastic experiences we’ve ever had. Super safe family-owned company that makes you feel royal. They had a mimosa station set up for us after we landed in a beautiful golf field with the mountains in the background.  Thanks guys!! 

 Family run business, awesome company to support! We met in the parking lot before our sunrise ride and drove in a van to a few launch sites until we found the perfect one with low winds. The set up was so quick and they let us take as many pictures as we wanted before and during. We went as high as 9,200 feet and landed with ease!! Our group of 5 was surprised with champagne toast and snacks after the ride. Definitely recommend Four Corners over the "big guys" to get a more intimate experience! 

 We had an awesome experience on our balloon ride 6/25/21 with Four Corners. The pilot Daniel has vast experience with many types of balloons, and ballooning runs in his family. This balloon itself is fairly new. The gondola is a smaller one for a more personal experience allowing 4-5 riders and the pilot. Daniel is very personable and explained things along the way. He is also in constant communication with the ground crew and the other balloons in the area. We felt very safe under his command of the balloon. And he provides a nice treat after the balloon ride. We highly recommend Four Corners for a great balloon riding experience. 

 As a native Burqueño, I felt ashamed to admit that neither my husband or myself had ever been on a hot air balloon ride. This was the year that we decided to remedy that shame. We woke up extra early on my husbands birthday and went for it! Daniel and his crew were on time, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. We felt very safe the entire time, and very at ease. We lifted off at the perfect time to catch the beautiful Albuquerque sunrise over the Sandias and captured amazing photos of the Rio Grande valley. If you only ever choose to do this once, it really is a once in a lifetime type of experience. For what initially felt like a steep price, it was worth every penny and more, just to be able to give my husband that experience for his birthday. Our landing was a bit spirited, and we bounced around quite a bit, but it just added to the fun. We finished with the traditional champagne toast, provided courtesy of the crew. Very highly recommend this company. Because of them, we can be proud to call ourselves Burqueños! 

 I wasn’t sure about going on a smaller balloon ride but after a ride with Four Corners Balloon Rides I wouldn’t do it any differently.  Unless you have a large group, this ride is hands down the way to go.  There were four in our group and it was perfect. I can’t imagine being in a large basket with 12  + other people. Our pilot Daniel was professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. His crew was the best, we really enjoyed them all. The whole experience was top notch - do it, you won’t regret it! 

 If you want an intimate and authentic ballooning experience, this is the place for you. Daniel and his crew (aka his family) are warm, inviting and knowledgeable. This was an amazing adventure for our entire family that we will never forget. I couldn’t imagine doing this with a basket filled with strangers.

At the end, I felt so fulfilled and contented. Daniel and his team made us feel part of the broader ballooning community. And ultimately, that’s what we all want - to be part of something bigger than ourselves. THAT’S the experience you get here!
