Hot Air Balloon Tours in Northern Arizona

There’s sunrise—and then there’s Sedona sunrise from a hot air balloon. Floating high above the red rock cliffs, desert valleys, and winding canyons, this experience is pure magic. It’s peaceful, panoramic, and unlike anything else you’ll do on your trip.

Most flights launch at dawn, when the air is calm and the golden light makes the landscape glow. You’ll drift silently over formations like Bear Mountain, Cockscomb, and the Verde Valley, with views stretching for miles. Your pilot will share local stories, geological insights, and maybe even point out a herd of javelinas or soaring hawks below.

Worried about heights or motion? Ballooning is surprisingly smooth—no jolts, no sudden drops, and no hard landings (well, usually). If you can ride an elevator, you can handle this.

Perfect for...

• Couples looking for a romantic, bucket-list moment.

• Families with teens (most tours require ages 7+).

• Photographers chasing golden-hour perfection.

• Travelers who love early mornings and don’t mind a 5am start.

Every balloon tour includes round-trip transport from Sedona, a light post-flight snack, and FAA-certified pilots with years of desert flying experience. Just bring your sense of wonder—and maybe a light jacket.
