Welcome to Adventures Aloft, LLC.  We were started in 1978 by one of Phoenix’s first commercial hot air balloon pilots. We were also one of Phoenix’s very first commercial hot air balloon companies. Throughout the years, we have given our thousands of passengers remarkable flights with great views of Phoenix, the surrounding mountains and the beautiful Sonoran Desert. We have accomplished this with a PERFECT SAFETY RECORD!  Our main concern is for the safety and well-being of our passengers which is why we have such an impeccable safety record. We are conservative in our flying and will not fly if the weather is marginal even though others may. Although we fly primarily in the Phoenix metropolitan area (both North Phoenix & the East valley), we have flown throughout the U.S.  We fly mornings year-round and afternoons (Nov.– Mar.) weather permitting. We prefer and recommend morning flights as the weather and winds are more predictable and there is less chance of a cancellation or shorter flights.  So for those of you who are from out of town and your stay here is limited your best bet to fly is in the mornings. We offer our “basic flight” for individuals, exclusive romantic flights for couples, exclusive flights for friends and family, in-flight weddings, memorial flights and flights for large corporate groups. We have also added flights for skydivers. You may meet us at a pre-determined location, or we will provide transportation if you are staying at one of the valley’s hotels or resorts. Additionally, we do promotional “tethers” for schools, businesses, etc.. We are a “Firefly Balloon” (formerly Balloon Works) dealer and are able to tend to your ballooning needs when it comes to the purchase of a balloon.  Our equipment is very well maintained and inspected annually or sooner as is required by FAA regulations. All of our commercial pilots are FAA certified and are instructors. Both our pilots and crew have many years of ballooning experience ensuring that your flight will be both memorable and safe.

Please enjoy our website as we hope it will provide you with answers to your ballooning questions. I would like to personally thank you in advance for allowing us to take this opportunity to offer our services to you.

Sincerely, 

Jim Ramsey (“J.R.”)

Owner/Pilot
