Book this flight
A photographer leaning on the padded edge of a balloon basket, framing a fleet of balloons over red rock spires.

The photographers’ flight takes eight guests instead of sixteen, so everyone has a corner of the basket. It lasts a little longer and the pilot flies for the light: low along the river at first, then up as the sun hits the buttes.

Right for you if

  • You’re bringing a real camera
  • You care about the light more than the toast
  • You want room at the edge of the basket

What’s included

  • A small group of eight
  • About 75 minutes in the air

Questions

Can I bring a drone?

No: drones are not allowed near balloons. Long lenses are welcome.
