Rainbow Ryders puts safety first on every Phoenix balloon ride with highly trained and experienced balloon pilots, state-of-the-art hot air balloons, and top of the line balloon chase vehicles. Rainbow Ryders is fully-insured with the highest coverage available in the industry.
Phoenix balloon flight decisions are based on current weather forecasts by the FAA and National Weather Service. Our experienced pilots use their years of knowledge to interpret and read the weather at flight time. No matter what the inconvenience or loss of revenue to the company, Rainbow Ryders will not fly if our equipment or skills cannot be safely deployed.
Rainbow Ryders was selected by the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® to represent Albuquerque as the Official Ride Operator in large part due to our safety record.
