Taos offers one of the best all-around hot air balloon flights available in the U.S.A. Taos Balloon Rides follow a unique balloon flight path over and in the Rio Grande Gorge, the wilderness and the "high bridge," which is unmatched in its scenic beauty and outstanding hot air balloon flight conditions.
The flights followed by a delicious champagne brunch and include photos of your flight. We fly seven days a week during the ballooning season (June - September).

Kevin 'Wil' Wilbur first caught the hot air ballooning bug in 1995 when he moved to Tucson and volunteered to crew for a local company. Since then he has immersed himself in the profession, training with some of the country's finest pilots, including award-winning pilots Jeff Gilles and Mike Fleury. As an FAA certified commercial pilot, he is also an instructor for student pilots in Tucson. He competes in many various balloon festivals including Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and Chihuahua's Fiesta del Globo.

He has flown in Taos, NM for eight years for both Pueblo Balloons and Paradise Balloons, and now under his own company Taos Balloon Rides. In the winter months, he flies commercially in Tucson, Arizona with his top-rated company Tucson Balloon Rides.

Kevin lives in Taos June-September and in Tucson October-May with his wife and two children.
