My husband and I had a great time during our hot air balloon ride! I highly recommend taking a hot air balloon ride with them.

This was an experience of a lifetime! Exceeded my expectations tremendously. The group tour even felt private because the basket is compartmentalized so you’re in your own section as a couple! Wonderful customer service! Use the restroom before arriving 🙂

Had an absolute blast and what an amazing experience! Riding up in a hot air balloon was one of the most memorable experiences. Not just for me but for my family as well! We celebrated my Mother turning 50 and she was so amazed! Thank you all so much!!

ArThor and his crew are awesome. His knowledge and experience place me at ease and I felt safe in the sky. Views of San Marcos to Kyle were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking as the sun was rising. Checked off my bucket list but won't be the last time I'll take a flight with ArThor. Cheers!🥂🍾

Over 15 Years Flying Hot Air Balloon Rides in New Mexico
Meet Your Pilot | Art Moller
At sixteen, Pilot Art Möller saw his first hot air balloon. While working a summer landscaping job in his home state of Texas, he looked up and watched it drift effortlessly overhead. Captivated by its quiet grace and sense of freedom, he thought, “Now that would be a much better job.” That moment planted a seed that would go on to shape the course of his life.
Five years later, that early spark became a calling. While walking through Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta Field in 1997, Art was approached by a local pilot who asked if he’d be willing to lend a hand. One week on the crew was all it took—Art was hooked. Immersed in the energy, teamwork, and wonder of the sport, he soon became a Crew Chief for a local ride company.
Today, Art shares his love of flight with passengers from around the world. Each balloon ride is more than a scenic journey—it’s a chance to disconnect from the ground and reconnect with wonder. He’s piloted flights across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Eastern Europe, always offering top-tier experiences filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable views.
So fun!!! Really wonderful time flying in a hot air balloon. We went up 3500 feet. Instructor has a lot of experience with flying as he’s a pilot and we even got some mimosas at the end 🥂
