Northern Light Balloon Expeditions
Flying directly over Sedona AZ land, this company was the first to offer Sedona AZ tours ballooning the Red Rock area. It's also our Top Pick among all Sedona ballooning tours.
We're partial to these folks out of respect for their long-standing presence. We appreciate that they have "blazed-the-air-trail" for everyone else.
Also holding the required Coconino National Forest permit, this is the second, and only other company that actually floats directly above Sedona.
Red Rock Sedona Balloon Adventures has been around for quite a while too. And we think they're also a very good choice. Their equipment is a newer, and their pilots, from what I hear, fly in a way that seems a bit more daring… but rest assured, their safety record is excellent.
We hope you'll accept a big ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE for your interest in this guide and in our beloved hometown. YOU are the reason SedonaHappy.com exists.
