X-treme-Lee Fun Balloon Rides

 
Going to Church
 

X-treme- Lee Fun Balloon is a local Gallup, NM owned business that offers balloon rides in breathtaking Indian Country.  For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Leonardo da Vinci

Rise with the sun and float like a cloud. We'll meet at sunrise just minutes away from the launch site where the action begins. We inflate the hot air balloons providing you the opportunity to become involved "hands on" as a crew member and help with the balloon inflation. Excitement builds as you see the gentle giant come alive. At lift off you embark upon a journey of uniqueness. Enjoy breathtaking views of the scenic high desert and Indian country.

After landing, you will receive a traditional balloonist's ceremony and be presented with a flight certificate to commemorate your aeronautical adventure. You'll enjoy a continental breakfast and champagne to toast your safe and memorable adventure. Don't forget your camera!
