Peaceful - The views were amazing and the ride was very peaceful. Patrick was a great guide and kept my group entertained the entire ride. Glad that I got to cross this experience off of my bucket list!

Great Family Experience - Our polit Patrick was awesome. Me and my family felt safe and had a wonderful time. He provided education and answered questions. We had a smooth landing and I enjoyed the champagne toast.

10 out of 10 - Thank you Rainbow Ryders for a memorable day. A true breath taking experience! It was an amazing adventure. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Our pilot, Jesse R., was PHENOMENAL! Jesse is extremely experienced, knowledgeable and funny. If there is one area he lacks in it’s check in (he asked us to say this…LOL) If you are in the area I highly recommend the ride.

Sunrise Ride! - Bucket list item (COMPLETED)
What an amazing experience! I honestly can't believe I conquered one of my fears! The weather was perfect, and seeing the sunrise was pretty spectacular.
Patrick was our pilot for my group. He kept us laughing, answering any of our questions, and had such an amazing spirit.
I came solo and everyone was accommodating to taking my picture when I asked. That was really helpful. Everyone is there to have a good time!
After the ride was over we had champagne to finish us off! CHEERS! And they had snacks for us before leaving which was nice!
The only con I would say is that I paid for the $15 pin and flute combo, and never received it afterwards. :(
Other than that I would recommend anyone to take a ride in the sky with this business!
