Cappadocia Balloon Rides

Our Cappadocia balloon rides are running every day early in the morning in Cappadocia region for sunrise. Balloon tour starts with the hotel pick up. You will have some snack while the balloon is inflated then you will attend almost 1-hour balloon flight. The main reason that you start to your trip very early for showing and letting you enjoy to amazing Cappadocia sunrise as much as you can. At the final, while your balloon is inflated, you will enjoy the little party event with the Champagne service included then drop back to yours.

Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour
We pick up our passengers right from their hotels roughly one hour before sunrise and we bring them to the take-off site. While you are having a light breakfast with tea, coffee, and cookies you will also see the inflation of the balloon for the balloon ride. Following a safety briefing from your pilot which explains the basic rules about balloon flights, we climb into the baskets and the highlight of your Turkey trip will start.

On our balloon flights, we’ll travel anywhere from 2 to 15 miles depending on the wind speed and directions we encounter flying at various altitudes. During the flight, the pilot will vary the balloon’s altitude from tree top level, a height that allows one to reach out and commune with nature, to heights of several thousand feet, where one may look out for a visual sweep, and see much of Cappadocia. Whatever the altitude, lighter-than-air-flight offers a truly unique flying experience.

During the flight, we rise to altitudes of several hundred meters to give you a good view of all that there is around, but what we do mostly is drift through the valleys and canyons and around the fairy chimneys, performing contour flying. This sort of balloon flight is possible only in Cappadocia in the whole world. On landing, we have a traditional celebration party with some champagne, and we give every passenger a commemorative flight certificate written to their names. Then we bring our guests back to their hotels. The whole balloon excursion takes about 3 hours from hotel pick-up to drop off.

Therefore if the passengers wish to go on a Cappadocia sightseeing tour during the day after the Cappadocia hot air balloon tour, they are back in time before then your hotel breakfast and to join the Cappadocia day tour.

Note: The full amount is refundable when the flight does not operate due to the bad weather conditions.
