Cappadocia Hot-Air Balloon Ride
Overview
No trip to Cappadocia is complete without drifting over it at dawn. As the sun rises, hundreds of balloons lift together above the fairy chimneys, valleys and vineyards — one of the most photographed sights on earth, and even more breathtaking from the basket.
Your clients are collected from their hotel before sunrise, watch the balloon inflate, and float in near silence over the honeycombed landscape. After landing there is the traditional champagne toast and a flight certificate to take home.
Tour Highlights
Good to Know
Why go
It is the signature Cappadocia experience — the view of the valleys at sunrise from a balloon is unforgettable and highly photogenic.
Pick-up & times
Very early, before sunrise. Exact time changes with the season and is confirmed the evening before.
What to wear
Warm layers and flat, closed shoes. Mornings are cold aloft even in summer.
Good to know
Flights depend entirely on weather and are only cleared by the civil aviation authority on the morning. If a flight is cancelled for safety, it is rebooked or fully refunded.
