The classic Cappadocia hot air balloon experience — a sunrise flight of approximately 60 minutes over the Göreme National Park and surrounding valleys. Take off as the first rays of sunlight catch the fairy chimneys, and drift silently across one of the most photographed landscapes on earth. The pilot adjusts altitude between 30 and 1000 meters to give you both close-up views of cave hotels and panoramic angles of the wider region. Launch site is chosen each morning based on wind conditions. Includes hotel pickup, pre-flight breakfast, champagne toast, and official certificate. SHGM-licensed pilots, EASA-certified balloons, full weather refund policy.

help Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the hot air balloon flight? expand_more

The flight itself lasts about 60 minutes. Including hotel pickup, the light breakfast at the take-off field, inflation, the champagne toast and the drive back, plan for roughly 3 to 3.5 hours in total.

What time does the balloon tour start? expand_more

Balloons fly at sunrise. Pickup from your hotel is around 05:00–05:30 depending on the season (earlier in summer, later in winter). Your exact pickup time is confirmed the evening before.

Is the flight guaranteed every day? expand_more

No. Hot air balloon flights depend on wind and weather and the final decision is made by the Civil Aviation Authority early in the morning. If your flight is cancelled you can move to the next available morning or receive a full refund.

What is included in the price? expand_more

Hotel pickup and drop-off, a light breakfast at the launch site, an approximately 1-hour flight with a licensed pilot, a champagne toast after landing and a personal flight certificate and medal. Flight insurance is included as required by regulations.

Why do I have to book at least one day in advance? expand_more

Passenger lists must be sent to the flight operator and the aviation authority the day before. That is why the booking calendar opens from the next day and same-day bookings are not possible.

How many people are in the basket and is it safe? expand_more

Standard baskets carry 12–16 passengers in separate compartments. Flights are operated with licensed pilots and certified balloons; children must be at least 4 years old and tall enough to see over the basket edge.

What should I wear and bring? expand_more

Dress in layers – it is cool before sunrise even in summer. Wear comfortable closed shoes and bring a hat if you have long hair (the burner is above your head). Cameras and phones are welcome; keep them secured.

Can I fly if I am pregnant or have a medical condition? expand_more

Pregnant women, people who have had recent surgery and passengers with serious back, knee or heart problems are not allowed to fly for safety reasons. Please contact us before booking if you are unsure.

I participated last week. The person on the phone was very kind and kindly helped me with discounts. I think it was an old man. thank you very much. They took care of the reservations for 12 people from start to finish, from the hotel to the celebration arrangements to the hot air balloon tour.

We crossed one more thing off the list. It's one of those things you do once, but the feeling is magnificent.

The landscape is wonderful and the ride in the basket was very pleasant. Security measures were in order. I had already flown before, but this time we went much higher — it added to the excitement.

The prices should be better adjusted for Turks, but it is a great activity in a great atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
