What's Not Included

  • ✗ Personal Expenses
  • ✗ Tips (Optional)

Greet the Cappadocian dawn from the saddle. This sunrise horse tour begins before first light, leading you onto the cliff tops just as the sky turns gold and dozens of hot-air balloons rise above the valleys. Riding through Rose Valley and Red Valley at sunrise gives you a uniquely peaceful perspective on Cappadocia, away from the daytime crowds. The cool morning air is ideal for the horses and for photography. Hotel pickup is provided well before dawn, hot tea is served at a panoramic viewpoint, and you return in time for breakfast. Best booked in advance — limited daily availability.

What I liked the most was the amazing view at sunrise. Flying over the valleys and fairy chimneys was beautiful and very peaceful. The colors of the sky made the moment feel special. I also liked how calm the ride was. Seeing many balloons in the sky at the same time was incredible. It was a great experience that I will never forget.

On this horseback ride with Turgut and Ali we had to wait a little because Turgut's horse ran away :) just kidding — it was a wonderful day. The guides were attentive and took all precautions. We will be back next year; the valleys and the environment are great.
