Real experiences from real travelers
Absolutely the highlight of our Turkey trip. The pilot was professional and the views were tears-in-your-eyes beautiful. Worth every penny.
I was nervous about heights, but the takeoff was so smooth I didn't even notice. The champagne toast at the end was a nice touch.
The views are stunning, but definitely dress warmer than you think! It was freezing up there. The organization was perfect though.
We booked the deluxe flight with fewer people. It was intimate and perfect for photography. The pickup was on time and the van was comfortable.
We were lucky with the weather. Seeing 150 balloons rise together is indescribable. Book for your first morning in case of cancellations!
4 AM pickup is brutal but worth it. The breakfast provided was simple (coffee and cake), so maybe eat something small before.
The landing was incredibly smooth, right on the trailer! These pilots are true experts. Highly recommend booking in advance.
The landscape looks like another planet. I took amazing photos. The guide spoke good English and explained the geology well.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, it is statistically one of the safest places to fly. The Turkish Civil Aviation Authority strictly monitors all flights and weather conditions.
You will receive a full 100% refund. We strongly recommend booking your flight for your first morning in Cappadocia so you have backup days to reschedule if needed.
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance, and months ahead for peak seasons (April-June and Sept-Oct).
The best weather is in Spring (April-June) and Autumn (Sept-Nov). Winter offers snowy views but has a higher cancellation rate.
Children must be at least 6 years old. Pregnant women are not permitted to fly due to safety regulations regarding potential bumpy landings.
Wear layers as it is very cold before sunrise but warms up. Wear flat, closed-toe shoes (no heels) and a hat to protect your head from the burner heat.
Balloons typically fly anywhere from tree-level to 3,000 feet (900 meters), depending on wind currents and pilot discretion.
The balloon travels with the wind, so the landing site varies daily. A chase vehicle follows the balloon to pick you up wherever you land.
Yes, round-trip transfers from hotels in Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, and Avanos are included in almost all tour packages.
