Balloon Tour
The Cappadocia Region of Turkey
is The Most Popular Location in the World
For Hot Air Ballooning
It’s one of the few places in the world you can balloon almost all year round. Flights are operated in boiling hot summers and snowy winters and the landscape looks incredible in both. While on a flight, you won’t just see a few balloons, the sky will be filled with around 100 balloons of different colours and designs.
Every day is like a fiesta. Don’t worry though, it happens to be one of the most highly regulated places, and has an excellent safety record. To fly here, pilots must train for around 5 times as long as in other parts of the world. The standard balloon tour offers a minimum one-hour flight time in the air.
You will be collected from your hotel early in the morning, usually before sunrise and driven to the take-off site. While you are having a light breakfast, you will watch the inflation of the balloon then get a passenger briefing which explains basic rules & safety measures for the balloon flight.
Then it’s time to climb into the basket and highlight of your Turkey trip begins! The take off is gentle soon you’ll be taking hundreds of pictures over the valleys of Cappadocia. After landing there is a small celebration with champagne you will receive your flight certificate. You will be driven back to your hotel in time for breakfast, a daily tour or a nap.
