You will start your experience with an early morning pickup from your hotel. Board on an air-conditioned minivan and head for the launch field.
When you arrive, meet your experienced pilot and receive a safety briefing as the crew prepares your balloon. Each basket holds up to 12 – 20 people and there’s plenty of room to sightsee comfortably from inside. Climb aboard and feel the adrenalin rush as your balloon ascends into the sky for your safe, scenic flight.
As you glide, marvel at the stunning views over the lunar-like Cappadocia region, 600 meters above ground. Gaze down at the fairy chimneys, volcanic spires, craggy cliffs and plateaus, and look for churches and houses carved into the rocks as you soar over the valleys. Sculpted by wind and floodwater over many millennia, the contoured rock formations create what is undoubtedly one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes.
As you fly, your pilot will describe the sights and identify hidden gems and points of interest.
After roughly one hour, savor the last of your time in the air as your pilot gives you instructions on your smooth landing. Then, back on the ground, receive a special personal certificate to commemorate your flight.
Then the return transfer begins. Your experience concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel.
