Your early morning Cappadocia tour begins with a convenient minivan pickup from your centrally located hotel. Upon arrival at the launch site, meet your expert hot air balloon pilot and listen to a brief safety orientation, then climb in to your magical balloon. Enter your basket, each of which holds approximately 12 – 18 people. As you settle in, enjoy plenty of room to situate yourself so you can soar the skies with ease and good visibility.
Marvel at the magnificent views as your balloon slowly floats up into the sky. As the sun starts to rise on the horizon, notice the purple and pinks that illuminate the sky, setting a stunning backdrop to the environment. Look below at the Cappadocia’s signature volcanic spires, plateaus, fairy chimneys, and villages. Admire the unique geologic forces, like wind, floodwater, and volcanic activity, that have formed this beautiful region over millenia.
After one hour (1.5-hour if option selected), slowly descend back to earth, as the formations you saw from above begin to appear closer. Hold tight for a smooth landing, then celebrate your return to earth with a souvenir certificate to remember this occasion.
After a photo op in front of your colorful balloon, return to your hotel by minivan. The day has just begun.
