Itinerary
• Your adventure will start approximately 1 hour before sunrise when you are picked up from your hotel and taken to the launch area. Here you will watch the final stages of the balloon inflation before getting into the basket. • While you are driving to the launch area, the pilots are busy checking the weather conditions to determine the perfect launch points. (This is one of the things we do differently from others.) • Once the green light is given by the Turkish Civil Aviation authority, your flight can lift off. • Back on the ground, enjoy a traditional champagne celebration and receive your flight certificate to remind you of your experience for years to come. Afterwards, you will be transferred to your hotel.

Check this one off your bucket list! Floating above the fairy chimneys and valleys amongst 75+ other balloons is a memory I will keep forever. Such a gentle floating ride and peaceful surroundings. Tamir was a great GREAT pilot and our landing was so smooth. Pickup and communication were great through the whole process as well!
Amazing hot air balloon tour in Cappadocia\! We had an unforgettable experience floating above the stunning valleys and fairy chimneys at sunrise\. The views were breathtaking, and the staff was very friendly, professional, and helpful\. Highly recommend\! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very good experience. Totally worth doing again. The Pilot Bekir is very experienced and professional. His landing was precise and he several aspects of balloon flying.
Early start to one of the best experiences you will have . Highly professional pilot. Thoroughly recommend!
It was an awesome experience with a very experienced pilot. The weather was perfect as well. Really enjoyed the ride.
I absolutely loved the hot air balloon ride. It was an amazing experience and worth the early morning wake up. I felt very safe and the crew was very experienced.
amazing experience, knowledgeable captain and definitely worth the price. Its a must do when visiting cappadocia!
This is a MUST when visiting Cappadocia!!! It’s simply magical. I’m actually afraid of heights but I was calm yet ecstatic the entire balloon ride. This crew wants you to have the most amazing experience and pulls out all of the stops to make it happen.
Amazing experience, pick up exactly on time, very safety oriented waited to get clear due to weather, safety was explained in terms of landing stand before the flight, amazing views, very helpful explained various areas, drinks at the end
Highly recommend. I made a mistake and booked the wrong date, I noticed at nearly the last minute and they were kind enough to get me on for the next day. Our pilot was professional and made the whole experience fun. Very magical experience!
An absolutely magical experience! The sunrise views over Cappadocia were stunning, and the entire journey was perfectly organized. The staff were professional and friendly, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout. A must-do for anyone visiting Türkiye
Really great experience can take you breath away
the flight last slightly over an hour air time, we have seen typical capadocia landscape, valleys, snow mountains. The balloon fly high and very steady. We also offered mocktail drink at the end.
It was an amazing experience! With every penny. We couldn’t fly the day before due to weather. So we changed our reservation to the next day and we didn’t disappoint. The bus picked us up on time and the crew helped get us onto the balloon basket. The captain was very skillful and had over 17 years of flying experience. At no point did we feel unsafe. I’m very impressed with the whole operation and the government regulations to ensure it’s safe to fly. Loved it! And the scenery over the chimneys landscape was breathtaking!
It was a great and fabulous experience . The pilot was really experienced and landed very safely. It was on time and no delay
Incredible adventure. Great crew and captain. They got us real close and even landed right on the truck. Once in a lifetime adventure (except for captain and crew :).
Great experience overall! Something not to miss while in Cappadocia. Just I would love if the departure was a bit earlier. Since we were among 10% of balloons which started the latest. And like 5 minutes after we take off, the sun rose already. There were also more people than it is written in the description. It says maximum of 28, while we had 30-31. And on the ballon it says maximum capacity is 32+2. So, a bit of false information here. But, again, that's great experience, and if you want more individual flight, then it will definitely be a higher price. So, just consider your prefences. And, if possible, take a corner part of the balloon. You will have a wider angle.
What an amazing experience. I have wanted to do this for so long and it didn’t disappoint at all. A great team - very professional and friendly.
They were puntual and professional in the activity hot air balloon flight. We Totallly recommendate,
Awesome experience, highly recommended it. The landing was perfect and the balloon crew very friendly and helpful.
Absolutely amazing experience from the very beginning. Great seeing all the balloons inflated and taking off. Breathtaking views of all the other balloons once up in the air. Very easy landing straight onto the trailer. A must do if visiting Cappadocia.
Pilot and she whole crew were wonderful. Very well organized and the flight was super smooth. We did sunrise tour and the timing of everything was perfect.
Amazing trip! Very smooth, professional crew, expedient pick up and drop off. I went with my older parents and the crew offered a step ladder and multiple hands to help them get onboard. I have taken rides with other companies that seemed rushed- so was very thankful this one took its time with onboarding and ensuring everyone was comfortable.
Amazing experience! Everyone from the driver to the balloon pilot was profession, kind and gave us a wonderful ride!
Superb! Crew very thorough knowledgeable and we felt very safe throughout the whole experience! Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended!
What an amazing experience!!! We had such a good time and would recommend it to any and everyone debating about going!
This was the most beautiful and unreal experience. Very easy flowing as the ride to/from the hotel was included. Our guide, Emrah, was friendly and kind. Would 100% recommend!
Fast and helpful assistance at every turn. We started with just the hot air balloon and then, encouraged by their service, added airport transfer and a red tour. Bayrum, our red tour guide, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable, funny, patient and engaging without the manic energy or goofy swagger of the other tour guides we saw on the trail.
Once in a life time experience! Stunning views over Cappadocia! Very smooth lift off and landing by a talented pilot who was friendly & informative! Paid for the comfort package, so was nice and spacious! Well worth the money!!!
Was really nice and unforgettable memory. They come and picked us up at our hotel,they take us to the starting point for the balloon flight. There was many balloons and we made many nice pictures,the flight went very smoothly and the landing too . Our pilot was Tahir Özasik , very nice and friendly guy had a good crew who always make sure we are safe. Before the flight they gave us some snacks ,when it finished they gave us certificates and champagne. Thank you very much !
Everything was nice. Everyone was picked up from their hotels on time. Pilot was professional and we safely landed.
The experience was amazing, Had some spectacular views and the team was lovely. We were picked up on time, we saw loads of balloons and we had a smooth landing. The only thing I would advise is they find a way to capture pictures, perhaps with a drone or something as pictures were offered for a fee.
Everything went smoothly, I contacted them via WhatsApp and got a promptly message back. They picked us up at the hotel on time, we had the best pilot, 20 years of experience and pilot instructor, and great crew. The landing was perfect. Would definitely recommend them again.
They picked us up at the Niche Cave Hotel where we were staying at 4am. We arrived at the balloon site, and after a security briefing, we were on our way before sunrise. We were 32 people, but it did not feel crowded. Everyone had a chance to be on the outside of the basket and take photos. It was awesome. A beautiful sunrise. The staff was courteous and very professional. A little skimpy on the champagne after we landed but it was still a celebration. They gave us all certificates for having flown a balloon!
I thought this experience was very pleasant. Tour guides we're on time and very organized. We got to celebrate a wonderful balloon trip with sparking cherry juice at the end. Would highly recommend!
We had an amazing hot air balloon experience with my family in Cappadocia, arranged through Gorgeous Travel. A special thanks to our travel agent, Bayram, who coordinated everything perfectly for us. From the hotel pick-up to the drop-off after the flight, every detail was taken care of smoothly. The balloon was clean and well-maintained. The crew was professional and experienced, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the ride. While in the air, they shared interesting insights about the landscape, which added a lot to the overall experience. The views from the balloon were absolutely magnificent — floating over Cappadocia’s unique terrain at sunrise was unforgettable. I highly recommend Gorgeous Travel and Bayram for anyone planning a hot air balloon ride here!
The best pilot Bekir took us right through the valleys and we had the most wonderful view! It was our first time flying and we couldn’t have picked a better company to go through then Nazar balloons! We always felt safe and the landing was 10/10 🫶
Very professional team and a friendly balloon captain Bekir ed to a great experience. The take off and landing were very smooth and we enjoyed a great view over the valleys. There was plenty of space in the balloon to switch positions with other people so everyone had a good chance to take all the videos and photos they wanted.
This a one time in life experience. Everything was perfect and the captain of the balloon did a great job
It was a smooth experience, from pick up till drop off. We were in air for 45 mins - 1 hour. We were served champagne and flight certificates after the experience. The guide was helpful and made it a memorable experience for us. But it was snowy and very cold, so pleased be prepared.
Wonderful experience with very professional and skilled people. Definitely a must when visiting Cappadocia.
The tour guy was excellent! Very friendly, professional knowledgeable. he was very approachable. If I could change something, it would be the lunch, that would not stop me from taking the tour again. Just need some improvement. Maybe not a sent menu maybe let people buy what they want to buy.
The flight and the services from the travel agent were great. We stopped by the store and Oz provided all the information and help us book the flight at a reasonable price. We were communicating with him very easily in either English or Spanish. Oz continue to provide us the updates about the pickup time using WhatsApp. The flight itself was awesome, all went as promised and the pilot was very knowledgeable.
Great fun, beautiful views , worth waking up early for. 5am hot air balloons experience, overpriced when booking via viator but reasonable when booking directly with service provider
Our experience was beyond great, all the staff were very professional and kind with us. The price was the best one we found in all Gorem. Everything was very smooth and organized. They were punctual, and made sure everyone had a great time. I 100% recommend this agency for all tours around Cappadocia.
Service from start to finish was excellent. Really friendly and helpful staff. Balloon was amazing. Explained everything to you, felt confident and safe at all times. Lovely touch with the sparkling drink at the end and certificate to celebrate a really lovely morning flying way above the fairy chimneys.
The experience was amazing. From the startpoint searching for the tickets until the end. We received the help of Oguz to buy the tickets (which also was the best price in town) and then he arranged everything. The flight was beautiful, and the view… seeing all that baloon from the air was like being in a Disney movie. Highly recommend!
The view was beautiful, my husband and I really enjoyed this trip. We took a lot of beautiful photos and videos. We liked the whole team and the pilot, they were experienced.
If you visit Turkey and don’t do this excursion then you missed out on an experience of a lifetime. They pick you up from the hotel and they are prompt. All the passengers meet at a cafe and are provided with coffee/tea, small cakes and some juice boxes. The views were amazing, highly skilled pilots and they were fun. They took pictures with us and joked with the passengers. We went in July, so no need to dress for cool weather. Suggestion for the ladies, wear pants as you will have to climb into the basket; unless you want to give a free show to the other passengers. At the end you get to do a non-alcoholic Champaign toast and you get a certificate. All in great experience and worth every penny.
