Itinerary
The Cappadocia region of Turkey is the perfect location for a hot-air balloon flight. After complimentary pickup from your hotel by comfortable, air-conditioned minivan, take in views of the Turkish countryside as you head to the hot-air balloon office, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary light breakfast of fruit, sandwich, cold and hot drinks. Head to the nearby launch field and watch as your 100-foot tall (30-meter) hot-air balloon is inflated before boarding the balloon basket with your experienced pilot. Then, up you go! As you fly through the Cappadocia valleys, take a close look at the rock formations and listen to your pilot's interesting commentary about Cappadocia's history and geological formations. See churches and houses carved into the rocks as the balloon climbs approximately 1,000 feet (300 meters). You would be presented with Royal Medal after flight.

Traveler reviews
Excellent Experience with Pilot Gorkem
We had an amazing hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia today and were very satisfied! Our pilot, Gorkem, was excellent. The flight was incredibly smooth from takeoff to landing, and we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Gorkem was also very informative, always explaining the sights and landmarks of the area, which made the experience even more special. The views over Cappadocia were absolutely breathtaking. At the end of the flight, there was a lovely celebration ceremony, and we even received a medal to remember the experience. A truly unforgettable experience — highly recommended!
Unforgettable experience!
The Pilot, Umit, was very professional and gave us safety tips before we started. It was such a wonderful experience. Also the 360 camera he had was amazing. Having a picture taken while we’re up in the air, was incredible! I recommend this experience with Royal Balloon when visiting Cappadocia!
Great experience
Amazing experience! The tour was well organized by Royal Baloon. Everything was well explained, and that made me feel very safe. A special thanks to our pilot, Kemal Söyler, that was perfect in driving and landing. He made the flight a “Royal” pleasure.
Cappadocia Balloon :)))
Our hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia was absolutely unforgettable! We highly recommend Royal Balloon — they are true professionals. The views were breathtaking, but what truly made the flight special was our amazing pilot Kaan. He was incredibly professional, calm, and friendly throughout the entire journey. His takeoff and landing skills were flawless, and he shared fascinating stories and facts during the flight, which made the experience even more magical. You could really feel his passion and experience. We felt safe the entire time and were able to fully enjoy the stunning sunrise over Cappadocia. This was honestly one of the best experiences of our lives, and we highly recommend this pilot to anyone visiting the region. Thank you for creating such beautiful memories for us!
