Cappadocia Balloon Ride

"I was recommended to use Istanbul Tour Studio by our AirBnB host to help organize a hot air balloon trip to Cappadocia. All arrangements were taken care perfectly. The company manager was very easy to deal with and he was able to cater to my needs as requested. Our balloon ride was with Royal Balloon and it was a fantastic experience." Read more on Tripadvisor.

Cappadocia Sunrise Balloon Ride

Gliding over the strange and wonderful volcanic landscape of Cappadocia in a graceful balloon as the sun illuminates the world below you is a truly magical experience. There’s no doubt that Cappadocia is one of world’s best locations for hot air ballooning. A sunrise balloon ride over the other worldly landscape of Cappadocia is definitely among the top 5 things to do in Turkey. Nothing can beat this vivid and colorful experience which is likely to be the highlight of your Turkey trip. 

• Pickup from the hotel and breakfast: The day starts early in the morning at around 5am. The balloon company shuttle picks you up from your hotel and drives you to their office where you will have a buffet breakfast . Following the breakfast, you'll be transferred to the hot air balloon launch site which is determined daily by professional pilots depending on the wind directions. You’ll get a chance to watch the hot air balloon preparations.
  
• The flight and sunrise over the beautiful Cappadocia valley: Flying over the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia is a fabulous way to see this unparalleled landscape. It’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Once up in the air the view and the colours are fantastic.  You’ll admire the magical fairy chimneys and valleys as well as rock caves and other formations.
  
• It’s chilly up there: If you are planning to visit Cappadocia between October and June the temperature early in the morning might be a little chilly. Therefore we recommend you take a warm layer.
