It's that passion, tempered with more than twenty years of experience flying balloons that has helped us become the best ballooning operator in Turkey. Every flight is a fantastic adventure as we float intimately amongst the fairy chimneys and soar over the magnificent Cappadocian landscape. A flight with Kapadokya Balloons is truly "the experience of a lifetime!" « less

This was a well run operation. You are picked up at your hotel and returned in time for breakfast. The crew was very warm and fun loving, the captain of the balloon was a great guide. The views of the surrounding area are great. Being up with all the other balloons is really something special. Really enjoyed the entire process,... More

An early start for this wonderful experience and it was worth every early minute. We booked through a representative at our hotel in Goreme the day before the flight. Pick up at 4am with a 15 min drive to the Ballooning office and were greeted with a warm cuppa and some pastries before embarking on the tour. Staff were warm... More

I had read on TA that Kapadokya Balloons had a great track record for service as well as the flying experience and we decided to go ahead with them. Our decision was definitely the right one as we had one of the most memorable experiences on our Turkey trip I had sent out an email which was promptly replied to... More

When touring central Turkey, one should not miss the opportunity to experience hot air ballooning. It is very beautiful and will definitely be a memorable experience for you. Kapadokya Balloons are your best options and have been in operation the longest of all their competitors. They are not afraid to cancel/postpone a trip if the weather is not right for... More

If you had never been in a balloon ride, go in this one, over Cappadocia. If you already went in one before in another place, than you should go in this one even more. There are the options for the 1 hour trip and 2 hours trip, I went for the 1 hour but when I was there I wish... More

I made the flight arrangements online for my wife and I in July for a Sept. 15th flight on-line. I corresponded with Sevgi Peker, who was very thorough and extremely courteous. I explained to him that it was important that we returned back to our hotel by 08:30 after our flight because we were touring with a group from Globus.... More

Wonderful scenery , the volcanic structures were displayed like a textbook from the air . You could clearly see the basalt lava grassy flat plateaus , with hoodoos at the edges from erosion . The Fairy Chimneys are towers of soft ignimbrite ( volcanic ash) in white , tan & pink which looked wonderful in the dawn light . They... More

Our tour, "Smart tours", was given the choice to go or not on this event. It seemed kind of expensive, a pre-dawn departure, gray cold weather....but it was worth every penny! Our pilot was an accomplished expert, and the landing alone was worth the price. More

First of all Cappadocia is beautiful in it's own right, but get on one of the hot air balloons and you have the adventure of a lifetime. The pilots and staff are excellent, English speaking and you feel very secure. I loved it. Almost equal to Sky Trek Adventures in Costa Rica as being the most exhilarating thing I have... More
