About
Floating effortlessly just an arms stretch away from the tops of the fairy-chimneys, fruit trees and then ascending high above the ice cream coloured ravines, this is simply the best way to travel above the valleys of Cappadocia.

The best company for the safe best ride.
They pick you up before sunrise and they take you to there launching site where you can see the balloon getting filed up.
Before sunrise you start to take off and about 500meters in the air you can see the beautiful sunrise and with other 100 balloons takeoff together is the best lifetime experience.
We were one of the company's best pilot with the experience of 10 years of flying balloons.
At the end of the ride you are given a certificate but due to covid no flying celebration champion is given.
A must and best company to fly with.

I’m super happy with the service with Butterfly Balloons have provided, they are super organised and friendly and always makes sure to use best given equipments and pilots for their tours. I had a pick up service from my hotel and it took me to their main office for a little introduce and greeted me with a nice breakfast before the tour. Everyone was super conscious about wearing mask and have signed a document to approve they are not witnessing any side affect of covid, which was super professional. After our breakfast the shuttle service took me the Fairyland where i felt like i was in a different planet, an experience they made me believe in magic. Make sure to take a nice camera with you . Once I got put into the balloon the pilot (Gokhan) introduce himself and gave a little insight about health and safety. Everything was super smooth and view of Cappadocia was outstanding. Around 7 am I have witness the sunrise coming across Erciyes Mountains and surrounded by so many beautiful balloons. This is a must experience in Cappadocia! And Butterfly Balloons was definitely the right choice with their staff of members and customer profile. Thank you 😊

We didn't know what to expect when we booked our first balloon ride. We were very lucky that our hotel manager used to be a balloon pilot himself and helped us in choosing the right company.
Although Butterfly is a little more expensive than others, they limit the number of people per balloon to 16 while others squeeze in up to 28. Therefore, everybody could move around, had a great view, and could take pictures as they liked. They also provided a nice breakfast before the flight.
The biggest difference made our pilot Mehmet Ak who showed confidence and humor, and we felt very safe with him. The day before we heard about possible rough landings, but to our big surprise he literally made a point landing on top of the trailer.
We definitely recommend this company if you are planning to do a ballon ride in Cappadoccia. It's worth the extra money.

This is the second time I fly with Butterfly Balloons, and I still think they are top notch. I went with my husband as this was his first time on a hot air balloon.

This is an incredible experience , and no matter how many times I go up there, I am always in awe of the beauty that is all around. It is absolutely breathtaking. I thank God for allowing me to be there and enjoy the sights. The snow on top of the volcano painted a more beautiful picture.

Our pilot was Ahmet, he was great, had a wonderful sense of humor, and always gave us information about the area. I think he made the ride seem so easy

I definitely recommend Butterfly Balloons, and hopefully you will be as lucky as we were to have Ahmet as a pilot.

It was a dream come true moment for us by doing the hit air balloon in cappedoccia and Butterfly balloons made it perfect... It was amazing flying with them. Especially our pilot ziya, he is a person with full energy and funny, made our flight very comfortable.. Thank you Ziya and butterfly balloons.. And guys, there are multiple balloon companies in goreme, but i can say, butterfly balloons are professional and on -time. They picked us up on time, provided a mini breakfast (which was good enough) and flight started well before sunrise. Overvall it was great flying with butterfly balloons. So go for it..

They were on time, very professional and made an unforgettable experience for us. Pilot Mustafa Bozlak was very fun to fly with, safe and super experienced as we could tell. I will recommend this company besides others because of the type of flying that they do (they can go into valleys and low because of the group size and weight) and because of their team. Thank you Butterfly Balloons for making this the most beautiful sunrise we have ever seen in our life!

After going through numerous blogs, we decided to fly Butterfly balloons during our time at Cappadocia. The flying experience with butterfly balloon was amazing.
The staff was really warm and courteous.
We were served some delicious breakfast before our flight and after the flight we had a champagne celebration. The flight pilot ZIYA was highly experienced. We flew for around 100 mins over the beautiful landscape of goreme.
If you are in Cappadocia and are planning to fly hot air balloon, i strongly recommend Butterfly balloons.
And with Ziya as your flight pilot you're in for a safe and memorable experience.

Wonderful flight, professional team, coordinated work! I was looking forward to my trip to Cappadocia and this magical moment, balloon flight. According to the weather and foggy first booking was canceled, but due to non-indifferent relationship of the company's staff I was lucky cause they changed my reservation for another day and helped me to realize my dream.
After breakfast that is included in price we came to the place and started with another balloons, it was so spectacular and impressive view. Our pilot Ziya not only masterly managed the ballon, but also told a lot about the flight. We flew up and down, at different height, it was incredible to see how the sky changes above different areas.
Our landing was almost as smooth as the take off and then we celebrated it as much as we can)))) with champagne, we were awarded medals and certificates.
So, every step of this journey was incredible perfect 🥰
In case if someone scares, experiencing balloon flight is peaceful and relaxing so it hadn’t even crossed my mind that I’d be scared. All flight and landing went extremely professional and neat. I'm very grateful to whole team and the pilot Ziya, thank you so much for unforgettable impressions and emotions.
Interesting that it's not possible to have much control over the balloon, so you really have to let the wind takes you. In a world where we try to control everything, letting nature takes you in whichever direction she chooses, feel relaxing and trust that it will be ok, best feeling and experience.
Once you’ve accepted this, the air balloon flight is the most magical way to travel.

An amazing time !! We heard really good things about butterfly balloons before booking and I’m
Glad we went through with them and didn’t compromise. Our pilot Ziya was so wonderful with good energy from the beginning to the end. He has 15 years of experience and made us feel super comfortable the whole time. This was definitely the highlight of our trip.

Would 100% recommend butterfly balloons, and big thanks to our pilot Ziya.
Picked us up at our hotel at 6h15AM, then dropped us at their office where we had a lovely breakfast.
We booked for 8 people basket, and I would recommend you that. It might be more expensive than a 16 people basket, but it is a unique experience where you will have all the space just for you (two people per basket) so it is definitely worth it!
We had a flight with Ziya, our pilot and he was amazing! With a more than a decade of flying air balloon experience (from what I recall) you are definitely in good hands (from the take off to the landing.)
An amazing experience on a Christmas Day that we will not forget.
We had a little celebration with cakes, champagne, or orange juice for those who don’t drink alcool, with medals and flight certificate.
We also had lot of fun as we helped to deflate the air ballon.
Also, let’s not forget the whole that was helping the pilot, thanks to the butterfly team!
