Vol en montgolfière: En Cappadoce

Our hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia was absolutely amazing — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Floating above the landscape as the sun set was something I’ll never forget. The views were breathtaking, with the unique rock formations and valleys looking even more magical from above. The whole experience felt very well organised, and the atmosphere was calm and surreal the entire time. Watching the sky change colours while drifting peacefully was just incredible. One thing to note is that there are no bathrooms available at the balloon take-off or landing sites, so it’s best to plan ahead. It was also incredible to watch the skill of the crew — we actually landed the basket perfectly onto the back of the trailer, which was seriously impressive. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cappadocia — it’s something you have to experience at least once.

The balloon sunrise flight did not happen. It was canceled because of bad weather and one would think the agency would rebook you the following day but they did not. Instead they wanted to charge us over $400. Dollars per person. I paid for this booking many months ago and they would not respect the price I had of $298, for both of us in Goreme. I am very upset because this was not handled professionally.

We had this experience of flying when we were resigned to not doing it because despite booking in advance, with a wind exceeding 6 km / h The Turkish flight authority does not authorize any balloon flight on all the streets of Cappadocia. The first day was faded precisely because of the presence of wind, but fortunately the second day we got up in the air at dawn over the Red Valley and the fairy chimneys.The flight lasts an hour you get up at dawn and you are picked up at the hotel by bus to take you to the take-off field and you can watch them inflate the gigantic balloon that then supports the basket that contains up to 26 people with the crew (a pilot and a collaborator) the cost is exaggerated but given the strong demand the more than 100 agencies in Goreme and its surroundings do not scrupulously and safely at the modest price of 220 -260 euros. Watch out for sites that make you book a month before at almost half price and then give cancellation the day before the flight with the possibility of making the flight the next day at a triplicate price.The flight itself is something fabulous, you do not suffer because it is very slow and without bumps, the view you see is indescribable, try to believe

Subject to cancellation if even low winds. It was 5mph this day but no balloons allowed to fly. WORST part of- announcement of ban was made by gov’t at 3:06am. But operator did not advise. So got up at 4 and waited until 6:10 before I called to only then find out no balloons. When suggesting operator should advise clients if cancelled, got a “too many clients and would take long time” response.

WATCH OUT FOR SCAM! THIS IS NOT A FLIGHT TO GÖREME. They tried to make us pay for a ride in a valley other than Goreme that costs 3x less pcq we paid less than other people! We had booked July 29, 2025 for July 30. Our first flight was cancelled due to the weather (not their fault) but they did not rebook us on the next day flight and cancelled our booking without our Consent. We didn’t want to be reimbursed but to go around. They didn't even tell us we were going to be reimbursed, we have two calls twice. After the cancellation, we rebooked online for August 1. They sent us a message saying that the flights over Göreme were cancelled and we proposed another valley. Here you can book a flight in CAPPADOCIA and NOT over Göreme! Our local guide checked with us if there was cancellation due to the wind in Göreme and it wasn't, they wanted to put us in another valley (or the tour sells 3 times cheaper than for above Göreme). And that pcq we had paid less for our tickets than the prices at the time (it was 260 euros per tour for these dates since there was a high demand and cancellations the days before) and we had paid our 130 tickets per person. Don't be fooled.

I recommend this experience , everything went how i expected, the communication was clear and they were really punctual. The view from the top is amazing

My wife and I had a fantastic experience. We booked late there was no issues. Communication with us through WhatsApp was spot on and easy. We were picked up on time and the experience was amazing and we were well looked after and safe.

The views were breathtaking, this was our first time in a hot air balloon and it couldn’t have gone better. 10/10 recommend!!!
