Standard flights are 60-minute flights with a basket that holds 20 to 24 people.
What an exciting start to your day! You will be picked up from your hotel about an hour before sunrise for your Hot Air Balloon flight and taken to the breakfast area for a light buffet breakfast. While you eat, the pilots will check the weather conditions and decide on the best launch site for their preferred flight path. Then we will take you to the launch site where there will be a full safety briefing and you will witness the inflation of the balloon. The crew will help you to climb into the basket and when everyone is happy and comfortable, the moment you have dreamt of begins! An amazing panoramic view will unfold below you as you soar peacefully above the valleys of Cappadocia with its vineyards, and fabulous natural rock formations. Your balloon will reach a maximum of 300 meters (1000 feet) during the flight. This truly is a magnificent sight to see. Hot air balloons go with the wind direction and you will float wherever the wind takes you... but wherever it takes you in Cappadocia, the view will be amazing, the unique landscape and fairy chimneys will open up beneath you. Your Pilot will take you to the most interesting points that he can reach. Upon landing, there will be a Champagne Toast, in keeping with ballooning tradition that goes back to the first flight in 1783! You will be presented with your commemorative Flight Certificate just before you transfer back to your hotel with your heart full of wonderful memories. We aim to return you to your hotel at around 8am allowing you plenty of time to join a full day activity if you wish.
