Top Turkey Hot Air Balloon Rides

My flight was cancelled due to bad weather. The company rescheduled the flight to next day. The time of rescheduled flight wasn’t same as the one I originally booked due to availability. But it was amazing to see other hot air balloons starting to fly on the way to the site. The magical beautiful moment already started in the car. Preparation and their hard work was also a show. Once our hot air balloons started flying, it was the time of sun raise. We flew over monk valley and red valley. My family and I were mesmerised by the view. My son’s height was a little over 120cm and his head was higher than basket with tiptoes. We were allocated at the corner of basket with small opening on the side. That helped him to lift his body higher for a long time. At the end, we landed on trailer and I was amazed by pilot Soylez and his team’s skill. It might be a little more expensive than other companies. But they are punctual and communicate well. So, if I come to Cappadocia again, I would fly with this company again.

A magical experience and definitely worth the money and patience! Flights were cancelled the first day and we rebooked the next day with fingers and toes crossed. Rainbows Colours crew were wonderful… from the time we got picked up from our hotel to the end. The view from above was incredible and surreal as well. Staff are well trained and very efficient. Never forget to tip at the end…it is a costly production and all deserve a reward at the end!

This is a MUST when visiting Cappadocia!!! It’s simply magical. I’m actually afraid of heights but I was calm yet ecstatic the entire balloon ride. This crew wants you to have the most amazing experience and pulls out all of the stops to make it happen.

I was supposed to go into a balloon in Cappadocia but it was cancelled so I booked this excursion for the Antalya part of my trip. It was very much worth it. The shuttle picks you up in the middle of the night so you can get to the balloon before sunrise. The whole experience was really lovely and our tour guide was very funny. We had wonderful weather at the Pammukale museum area also and had a few hours to explore. We followed up with a nice lunch buffet. I would most definitely do this trip again! :)

The pickup was perfectly on time, and the driver was super professional. The breakfast was amazing, the pilot was excellent, and the balloon experience itself was absolutely insane. The views over Soganli Valley were breathtaking 🔥 There weren’t as many balloons in the sky compared to the main Cappadocia area, which was a little disappointing, but I guess that comes with the cheaper price from this valley. Overall, it was still an unforgettable experience.

On a whim, I decided to look for an evening activity, and I’m genuinely glad I found Istanbul Hodjapasha Rhythm of The Dance Show. It ended up being one of those travel surprises that stays with you long after it’s over. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ The show is top notch and beautifully paced. It moves through folkloric dances from Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, blended with oriental dance and modern choreography, and it never once drags. The structure keeps you engaged the entire time, and the costumes are incredible. The 360-degree projection effects add to the atmosphere without distracting from the performers. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ Every dancer is impressive, but what really stands out is the passion behind it. You can feel that this isn’t just choreography they’re executing. It means something to them. Quite honestly, for the caliber of performance, I think they are undercharging. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ Before the show, there’s also a small dance culture exhibition in the foyer, which is a nice touch and gives helpful context about what you’re about to see. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ My only piece of advice is to make the booking process clearer: if you buy tickets online, you still need to pick up a physical ticket at the venue, and that’s when you’re assigned a seat. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ One performer I have to call out specifically is the man who had a few solo performances, including one where he spun for nearly five minutes while using his clothing as a reflective prop. The way he married the music with his movements was beyond impressive, and I genuinely left that moment nearly speechless. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ I highly recommend this show. It’s moving, energetic, and memorable in the best way.

Experiencia inolvidable. Se ponen en contacto contigo por Whatsapp y te avisan de la hora de recogida en tu hotel. El vuelo genial y bolsa con desayuno, brindis y diploma. An unforgettable experience. They contact you via WhatsApp and let you know the pick-up time at your hotel. The flight was fantastic, and the gift bag included breakfast, a toast, and a certificate.

What an amazing experience! The zipline over the river was absolutely thrilling, and the ATV ride through the trails was pure fun and adrenaline. After that, we took a boat trip down the river with the funniest and most energetic captain ever - he made everyone laugh the whole way! Our whole group bonded on the boat, and by the end of the day we felt like one big team. Everything was perfectly organized, super fun, and full of great memories. Totally recommend this adventure to anyone who loves excitement and good vibes!
