It is an incredible experience, one to be experienced in a lifetime. The whole experience with the provider was very smooth - from pick up to drop off. The ride itself was professional and smooth as well and was above the very beautiful landscape with the view on all the balloons. Worth going to Cappadocia even just for a hot air balloon ride. Thank you so much !

4:10 AM pick up time to see sunrise. 155 balloons in the sky!
Great experience!
Super fun day! Don’t miss!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Waking up early is never easy, but we're so glad it was worth it! Seeing the sky filled with balloons at sunrise is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We're delighted you had such a fun day, and we'd love to welcome you back to Cappadocia again someday! 🎈😊

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!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We're thrilled to hear your patience paid off and that your flight was such a magical experience! It means so much to us that our crew made you feel well cared for from start to finish.

The operator of this activity did a really good job, but I’m not sure it was any different than any of the other dozens of operators doing the Cappadocia balloon rides. No major complaints at all about the operator. The experience itself is absolutely outstanding: the views, the sunrise, the balloons around us. All very magical! And most importantly, the operator felt safe as they conducted the ride.
Pickup and drop off was done efficiently. We drew the imaginary short straw of being first to be picked up and last to be dropped off - and so our pickup was at 3:30; others on the route got picked up as late as 4:20.
Food: When we got to the launch site, they handed out breakfast bags with a shelf-stable chocolate-filled croissant, pretzel sticks, a bottle of water, and an apricot juice box. At the end of the experience, they provided zero-proof champagne-grape juice cocktails and bits of cake.
They probably could dial it down with the 360 degree camera, and then try to sell the video product to us all at the end. It was a lot of “look here everyone”. And ultimately, one person did want one, but they only took cash and it was 35 euros; so he didn’t buy it. In our mind, in this day and age, it made no sense to try and sell photos and videos when everyone has a phone doing the same.

It was freeing, amazing, and I am so happy that I decided to do it even though I had not planned to when I arrived Cappadocia. It is a priceless experience! It was perfectly organized from the pickup to the dropoff. All communications were on point. I felt safe and peaceful while gliding in the atmosphere. Simply wonderful. Thank Rainbow Ballons Team. You are the best!

Beautiful! Great way to see the countryside and become oriented to the area. Guide (captain) was very knowledgeable. I might spend a little more next time and go for the less crowded option as you are really packed in.

The experience was great from end to end. They picked us up exactly on time and the flight itself was great. We had a brief wind delay but that was nothing they controlled - all balloon companies are bound by the go/no-go decision of a central weather agency. After we got the green light they were quick to fill up the balloon and get us up in the air, so despite a 1 hr delay we still got to see the sunset afterglow!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that everything went smoothly from pickup to landing and that you enjoyed the entire experience.

We're especially happy that the timing still allowed you to enjoy the beautiful sunset afterglow. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Cappadocia for another unforgettable flight.
Benjamin_S, May 2026
Great experience even though 3 straight days of high wind cancellations caused the demand to spike and I ended up paying almost double. Make sure to account for such things when visiting Cappadocia.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you had a great experience despite the weather-related challenges. Balloon flights are highly dependent on safe flying conditions, and periods of cancellations can sometimes lead to increased demand. We appreciate your understanding and are delighted that the experience was still worthwhile. Thank you for sharing your advice with future visitors, and we hope to welcome you back to Cappadocia again.

This was our second time in a hot air balloon and it surpassed our first adventure in Morocco by far. The scenery from above is breathtaking- and the balloons dip down into the amazing canyons of the valley, which is an incredible experience to do as well as watch other balloons doing. Speaking of other balloons- there are such a huge number of them that the sheer spectacle of it is mind blowing in the best ways. We felt completely safe at all times, first class operators who run a well oiled machine and everything was just perfect. If you haven’t already been told: book your ride for the first morning you will be in Cappadocia! Weather doesn’t always cooperate and we got cancelled 3 times! Thank God we had a late flight and we’re finally able to go up before we went to the airport our last day. What a send off!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your incredible review. We're honored to hear that your Cappadocia balloon flight surpassed your previous hot air balloon experience and left such a lasting impression. The unique landscapes, close views of the valleys, and the sight of hundreds of balloons in the sky truly create a magical atmosphere, and we're delighted you were able to enjoy it. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the weather-related cancellations, as safety always comes first. Thank you for your kind words about our team and operations. We're thrilled that you were able to fly before your departure and end your trip on such a memorable note.

I was a little nervous because we were later than the other balloons taking off and actually thought I might have made a mistake and booked a very expensive balloon watching tour instead of a ride. I should not have worried. We were just one of the later balloons. Our pilot, Adem, was amazing. He took us low into canyons and soaring high. He even landed us directly onto the trailer-which I don't think is a common occurrence-he is just that confident of a pilot. This would not happen with most pilots so I would not expect to do this if I booked again, circumstances were just right. I do not like heights, but this was such a peaceful experience. Wonderful experience overall.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're delighted that your initial concerns quickly turned into such a memorable experience. It's wonderful to hear that Adem's skill, confidence, and professionalism helped make your flight truly special. Exploring the valleys from both low and high altitudes is one of the unique highlights of ballooning in Cappadocia, and we're glad you were able to enjoy it. We're especially pleased that even as someone who doesn't enjoy heights, you found the flight peaceful and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Our balloons were canceled due to weather, which was understandable. However instead of being offered the chance to rebook we were refunded and told to rebook ourselves. However, the price per person was $156 USD more per person to rebook. My friend and I both really wanted to do the balloons and we are glad we did, however after doing it as we both didn’t think it was worth the higher price. Pickup was great and after the balloon rides we were treated to a glass of wine. The balloon ride was beautiful at sunrise. The inside of the balloon is sectioned off into squares of 4 people (every square has an outer edge). I would recommend trying to get a corner square because the square we were in was in the middle and it was hard to get pictures of yourself in the balloon. Lost a star for the rebooking process.

It was an adventure to remember for a lifetime starting from the picking up to get us there watching the balloon inflated and the pilot keeping us all hyped full of energy, even though it was really in the morning to top it all off at the end we get to celebrate With champagne and have our certificate. It was amazing. Definitely will re recommend It was an unforgettable adventure that began with the pickup, the balloon’s inflation, and the pilot’s energetic and hyped-up demeanor. Even though it was early in the morning, the experience was topped off with a champagne celebration and the presentation of our certificates. It was truly amazing, and I highly recommend it.

Not reliable tour operator (Cappadocia EZ Air Ballons). Picked us up on time for sunrise ballon ride, however, the driver did not seem to know where to take us. Once we finally got to the site, it took them forever to fire up the balloon and the sun was already up when the ballon finally took off. Absolutely unprofessional. The pilot landed the ballon on the edge of cliff field far away from the designated site. Waited good half hour for the transport car to arrive at this remote site. Seemed very disorganized. Viator should not work this operator and also consider refunding the money.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear you felt things were disorganized. On that day Cappadocia had unusual traffic due to a concert, which caused some delays. As for the landing, please know balloon pilots always land according to wind conditions for safety, so the location can vary. We truly regret if this affected your experience.
ROBERTO_H, Aug 2025
A must do when in Capadoccia. Pick up was at the exact time announced. Ina. Good van that takes you to the point where balloon is prepared . Good ballooon, clear explanation and a 50 minute flight over the nicest places of this region. Worth it totally!
