An unforgettable morning with Turquaz Balloons!
Such a great experience with Turquaz Balloons! Booking was easy, communication was great, and they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Breakfast was a bit rushed because of late guests and road construction, but that was outside their control and they made sure we got there on time. Our pilot and ground crew were wonderful—the crew even took some fun photos of us! It’s definitely expensive, but seeing how much goes into running everything so smoothly helped explain the price. For us, it was worth it for such an unforgettable experience.

An experience of a lifetime
Experience of a lifetime, words can’t describe how amazing it was! Felt 100% safe and Abdullah was an incredible pilot. If you get the chance to do this you should take it.

Great experience but paid too much
Great experience but the amount I paid to Viator is significantly more than what they charge in Cappadocia. Much cheaper to buy locally - they are reputable and can save you appt of money. I paid approximately $500 for 2 where as they charge about $300 in town.

Outstanding fun experience
From pickup at my hotel to drop off it was all fantastic. The breakfast before the balloon ride was very good. The pilot and other workers just really friendly and great to be around. And the actual balloon ride was outstanding. What a memorable experience. First time for me. So many beautiful photos. Would do it all again with Turquaz. And we had champagne after, got a certificate and handcrafted ceramic keepsake. Definitely use Turquaz. They are easy, straight forward to book with online. I did it from home. Paid a small deposit, balance on the day of ballooning.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.
How much does Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $113 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Goreme is not rushed.
Is Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4,102 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
Around 1,436 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Goreme can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Goreme within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Goreme?
+
On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Goreme?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Goreme?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Turkish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
