Stunning hot air balloon ride. One not to miss
Robert_B, Jun 2022
What an incredible experience. A hot balloon ride with a beautiful sunrise over incredible scenery surrounded by another hundred hot air balloons (give or take a few). The pilot showed incredible skills flying us through the valley. We did not give a 5 star rating as the ride only lasted for 35 minutes, not the hour we hoped for and then once we landed the crew did not communicate clearly what was happening.

Overpriced for what you get unless you haggle
Ami_G, May 2022
Good things
The company communicated with us very well, they messaged my cell on WhatsApp the day prior to confirm details and pickup time. They arrived within the given pickup time (4:15-4:30am) at our hotel. We picked up a few others and arrived at our balloon which had already been mostly blown up so we didn’t have a long wait until getting into the balloon. They gave us a bagged breakfast with water and we had a smooth takeoff and very smooth landing. They do sell videos and photos of the experience at the end, they quoted us at 200 TL for that which I felt was a fair price although we took enough photos and didn’t buy it.
Bad things
There are 4 chambers for people to stand in the basket and each chamber held 5 people. This was way too many for a safe landing if we had rough winds, since not all of us could crouch down and hold the handholds. It was also nearly impossible for us to turn or move- we tried to book butterfly balloons since they had a low passenger limit but they were booked. I would say ideally 2-4 people per chamber would be best, although the size of baskets may vary depending on the company (I’m not sure). We ended up paying about $250 per person, but found out from someone on the flight that they were able to haggle the price down to $150 easily by emailing the company ahead of time. We were disappointed to hear this since we felt $250 was way too much especially with the overcrowded basket. Finally we were told there would be a champagne toast at landing, which is actually cherry juice; to be fair I don’t like champagne so I wasn’t unhappy, but just letting people know if you think you’re paying for champagne it’s not. At the end, they made us all wait in the field until we had returned our champagne glasses to the table with an expected tip in the glass. We had to wait until everyone had approached the table to tip before we could leave which was a bit uncomfortable and time consuming.
All in all it was a safe trip with friendly and competent staff. I felt it was very overpriced for the crowded basket and didn’t appreciate everyone having to wait for tipping at the end. This was our only hot air balloon experience so we aren’t able to compare to other companies.
