Overview

The day begins early as we pick you up from Bodrum in a comfortable private transfer vehicle. The scenic drive to Pamukkale takes approximately 4 hours, offering a chance to relax and enjoy the changing landscapes along the way. Once you arrive, you’ll find yourself at the gateway to a mesmerizing world of natural beauty and historical significance.

In this tour the private transfer service is exclusively arranged for guests of this tour, ensuring a seamless and luxurious travel experience. With a dedicated vehicle and driver, you'll enjoy complete privacy, flexibility, and comfort throughout the journey. This bespoke service allows you to travel at your own pace, making stops or adjustments as you desire, adding a personal touch to your unforgettable adventure.

Upon arrival, the highlight of the day awaits: a one-hour hot air balloon ride. As you ascend into the skies at sunrise, the ethereal beauty of Pamukkale’s white travertines unfolds below. From the unique vantage point of the balloon, you’ll see the striking contrast of the calcium-rich white terraces against the lush green surroundings. The experience is nothing short of magical, offering panoramic views that are perfect for photos and unforgettable memories.

After gently landing, you’ll be greeted with a celebratory champagne toast to mark this incredible experience. Raise your glass, enjoy the festive atmosphere, and reflect on the breathtaking journey you’ve just completed. This is the perfect moment to take group photos and capture the joy of the occasion.

Following the balloon ride, you’ll have approximately 3 hours of free time to explore Pamukkale at your own pace. During this time, you can:

    •    Walk on the White Travertines: Access to the travertines requires an additional entry fee, but it’s worth every penny. You can walk barefoot on these unique limestone terraces, feeling the warm, mineral-rich waters flow beneath your feet.
    •    Swim in Thermal Pools: Pamukkale’s thermal waters are famous for their therapeutic properties. Take a dip and experience the rejuvenating effects of these ancient springs.
    •    Visit Hierapolis Ancient City: Adjacent to Pamukkale, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a treasure trove of history. Wander through the ancient ruins, including a grand Roman theater, necropolis, and the Temple of Apollo.

After your exploration, a delicious lunch awaits, featuring local flavors and fresh ingredients. With your energy restored, we begin the journey back to Bodrum. The return trip offers a chance to relax and reflect on the day’s adventures. By evening, you’ll be back in Bodrum, carrying with you the memories of an extraordinary day.

We booked this tour for our family vacation, and it was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. The private transfer was incredibly comfortable. It was perfect for our two children, who needed a little more space. Our sunrise hot air balloon ride was truly magical. Even our teenager was captivated by the view of Pamukkale from above. Walking barefoot on the travertines was a truly unique experience. The entire day was perfectly organized. I highly recommend it to families.

As a solo traveler, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this tour was fantastic. The private transfer allowed me to relax and enjoy the scenery without any hassle. The balloon ride was incredible. It was a peaceful way to take in the beauty of Pamukkale. I spent my free time wandering the travertines and exploring the stunning Hierapolis. The guide was friendly, and the small group size made it easy to chat with others. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken.

My friends and I did this tour together, and we still rave about it. The private transfer was so much fun. There were no crowded buses; we just enjoyed the ride. The hot air balloon ride was a highlight. We couldn't stop taking photos of the surreal white terraces below. Swimming in the thermal pools and exploring the ruins were so much fun. Lunch was delicious, and the entire day ran smoothly from start to finish.

We had a wonderful day overall on this Pamukkale tour. The private transfer was comfortable and made the long journey enjoyable. The hot air balloon experience was truly magnificent. Soaring over those white terraces at sunrise was an experience we'll never forget. The champagne toast afterward was a nice touch. Our only small criticism was that we felt a bit rushed to explore during our free time. Three hours might seem like a lot, but we had to choose between walking the travertines, visiting Hierapolis, and enjoying the thermal pools. Perhaps another hour would have been perfect. Lunch was delicious, with good local options, and our driver was excellent. While we would have liked more time to explore, we highly recommend this experience. Just plan your free time carefully.

This is an experience I would highly recommend to anyone. It was incredible from start to finish. We watched the hot air balloons inflate, enjoyed a one hour ride, explored Hierapolis, had a wine tasting (I don’t drink, but others said it was good), visited an Onyx stone factory where the information was brief, though I ended up buying a ring, and had lunch. The trip was excellently guided by Nora, who was very informative and kept us updated throughout.

The hot air balloon ride over Pamukkale was truly a once in a lifetime experience, and having Sonny as our guide made it even more special. Watching the sunrise over the white travertines from above was magical. Sonny was extremely organized, ensuring everything ran smoothly from pickup to landing. He shared fascinating facts about Pamukkale’s history and geology with great enthusiasm. His positive attitude and sense of humor kept everyone smiling throughout. It was clear he genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Sonny to anyone visiting Turkey.

Nur was absolutely fantastic very knowledgeable, attentive, and ensured we enjoyed the day. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond her control, the day felt too long, starting with a 1:45 pick up and feeling stretched out. The food was limited considering the price, and we weren’t informed that Cleopatra’s Pool was closed.
