Overview

Our Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour invites you to unfold the outstanding beauty of Pamukkale, and increase your enthusiasm. Taking place during the sunrise, this memorable experience is ideal for all, solo travellers, couples, smaller or bigger groups. Join this Hot Air Balloon Flight, and witness the beauty of the sun as it rises in front of you, admire panoramic views over Pamukkale’s sites, and feel the exceptional atmosphere that hot air balloons create.

This unique, and world-wide famous experience is available on a daily basis. Before the dawn, a comfortable vehicle picks you up from your hotel, and drives you to the take-off site. Please note that transfer services are available from hotels in Pamukkale or Karahayit. At the take-off site, which is just a short drive away from Pamukkale town, you will meet a team of professional pilots and experts. At first, they will let you know important information about the flight and safety procedures. Then, as they prepare the balloon, you can watch the process and take some photos.

For the purposes of Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour, you will fly with a colourful, and spacious balloon. The basket can take up to 16 participants per flight. Once in the basket, find your spot and make yourself comfortable to enjoy an experience like no other. As the Hot Air Balloon starts to rise, expect to feel a fantastic blend of positive emotions and enthusiasm.

As the Hot Air Balloon rises to the maximum allowed altitude, the views will surely take your breath away. More precisely, from up there you can spot the infamous Pamukkale’s travertines, the ancient city of Hierapolis, Karahayit and Denizli. As this is a true feast for the eyes, make sure that you will snap some photos. At the highest altitude, the sun will also start to rise in front of your eyes! The warm colours of the sunlight, and its reflection on the sites below, create a truly imposing scenery. In addition to that, the multiple colourful balloons flying next to yours, create an idyllic and romantic atmosphere.

The flight lasts for almost one hour, but it is subject to the speed of the wind and the weather conditions. Upon landing, get ready for a small celebration! The pilots will offer you a glass of champagne to toast, and a flight certificate to take back home. By the end of this celebration, a vehicle will drive you back at your hotel, full of emotions and great memories.

Our experience was excellent from beginning to end. We received a WhatsApp message the evening before with all the necessary information. The pick-up was punctual, and when we arrived, the hot air balloon was almost ready for takeoff. We ascended to about 1,500 feet and enjoyed views of the Pamukkale Thermal Pools, Hierapolis, the amphitheater, as well as various landscapes and other balloons floating nearby. The flight lasted around 45 minutes, which felt like ample time. Overall, it was a fantastic trip. I would have preferred actual alcohol at the celebration afterward, but it was just some sweet sparkling juice. I would definitely recommend this experience.

The planning was really disappointing. We initially purchased the trip expecting a 5:30 am departure, but the night before, they informed us it would be delayed until 7:20 am. Communication with the operator was lacking, and they seemed indifferent about adjusting our schedule. While the flight itself and the balloon equipment were excellent, the organization and administration left much to be desired.

One of the top attractions in Turkey is taking a hot air balloon ride. We originally planned to fly in Cappadocia, but the ride was canceled due to poor weather. We then chose to try Pamukkale instead, and it turned out to be the best choice. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel until the end, the entire experience went smoothly, and we truly enjoyed the trip. They sent a message confirming the pickup time at 7:20 am, and the van arrived right on schedule. Around 7:50 am, we lifted off and were treated to breathtaking views. The sun was shining, the weather was perfect, and the pilot was very skilled. It was a truly memorable and fantastic experience for everyone. Thanks to the whole team for making our trip so special.

We booked through ExcursionMania for €70. The sunrise balloon ride was amazing, with 14 of us split into four baskets. The van was a bit late, but seeing the balloons inflate was great. The small drink and flight certificate were nice extras. Our hotel, Aspawa, offered the same ride for €40, so if you’re in Pamukkale, check local prices first. No regrets, but the hotel option might be better value.

We arranged our tour through Excursion Mania, with Acelya as our main contact.

It truly felt like she was available around the clock to make sure everything went perfectly.On top of that, their price was significantly better than other options we found at least 25% cheaper for us
