The peaceful drift of the balloon offers unmatched panoramic vistas and a moment of serene beauty.

Explore Pamukkale and Hierapolis: After your flight, take time to explore Pamukkale's thermal pools and the ancient city of Hierapolis. Walk through the ruins, including the well-preserved amphitheater and Necropolis, and soak your feet in the healing thermal waters. This unique combination of natural beauty and ancient history makes the visit truly special.

Indulge in Local Flavors: We'll take a break before arriving at Pamukkale for the balloon tour. For lunch, enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant in Denizli, offering a taste of authentic Turkish cuisine.

Convenient Return Journey: The tour wraps up with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel in Antalya. Relax and reflect on your extraordinary experience as you drive through picturesque landscapes, taking with you memories to last a lifetime.

Despite the early start, the experience was absolutely worth it. Watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon while taking in the stunning views of Pamukkale was unforgettable. Visiting Hierapolis afterward was equally impressive; it gave us a glimpse into what life might have been like back in the second century. The travertines were also a remarkable sight. We’re thankful to our guide and driver for getting us there safely and sharing the area's rich history. We also appreciate the tour operator and the person who arranged our booking they were very responsive and helpful with all our questions.

We went on the hot air balloon ride in Pamukkale and would definitely recommend it. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the prices were quite reasonable. Our pickup from Antalya was right on schedule, and the drive to the launch site was very comfortable. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting details about Turkish culture and popular spots during the trip. He took us to a nice spot for breakfast and later to a wine tasting. His fluent English made it easy for us to connect with locals along the way. We really enjoyed our time in Pamukkale and are already looking forward to coming back and booking another tour with him.

The experience was truly memorable—far beyond anything we had imagined. We went into the hot air balloon ride without knowing exactly what to expect, and it ended up surpassing all our hopes. Our guide took us to a lovely breakfast spot and shared fascinating stories about both Turkey and his own life. He was incredibly kind, spoke excellent English, and was by far the most welcoming guide we met during our time in Turkey. At the end of the tour, he even made sure we got to the train station and explained how to reach our next stop.

I’m unsure about this tour overall. While the hot air balloon ride itself was fantastic, the rest felt like a complete waste of time. There’s no option to skip the activities after the flight, so you end up spending nearly four hours doing very little and paying a lot for the privilege. Personally, three hours at Pamukkale was far too long I was ready to leave after about an hour, especially after a long coffee break.

This tour is a convenient day trip from Antalya, especially for those looking to avoid the hassle of flying to Denizli just to visit Pamukkale. Our guide was highly professional and showed great patience, kindly waiting for everyone at each stop along the way. One thing I’d suggest for improvement is allowing at least three hours to explore Hierapolis independently, as two hours isn’t quite enough to fully enjoy both the white travertine terraces and the ancient thermal pool. Also, the vehicle’s air conditioning wasn’t functioning properly in the early morning, making it a bit uncomfortable to rest.

Mixed feelings about this trip some wonderful moments, but the communication left much to be desired. Starting with the positives: the hot air balloon ride was incredible. Despite the early start and long journey, it was absolutely worth it for such a unique experience. The travertine terraces were fascinating to see, though they were quite crowded. We also chose to pay extra to swim in the Cleopatra mineral pool, which was a special opportunity to swim among ancient Roman ruins in naturally warm water. The Roman theater was another highlight and truly impressive to explore. On the downside, the tour lacked clear communication and felt unorganized at times. We had to switch vehicles multiple times, often without explanation. We also weren’t informed that the rest stop an hour before Pamukkale would be the last chance to use a restroom before the balloon flight, which would have been helpful to know. Instead of going straight to breakfast after the balloon ride, we were unexpectedly taken to a sales presentation for precious stones. Many in our group were upset and asked to be taken back to the hotel, which one of the vans did. Ultimately, everything worked out fine, but the day could have been far less stressful if the organizers had communicated better. Over the course of the tour, we switched vehicles eight times and were never told whether we’d be returning to the same one or if it was safe to leave anything behind. Packing properly is a challenge you’ll need warm clothes for the balloon ride, lighter clothes for the heat, swimwear, and ideally, your own breakfast since there wasn’t an opportunity to buy food. For most of the trip, we had little or no access to an English speaking guide When I did try to ask questions, I wasn’t sure if she fully understood. All in all, I’m grateful for the experiences, but a more professional and well-organized approach would have made a big difference.

One thing that could have been improved was the morning break a quick breakfast stop would have been better than just coffee, considering the long gap between our 1am pickup and lunch at 12pm. That said, there were plenty of clean restroom breaks along the way, which was appreciated. Lunch was served buffet-style with a nice variety of tasty options.

The tour was very enjoyable, and we were able to take lots of great photos. The staff were well-organized and did their jobs efficiently. Overall, we had a lovely time. However, the part after the hot air balloon ride was less enjoyable. As a result, some of us ended up waiting around for nearly three hours while the others visited the pools. After that, the only things left were lunch and the return trip. It’s quite a long day, and for those who choose not to pay the additional fee for the pools, the overall cost of the tour feels rather high.

To begin with, we arrived on time, but the balloon was still being prepared. Even before we lifted off, the countdown for the flight duration had already started. Once we were finally in the air, the ride lasted only about 25 minutes, despite the listing promising a 45-minute flight. It felt misleading and disappointing. The food experience was also upsetting. As someone who practices Hinduism, I was unknowingly served beef. I was not informed beforehand, and when I raised the issue, the only response was a simple apology. I was told it was my fault for not understanding that “meatball mixed with vegetables” included beef. I believe the type of meat should have been clearly stated.

Afterwards, we toured Hierapolis and Pamukkale with our guide, Ahmed, who shared fascinating details and the history behind these sites. Although much of the ancient city is in ruins, the amphitheater really caught my attention. It’s still remarkably intact, even though the statues there are replicas the originals are kept in a nearby museum. I was amazed to learn that the theater’s design allows sound to carry clearly from one side to the other. We also had some free time to explore Hierapolis and walk barefoot through the Pamukkale thermal pools, which was a unique experience. The only downside was that the balloon basket felt quite tight due to the number of people onboard. Also, the entrance ticket for Hierapolis wasn’t included in the tour price and had to be paid separately in cash to the guide, which was a bit confusing.

What an incredible adventure! A hot air balloon ride unbelievable! The pilot was fantastic, and the food came along eventually. If you’re up for some fun, there’s even karaoke during the car ride. We explored stunning ancient ruins filled with countless stones and breathtaking scenery, and enjoyed the warm, flowing hot springs. Huge thanks to our guide for keeping things lively despite a few small hiccups. I’d definitely suggest this trip to anyone who’s not prone to motion sickness.

This was an unforgettable experience and absolutely something to do if you visit the area. Our guide did an excellent job making sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and enjoyed themselves throughout the trip. She was exceptional, offering top notch service, very accommodating, and dedicated to giving us the very best experience. I’m truly grateful for her efforts. Although the trip from our accommodation in Side, Turkey to the balloon launch site was long and tiring, it was completely worthwhile once we experienced the balloon ride. A once in a lifetime adventure, especially when shared with loved ones. Truly unforgettable.
