Frequently Asked Questions

Since balloon tours are the most popular activity in Cappadocia, it is advisable to make reservations in advance to avoid surprises upon arrival.
The direction of the balloon is determined by the wind, so balloons do not land where they take off.
Balloon tours start early in the morning, and balloons can rise up to 1400 meters, so you should choose warm and comfortable clothing and shoes, considering the altitude.
Balloon tours involve standing travel.
Whether balloons can fly on a given day is determined by the Civil Aviation General Directorate based on wind speed.
All guests are insured from the moment they are picked up from the hotel until they return to their hotels at the end of the tour.
Unfortunately, children under 6 years old are not allowed to participate. Since balloons have a capacity limit, children aged 7 and above pay the full price.
We recommend making payments in cash with Turkish Lira, dollars, euros, etc., as all balloon companies charge additional fees for payments made with cards.
If the balloon flight is canceled, the amount you paid is refunded in the currency you paid, with no deductions.
If you decide not to participate in the balloon tour at the last minute or if you oversleep and arrive late, a no-show policy is applied, and the fee paid for the balloon tour is not refunded.
