CAPPADOCIA, TURKEY | A Guide To Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Ride

[@worldwildhearts]

If you have a couple of days in Cappadocia, you MUST go on a hot air balloon ride! It was our favorite thing to do in Cappadocia and maybe even Turkey (the trip continues...)! Follow our journey across Turkey here: instagram.com/worldwildhearts/

What was the cost of hot air balloon?

[@worldwildhearts]

Depending on the company you choose. We paid a little more because we chose an 8-person balloon and with the most reputable company in town. There are companies offering for as low as 60-80€ but they might have up to 30 people in the balloon

[@yasirsheikh4748]

Please share the website from where we can book hot air balloon ride.

[@Marisaphiwkhaw]

@@worldwildheartswhich program did you choose? King ride or Queen ride?

[@worldwildhearts]

We did the King Ride! I’m sure queen is also great but we loved to have less people in the balloon 😊

[@86THERON]

[@worldwildhearts]

[@1lifewanderlust]

Thanks for the tip on smaller groups or less people in the balloon for a more intimate experience!

[@worldwildhearts]

That’s how we like it for these kind of experiences! 😄

[@rsavitri]

Thank you so much, short and sweet. I have booked my ride with them next month and excited!

[@worldwildhearts]

You'll love it!!! hopefully the weather will be nice as well!

[@blancajs]

How was it?

[@rsavitri]

@@blancajslove it. The max people is only 8. So you have plenty of space not cramp like other ballons. Breakfast and the champagne was nice!!! ❤

[@blancajs]

@@rsavitri thank you!!! And you booked directly with them?

[@rydellgarcia]

[@KaymarKreations]

[@worldwildhearts]

[@FurqanRizwan]

can I take my son and daughter here with us? they are 4 years and 1 year of age?

[@Datdue08]

Awesome video man😊

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks 😁

[@veenag7929]

The best video! I’ would like to know few things about the landing.. do they land from where we take off? and is sept good month to visit turkey?

[@worldwildhearts]

No you don’t land in the same place because the wind pushes the balloon in any direction that it’s going that day. For us, we landed in a very different spot but it depends on the amount of wind. With little wind, you might land not too far! September is a great time! Enjoy ☺️

[@mustansirsolanki8477]

Loveee your videos!

[@worldwildhearts]

Thank you!! We hope they’re helpful for you 🙏😊 we really loved Turkey 🇹🇷

[@whowantstoknow2]

Thank You very. It was really helpful 💯

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for watching 😚

[@arpitsharma1362]

Nice video...please let me know if this activity could be done during pregnancy ?

[@worldwildhearts]

I think there shouldn't be a problem, but maybe reach out to the company about that before you book?

[@maraandrus6278]

Wow!!!

[@worldwildhearts]

The hot air balloons in Cappadocia are one of the best travel experiences you could ever do!

[@zahedakola1194]

How long before did you guys book the ride?

[@worldwildhearts]

Probably about a week before that! We were there during the low season though (it was fall season + COVID was still a thing). During the summer it might be better to plan ahead!

[@zahedakola1194]

@@worldwildhearts Ah okay..thank you!

[@yasirsheikh4748]

From which website you book the package for hot-air balloon ride??

[@worldwildhearts]

You can book it directly with them or we also use Get Your Guide for many of our tours. This is the link: www.getyourguide.com/s?partner_id=57UJ5GF&placement=content-middle&cmp=Cappadocia_video&q=Avanos&et=13754&lc=983

[@cathal4921]

Had a friend on a tour there some 5 years ago. One of the guests fell out as they made a rought landing and he was crushed and killed under the basket. At that time I followed up on accidents there. There are many, but they are mostly hushed down by police and authorities, always claiming that the tourist must have done something wrong. This guy must have been standing up taking photografs, they said. But he wasn't. So as it was his own fault, it is not in the statistics.

[@RoxyHans]

I need more info on the safety of these please!

[@BucksMatthew]

That's really tragic to hear. It's a shame that such incidents aren't more openly discussed. It's super important to prioritize safety, especially when it comes to activities like hot air ballooning. Thanks for sharing your friend's experience!

[@BucksMatthew]

Wow, that sounds really tragic! It's concerning how accidents like that get brushed under the rug. Safety in these activities is super important, and it's always good to hear different experiences to keep everyone aware.

[@ramshaakhtar855]

Also, if u could plz let me know about the charges

[@nicolevillanueva9226]

What time do the hot air balloons go? Will we be able to see them even without riding?

[@worldwildhearts]

During the morning (sunrise). You’ll be able to see them if you go early! The sky around Göreme will be filled with thrm

[@GamePlay_7860]

i am a wheelchair person but i can get up and walk short distances. is this doable for me? did the royal ballon picked you up from the airport or hotel?

[@worldwildhearts]

Royal balloon did pick us up from the hotel! It might be hard to get into the balloon with wheelchair, but maybe if you contact them, they might have a solution for that?

[@bharathkumar8678]

looks like an amazing place propose my gf here

[@akhilmohankp3755]

One of my dream❤

[@akhilmohankp3755]

How much for this ride

[@worldwildhearts]

link is in description!

[@sergemann5951]

I had nothing but headaches with the Royal balloons. You were probably paid or given a gift.

[@worldwildhearts]

No to both of your "assumptions". We paid for it ourselves. BTW a video would be marked sponsored if it were so :)

[@LanHoang-dw6eq]

I cannot go on roller coasters in Magic Mountain or Universal Studios, Hollywood since I am afraid of going down too fast & suddenly! I can’t hike up the mountain either since high elevation makes me like fainted. However, I can fly in an airplane in 16 hours. Do you think I can handle hot balloon rides? Also it seemed they didn’t let you go to the restroom since the time they pick you up at your hotel until they drive you home , which might be like 3 hours, did you? Please let me know asp since I might go to Cappadocia soon. Thank you so much!

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for reaching out! If you’re afraid of heights, then the hot air balloon might not be for you. You go quite high up in the air and there is open air around you. Although you do go very slow the whole time, so it is relaxing that way compared to a roller coaster. In terms of your bathroom question, we did have the option to use the bathroom at the meeting point prior to getting on the balloons. Then the balloon ride lasted about 1 hour. So in total, you would be away from the bathroom for about two hours including the car ride to and from the balloon central meeting point in town.

[@carol_english]

Yes, absolutely. I have fear of flying and hate airplanes. But the hot air balloon ride in Turkey was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

[@mercyortega6171]

I have limitation with my left knee due to a recent surgery…..do you think I will be helped in getting into the basket? Is there a ladder that can help me climb on the basket?

[@worldwildhearts]

Sorry for the late reply! Yes, im sure they will help you get into the basket if needed. There was a ladder for us to get in and the staff also helped us up to make sure we didn’t get hurt. To be extra sure, we recommend sending the company you book with an email prior to your flight. Let them know about your knee and they will note it for the flight

[@mercydsilva5447]

I too had my knee surgery but those guys help you to get into d basket it was a very nice experience

[@ramshaakhtar855]

Which month did you go ?

[@worldwildhearts]

We went at the end of October. It was already pretty cold at that time! You can find the link to the hot air balloon in the description under the video. That has the prices

[@darrentan4579]

Turkey Let’s Visit

[@ATBCJ]

How long did this entire hot air balloon experience last ?

[@worldwildhearts]

It lasted a few hours because of the pick-up etc.The flight itself is about 1 hour

[@bashiirahmed7310]

Beautiful

[@worldwildhearts]

It really was! The cappadocia hot air balloons are a once-in-a-lifetime beauty 😍

[@LucasSouza-xq1xe]

Do you know where the balloons took of? Sword Valley? Great video btw 💕

[@worldwildhearts]

We took off at Pasabag which was right behind Rose / Red Valley. But the balloons take off at different points each morning depending on which way the wind is going that morning

[@robinvisscher000]

Is this all year long? Or is there a specific airballoon season

[@worldwildhearts]

The balloons do go all year long. We did ours flight at the end of October and it was pretty cold first thing in the morning. If you want a warmer flight, the captain recommended going in the spring or summer
