Antalya Hot Air Balloon

Your journey begins in Antalya with a hotel pickup using modern, air-conditioned vehicles suitable for the group size. Whether it’s a minibus, midibus, or a full-sized coach, comfort is guaranteed. After gathering all participants, there’s a brief stop before heading toward Pamukkale.

The tour departs approximately 4.5 hours before sunrise to ensure arrival at Pamukkale before dawn. During the 3-hour drive, the guide provides a short briefing, after which you’re welcome to rest and enjoy the ride.

Before sunrise, you’ll witness the mesmerizing process of the hot air balloons being inflated. First with cold air, then with hot air—only the sound of the flames breaks the silence. It’s a magical experience watching the sky light up with every burst of flame in the dark.

Once the balloon is ready, the pilot invites you aboard and gives a short safety briefing. The flight, lasting between 50 minutes and 1 hour 20 minutes, begins with the first light of day. You’ll soar up to 1000 meters, taking in breathtaking views of the Pamukkale travertines, the ancient city of Hierapolis, and the surrounding villages.

After landing, you’ll receive a flight certificate and enjoy a small celebration with non-alcoholic champagne or apple juice. The tour continues with a delicious open-buffet breakfast featuring local items like cheese, olives, jams, and freshly brewed tea and coffee.

Later, you’ll explore Pamukkale and its historic sites at your own pace. Your guide introduces the area and then gives you three hours of free time to visit the travertines, the museum, the necropolis, and the thermal Antique Pool. The day concludes with a rich buffet lunch before returning to Antalya in the evening.
