About This Activity

Our Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour offers a perfect blend of adventure, history, and breathtaking scenery. This meticulously designed tour ensures you experience the best of Pamukkale and its surroundings in just one day, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s what you can expect:

Your adventure begins early in the morning as we pick you up directly from your hotel in Izmir. Our comfortable, private minibus ensures a relaxing and enjoyable 3-hour drive to Pamukkale. Sit back, enjoy the views, and get ready for an extraordinary day ahead. Upon arrival, our dedicated team will warmly greet you, guiding you every step of the way.

Your hot air balloon experience starts with witnessing the magical process of balloon preparation. Watch as the giant balloons come to life against the backdrop of the sunrise. Before taking off, our skilled pilots will provide a brief safety introduction to ensure your comfort and confidence. Then, the real adventure begins! Soar gently above the stunning white terraces of Pamukkale and the ancient ruins of Hierapolis for a 40-60 minute flight. From the air, you’ll marvel at the breathtaking views of the travertine terraces, the ruins of Hierapolis, and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Don’t forget to capture these moments – your photos will be a cherished reminder of this unique experience.

After a safe landing, it’s time to celebrate! Each guest receives a commemorative flight certificate as a token of this special experience. To make the moment even more festive, we pop a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne – a fun and symbolic way to toast your adventure.

Next, we take you to the heart of Pamukkale. Here, you’ll have three hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Walk barefoot on the iconic white travertine terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and enjoy the warm thermal waters flowing beneath your feet. Discover the ancient city of Hierapolis, including its fascinating necropolis and ruins. If relaxation is what you’re after, take a dip in the historic Cleopatra’s Pool – a thermal bath known for its rejuvenating properties. Please note that the entrance fee to Pamukkale and its attractions is not included in the tour price, so tickets must be purchased at the entrance.

After your exploration, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Served buffet-style, the meal features a variety of dishes to suit every taste. While the lunch is included in the tour price, beverages are extra – feel free to choose your favorite drink to complement the meal. After a day full of awe-inspiring experiences, we embark on the return journey to Izmir. Sit back and relax in our comfortable minibus as we bring you back to your hotel. The approximately 3-hour drive offers the perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible day you’ve had and browse through your stunning photos.

I had an amazing day on this Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour. The early morning pickup was smooth, and the drive gave me time to get excited about what was ahead. Watching the balloons inflate at sunrise was truly magical. The flight itself was peaceful and offered stunning views of the terraces and ruins below. After landing, the little celebration with a certificate and non alcoholic champagne was a nice touch. The free time to explore Pamukkale and Hierapolis let me soak in the history and natural beauty at my own pace. Lunch was tasty and the staff were super friendly throughout. Highly recommend if you want a mix of adventure and culture!"

We booked this tour as a special treat during our trip to Turkey, and it did not disappoint. The balloon ride was the highlight. Floating over those incredible white terraces and ancient ruins was breathtaking. The guides were professional and made us feel safe at all times. We loved the free time to explore Pamukkale and the chance to swim in Cleopatra’s Pool afterward. The buffet lunch was satisfying after such an active day. The 3-hour drive back to Izmir was comfortable, giving us time to chat about the day. A perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

Our family had a fantastic experience on this tour. The kids were a little nervous about the balloon ride at first but ended up loving every minute of it. The views from above are unforgettable and so unique. The chance to explore the terraces and ruins afterward gave everyone a bit of history and nature in one day. The lunch buffet was a good variety, so even the picky eaters in our group found something they liked. The guides were friendly and helpful, making the whole day run smoothly. Definitely a must do if you're in the area.

The Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour was a wonderful experience overall. The balloon ride was incredible, and the scenery was beyond expectations. We enjoyed the free time to explore the terraces and ancient ruins on our own, which was great for our group. The only downside was the length of the drive there and back. It felt a bit long after a full day, but the comfortable minibus helped. Also, the entrance fees to the site are extra, so keep that in mind. Lunch was decent, though I wish there were more beverage options included. Still, I’d recommend this tour for the stunning views and unique experience.
