Pamukkale is spectacular seen from the ground – but even better with bird's eye views. See one of Turkey's top natural treasures from above with this hot air balloon experience. You'll need to rise and shine well before sunrise, but it's all worth it as you soar over the cotton-white calcium terraces, making memories that'll last long after you leave.

The balloon experience was absolutely incredible & would 100% recommend. The only thing we didn’t like was the breakfast & lunch as it wasn’t the best, really we thought the breakfast could’ve been skipped to reduce the overall duration of the trip. The coach journey from Antalya is long but comfortable & worth it for the experience. The day spent at Pamukkale was lovely, so beautiful and lots to see, we did feel we didn’t need as long here. Overall would recommend this trip.

Excellent trip. Long journey but made comfortable & taken care of by guide. Ahmed was wonderful & knowledable. A wonderful guide. A once in a lifetime trip over Pamunkkale!

The balloon experience was fantastic as was the time spent at the ancient ruins and on the white hills. What wasn’t great was the time spent travelling. It was advertised as an 8 hour day. The experience was but in addition to this was 10 hours travelling from Side in a cramped and rickety mini coach

The trip and everything included was amazing. Guides were great, air balloon experience unbelievable!!! The 8hr time guide fir your trip - not at all accurate with a lot of the trip not mentioned in the itinerary properly or travel time
