Yes sure, but we do not recommend this. June is a very high season for the region, so if you postpone your decision to last minute, there is a high chance that we might not be able to arrange you to be in the same basket together with the instructor and the rest of the group. However, we will try regardless:)
Flying in a high sided balloon basket is not like standing in a roof or a high ladder. You don’t get that vertigo feeling. It is more like the ground is unfolding beneath you and because you are moving with the wind, there is no wind blowing. The basket does not rock or sway so you can’t possibly fall out.
You will not get airsick: The turbulence which usually causes motion sickness is completely absent in a balloon ride, as the balloon proceeds with the airflow. The flight of a balloon is almost too smooth to describe.
Children below age of 6 are not accepted in the balloon rides. Because of the height of the basket, they will have difficult time to see anything and enjoy the hot air balloon tour. They may also have difficulties to proceed with the landing process.
Balloon tours are depending on weather conditions. Turkish Civil Aviation Authority has a Representation Office in Cappadocia that gives approval of balloon flights if the weather conditions are within limits. This applies to all hot air balloon companies in Cappadocia.
If there is a cancellation made by the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority (due to bad weather conditions), you can choose to be rescheduled to next morning subject to availability or get 100% payment refund.
The main language will be English or German depending on the composition of the group. Our instructor is at least bilingual and will be able to answer questions in English as well.
