First time for us to go on a hot air balloon ride. Captain Mike Green has over 25 years experience. He would turn the balloon 360 degrees to great great views to video. An amazing adventure and Mike has so much knowledge he shares. Great views, we took the ride with less people and champagne if wanted afterwards and juice.... More

Today I finally did my first hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia. Having traveled quite a bit I was often disappointed by bad surprises in terms of discreppancies between what was promised and delivered. So I asked around, booked with Butterfly Balloon and it was just perfect. The pilot Mehmet was nice, informative and really gave it all to satisfy... More

We chose Butterfly Balloons after reading reviews, watching video on the internet and getting as much information as possible before making a decision. I wasnt sure if it would be suitable for my mother who is 76 and really wanted to do this trip so an email was sent and quickly replied to which put my mind at rest and... More

My husband and I booked with Butterfly Balloons on the recommendations from several internet sites and were not disappointed! We went with the deluxe flight with Chief Pilot Mike and it was well worth the extra few euros. We are by no means rich but why skimp on such an adventure? Mike is one of very few who bother to...

We researched balloon companies extensively and went with Butterly because the largest volume of positive comments. We were more than impressed with the experience. Mustapha was our pilot - who we highly recommend - who has a wonderful sense of humor and is a very experienced pilot. His landing was so soft we didn't feel it. The professionalism of the... More

I highly recommend doing a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, and you should without a doubt choose Butterfly Balloons. They were recommended by our hotel, Esbelli Evi, and I am so glad we went with them. We were supposed to do the balloon ride our first morning in Cappadocia and unfortunately got all the way to the site and... More

I wasn't keen on doing a hot-air balloon ride on my trip to Cappadoccia, but the day before I left, a colleague insisted it was a must-do, so I booked a flight with Butterfly Balloons. Our shuttle was on time, and the staff at the office were polite and efficient, while also giving a relaxed vibe. We ate a lovely... More

It was our first balloon flight. Couldn't be happier with the quality service that Butterfly provided. We paid a bit more to fly with Butterfly but frankly I'm not going to do many balloon flights so worth it to have far less people in the basket and to go quality highly professional company. As for the flight, it literally left... More
