Incredible - After hesitating we decided to book this hot air balloon ride and we absolutely loved it. It was very professionally done. The aeronauts were highly qualified and they manoeuvred the balloon to precision. Also the route they chose was brilliant. Thank you so much! 🎈

Precision, Professionalism, the best ground crew & the best pilot - First of all, I must say that I don’t even waste my time commenting about average experiences, this is the second time I’m writing a comment for an establishment after a perfect car hiring experience in Mallorca and that’s all. I don’t have any partnership and no one told me to write this comment. I feel they deserve to be appreciated and I need to share this for the people who are in doubt. I and my fiancée have never had a balloon ride and we wanted our first time to be the best of all companies according to GetYourGuide. We paid 140€ per person. Not gonna lie, it’s not the cheapest company to choose but if you want to get the best treatment, safety, precision and professionalism, this is it. There are so many other companies with 60€ per person but if you are going to experience this for the first time, you should get this one. From the beginning to the end, this experience was perfect and the whole crew were professionals. We got picked up at the door of our hotel at 04:40, the exact time they indicated, not a minute early not a minute late. Then, we went to their headquarters to have open buffet breakfast. Right after that, we were taken to the balloon take off place. We have to thank our pilot İbrahim Daşdeler, who is the best pilot we have ever seen although he was very humble and he never claimed that, all of us (around 30 people in the basket) were mesmerized and half of the time we forgot to hold around because we were clapping his skills. He took us up very high in the air around 500-700m height. Then, he lowered us to the valleys and fairy chimneys. Whereas every other pilot was not risking to go down that low to the valleys, he was the only one doing it with such ease and precision that we could touch the tree branches and leafs. There was a time, we cruised between very tight fairy chimneys (you can only pass there if you pass with the side of the basket), it looked impossible to pass but he was so calm and fully in control. No other pilot around dared to fly that low or dared those impossible looking maneuvers. We were literally the only balloon. He said he has been flying for more than 15 years. There were times that we were sure we would hit something but the way he composes himself and doing his job easily gave the complete calmness to all of us. We landed on a car platform with the softest landing. The landing crew quickly helped everyone and we had champagne at the end to celebrate as it’s tradition since the first balloon flight ever happened in Paris 1870s which our pilot explained in English. We also got flight certificates for free to have souvenirs. The whole flight was recorded with two 360 degree cameras and you can buy the recording it with 30€ which is acceptable for this kind of magical experience. After 1 hour of flying and the champagne ceremony, they dropped us back to our hotels. I can say that every single one of the crew was professionals but especially the pilot İbrahim needs a raise if he doesn’t already get what he deserves! We are so happy that we paid for this high quality service and this high level of professionalism. If we need to choose again we would choose the same Discovery Balloons, but more importantly whichever company this pilot İbrahim Daşdeler is working for!

Amazing views and experience! Top 3 feelings ever - The views were crazy beautiful. Absolutely nothing compares to the feeling this activity gave us. The pictures, the views, the adrenaline, everything was perfect. Discovery allows you to be practically the first in the sky and honestly we had the best time and best views with our pilot. Very organized and fun!!

A Must Do - Incredible Views! - Amazing experience with Discovery Balloons! Booked 6 weeks in advance and they were super communicative the whole way. We flew on our first morning, which was ideal in case of weather delays we wanted to make sure we could do this activity. Pick-up was on time, followed by breakfast and a clear safety briefing before getting taken to the balloon site to watch it inflate and then jump in! We were one of the first balloons up, which gave us incredible views of the others rising below us and great colours over the landscape. Our pilot, Muhsin, was experienced and kept us informed and at a perfect distance from other balloons. The flight lasted just over an hour and felt very safe and smooth. Spacious basket, stunning views, and a truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! - All excellent! It turned out better than I expected. Very safe and professional. Punctual and correct. All very friendly and friendly too. Pilot Emre showed us the whole valley and we could also see the sunrise. There are few people per balloon and everyone has good eyesight.
