Cappadocia Horseback Riding Tour: 2-Hour Sunrise Ride

About this tour

This two-hour horseback ride takes you through Cappadocia's valleys just as the sun comes up. You'll follow a guide along quiet trails past the region's fairy chimneys, the wind-carved rock spires the area is known for, while hot air balloons drift overhead. The route covers Kiliclar, Meskendir, Rose, and Love valleys. Hotel pickup and drop-off, a guide, a helmet, and fuel are all part of the deal.

How the sunrise ride unfolds

Your driver collects you from your Cappadocia hotel early, with the exact time set by that day's sunrise. From there you meet your horse and guide and set off through the valleys on a two-hour ride. The trail winds through Kiliclar, Meskendir, Rose, and Love valleys, so you get a real spread of the region's rock spires and canyons as the light comes up.

This is a group ride in English, so you'll be out with other riders rather than on your own. It's an early start, but the payoff is a quiet trail and the sight of hot air balloons rising over the landscape while you ride. When the two hours are up, your guide brings the group back and you're driven straight to your hotel.
