Riding an ATV between the fairy chimneys at sunrise felt unreal. Our guide slipped us into quiet corners of the valleys, where the balloons drifted above like a moving backdrop for proper photos. We stopped at a small viewpoint and the light was just perfect, even the dust looked cinematic. The Katalay team was quick, clear, and really careful with safety.

Rizky P. 4.0 / 5 Very Good
Our guide started cracking jokes before sunrise and I was laughing inside the helmet like a foggy aquarium. Hotel pick-up was super smooth and the air-conditioned van saved my sleepy soul. Riding the ATV through the valleys and seeing the fairy chimneys in the distance was seriously fun. But we waited a bit too long at the viewpoint to watch the balloons, so it didn’t feel perfect. Still, really worth it.

The best part for me was the silence—riding the ATV on the dirt track while the sun came up, wind in my face. We went past the fairy chimneys and you could see the balloons lifting off in the distance. Our guide was patient, gave a quick lesson for beginners, and didn’t rush anyone. It does get dusty, but that’s part of it. 2 hours went faster than I thought.

I didn’t expect to get so dusty, but at sunrise it kinda fit the whole vibe. We rode near Red Valley and then through the fairy chimneys, with hot air balloons floating above us in silence. The guide kept things short and clear, and was patient with the people who were nervous. ATVs were in good shape, only thing is I wish I had brought goggles.

The cold air hit my face when I started the engine and I was awake instantly. Riding the ATV through the valleys was so fun, especially around Rose Valley. With the hot air balloons floating above at sunrise, it felt kind of unreal. The guide was calm and clear, didn’t push anyone too fast. Only thing is it gets pretty dusty, but I expected that.

Fairy chimneys and old carved ruins, just epic.
Iker P. 3.0 / 5 Average
Guide was chill, hotel pickup and AC bus comfy; but the waiting was too long.
Dimitris K. 4.0 / 5 Very Good
Our guide started cracking jokes before we even got on the ATVs, and I was laughing inside the helmet. The group was small, so it felt kinda private; we zoomed through Rose Valley and kicked up dust by the fairy chimneys. But we waited a bit at the start, so not 5 stars. Still, super fun, my clothes are still basically a desert.
Saron B. 4.0 / 5 Very Good
The moment I got on the ATV, Cappadocia’s valleys felt like a living museum. Our guide shared fascinating stories about how the fairy chimneys formed and what cave life used to be like, so the ride had real meaning. Stopping near Pigeon Valley at sunrise to watch the balloons was something I won’t forget. However a couple stops felt a bit rushed, 2–3 more minutes for photos would help.
Yuting L. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
The moment the ATV rolled into the valleys, I felt like I slipped into an old story. At sunrise the rock faces looked soft, and the carved churches and ancient pigeon houses suddenly felt alive. Uçhisar’s silhouette sat in the distance and I just stared, kind of emotional. Our guide explained safety really clearly and never rushed us. Dust, engine noise… but it left a quiet nostalgia in my chest. 5/5.
Yasmine E. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
I didn’t expect to get so dusty and still be smiling this much. We rode the ATV around Göreme at sunrise, with the fairy chimneys behind us and hot air balloons slowly filling the sky. The guide explained a bit and didn’t rush us, we stopped a few times for photos. Helmets and goggles were fine, I was just a little cold, bring a layer.
Florian K. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
Heading out into the valley before sunrise felt a bit crazy, but it was worth it. The ATVs were in good condition and they gave a short safety briefing. We drove dusty tracks between the fairy chimneys, and the light was unreal when the balloons started lifting off. Our guide didn’t rush us and we stopped a couple times for photos. Only thing: it gets pretty dusty, bring glasses.

Watching balloons drift over us while we rode through the valleys at sunrise felt like it was just our tiny group; the guide was so chill.
Laith N. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
I didn’t expect the balloons above us to feel that close while riding through the valleys. The ATVs were in good shape and they gave a quick lesson, I felt comfortable. The route went through Love Valley and the sunrise views were kinda crazy. It’s dusty (normal), but the team stopped so we could take photos. Not trying to hype it, it was just well organized.

The moment we started the engine my heart was racing a bit. Riding the dirt trails at sunrise, passing the fairy chimneys, felt unreal, and the hot air balloons were floating quietly above us. The guide was clear about safety and kept a good pace, so I felt comfortable even as a beginner. You do get dusty, but it’s worth it. 2 hours went fast.
Thando K. 4.0 / 5 Very Good
Riding an ATV through the valleys while the sun came up made me feel like a kid again. We were a small group, so the trails around Göreme felt almost private, and the guide kept it safe without rushing us. That quiet moment watching the balloons is still stuck in my head. But we waited a bit at the start, and that tiny delay kept it from 5 stars.

Linus B. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
Riding through the valleys at sunrise felt a bit unreal, in the best way. The ATVs were in good shape and we did a quick practice loop, which helped because I’d never driven one before. The trails around Göreme and the fairy chimneys looked wild in that light, and we even saw balloons in the distance. Guide was calm and clear, didn’t rush us. I was covered in dust after, but worth it.
Rana K. 5.0 / 5 Excellent

What surprised me most was the quiet, mixed with the engine sound and then it just disappears in the valley. We rode between the fairy chimneys at sunrise and the balloons drifted over us slowly. The guide spoke little but clear, and safety was good. A bit dusty of course, but it’s exactly what I wanted.
Federico P. 3.0 / 5 Average
Hearing the engines echo in the valley set the mood fast, and we ended up joking with people from a bunch of countries. The fairy chimneys and dusty tracks looked unreal at sunrise, and the guide was kind and patient. But we waited quite a while before starting, and the helmets weren’t very comfy, which killed the flow a bit. Still, sharing tea after with new friends was the best part.
Miloš P. 3.0 / 5 Average
Our guide took us off the main crowd to a quiet ridge behind the fairy chimneys; the morning light there felt unreal and my photos came out almost like postcards. But we waited around too long and some stops felt rushed, which kind of broke the mood. Still, the dust, the silence, and balloons drifting far away stay with me.

Still, the crew felt like family.

Jumping on the ATV and heading into the valleys felt super fun, and the small group made it feel kinda exclusive. Sunrise with the balloons overhead was unreal, especially around Rose Valley.

Before the guide even said “let’s go,” I felt like a cowboy on an ATV. In 2 hours we squeezed in Pigeon Valley edges, fairy chimneys, and balloons floating right over us. The Katalay team did a quick safety talk, then we were off, laughing through the dust. At one point my helmet slipped and I was basically honking at the balloons like an idiot. Short, packed, and totally perfect.

One minute I was bouncing between the fairy chimneys, and then the balloons drifted right over us at sunrise; our guide took us to a quiet ridge away from the crowds and my photos looked kinda pro. But there was a bit of waiting while the ATVs lined up, so it didn’t feel super smooth. Still, that hidden viewpoint was worth it.
Callum P. 3.0 / 5 Average
The sunrise colours over Göreme honestly blew my mind; the fairy chimneys looked dipped in gold and I was giggling inside my helmet. Our guide was good fun and kept cracking jokes.

The valley was still quiet before sunrise, just the sound of the ATV. We rode through around Rose Valley and stopped a couple times to watch the hot air balloons.
