Cappadocia, Turkey
You’re bound to have come across these iconic images of hot air balloons flying high above Cappadocia when Googling holidays. Its craggy landscape and “fairy chimney” rock formations are quite a sight to behold; although not cheap to book a trip up in to the skies, those dreamy red and orange hues come sunrise or sunset are worth every penny.
Queenstown, New Zealand
Renowned for its lush landscapes and unreal views, New Zealand is high on the bucket list for many travellers. A once in a lifetime experience, fly high over snow capped mountains, crystal clear lakes, and even glimpse a view of some of the stunning locations used in filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Sedona, Arizona
Soar through Sedona’s red-rock country, high above its desert landscape. With most rides taking flight ready for sunrise, marvel as the glow turns the rocks crimson and the sky is tinged with pink and purple hues.
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
One of the more unique ways to experience an African safari, drift over Serengeti National Park, drink in vast views and watch as wildlife make their way across the bush.
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
UNESCO World Heritage Site, Angkor Wat, spans over more than 500 acres with religious relics and temples dating back as far as the early 12th century. A must-visit when in Cambodia, explore hidden nooks and intricate details as you make your way around on foot, or fly high above the impressive architecture and take in the magnitude of these world wonders from above.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
Barren yet dramatic, the deserts of Wadi Rum in Jordan promise copper sands and wild rock formations. Unassuming at first, this stretch of desert is not only home to the Zalabia Bedouin people, but beholds majestic mountains and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
