Is the hot air balloon ride included? If not, will we have time to do it on this tour?

Balloon ride is not included, but of course we may add it to your itinerary with an additional charge. On your second day, you may be picked up from the hotel between 0400AM or 0445AM and then may be dropped off to the hotel for your following tour at around 0800AM. That might be a little bit challenging since the schedule is tight. It is totally up to you and please bear in mind kindly that Balloon might not take off due to the wheather conditions.
