Real experiences from real travelers
The 12-minute balloon ride was the highlight of our trip. Seeing the sheer scale of the moat around Angkor Wat from 200m up is something I'll never forget. Booking through this site was seamless.
We booked the small group sunrise tour for $15. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and knew exactly where to stand to get the best photos without the crowds. Amazing value!
The private sunrise tour was worth every penny. Our guide explained the Khmer history in great detail and the Khmer lunch included was delicious and authentic.
The balloon was a bit short but the views are incredible. Make sure to go on a clear day for the best visibility across the park.
The Remorque (tuk-tuk) tour was so fun! A very traditional way to see the temples. The sunrise at 5 AM was magical. Excellent service and easy booking.
Our guide arrived at the hotel exactly at 4:30 AM. Very professional service and the air-conditioned van was a lifesaver in the Cambodian heat.
The view from the balloon at sunset is just as good as sunrise. You can see Phnom Bakheng and the West Baray perfectly. A must-do in Siem Reap.
The scholar guide on our balloon and temple tour made the history come alive. We learned so much more than we would have on our own.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, the main Angkor Balloon near the park is a tethered helium balloon that rises vertically to about 200 meters.
The tethered balloon ride typically costs around $25-$30 per person when booked individually, but is often included in larger tour packages starting around $85.
Early morning (sunrise) or late afternoon (sunset) are the best times for golden light and cooler temperatures.
The balloon itself is located just outside the park boundaries, but if your tour includes visits to any temples (which most do), you will need a valid Angkor Pass.
Absolutely. The tethered balloon is a very stable helium-filled vessel operated by experienced pilots and is much safer than free-flying balloons.
Safety is the priority. If winds are too high, balloon flights will be grounded. Most tours offer a partial refund or rescheduling for the balloon portion if this happens.
The standard tethered flight lasts approximately 10 to 12 minutes, providing ample time for 360-degree photography.
The balloon reaches an altitude of approximately 200 meters (650 feet).
No, for preservation and safety reasons, balloons do not fly directly over the stones of the temple. You will be about 800 meters away, which provides the best panoramic view of the entire complex.
You must cover your shoulders and knees to enter the temples. Sarongs are often not accepted as a cover-up for shorts, so please wear appropriate trousers or long skirts.
Many of our partner tours include round-trip transport from Siem Reap hotels via air-conditioned van or traditional Remorque.
Full-day 'plus' tours typically include a traditional Khmer lunch. Always check the 'What's Included' section of your specific booking.
