Below are the 6 best balloons tours in Cambodia, with what each costs, how long it runs and the kind of traveller it suits. Number one is there for a reason; the rest are close behind it.
Sunrise or sunset hot air balloon over Siem Reap, with views of Bakong and Lolei Temple, plus hotel pickup and a smooth 30-minute flight.
“Loved the experience, the driver was polite, on time and very friendly. The pilot for the air balloon was knowledgeable, friendly and very polite. Would definitely recommend.”
Angkor Wat with a Cambodian scholar, a tethered helium balloon ride, and Khmer lunch from Siem Reap. Small group, pickup included.
“Awesome experience. My guide, Phy was very informative. He spoke english very well, so communication was not an issue. Would recommend to anyone that wants a tour of Angkor Wat.”
Angkor Wat in 7 hours with a local guide, Khmer lunch, and a tethered 10 minute balloon ride for views over the temples and jungle.
“Driver Vong and my personal guide Chou were excellent. No complaints here. All the best to them”
Float over Angkor temples at sunrise or sunset from Siem Reap, with hotel pickup and big sky views for about 30 minutes.
“just beautifully executed. export pilot, dreamy and lovely experience.”
Float inches from the Angkor Wat skyline in a tethered helium balloon for sunrise or sunset, with pickup and drop-off from Siem Reap.
“Nie wieder! Am besten man bucht sich so einen Tuktuk Fahrer und holt sich vor Ort ein Ticket für 25$. Letztendlich waren wir 19 Minuten statt den 30 Minuten oben. Ich wurde direkt von dem Ballonfahrer gerufen, dass ich mich beeilen soll, dass es die letzte Fahrt wäre. Ich mich also beeilt und auch keinen Sonnenuntergang gesehen, da ich wie gesagt nur 10 Minuten oben war. Nach mir sind dann weitere Personen gefahren.”
Hot air balloon over Siem Reap at sunrise or sunset, with pickup, bird’s-eye views of Bakong and Lolei, plus temples and countryside scenery.
“I must admit, I misinterpreted “Angkor Hot Air Balloon Ride” with “Angkor Wat…” That being said, our pickup was late then we crawled through town for other passengers before slowly making our way to the balloon, clearly to keep launch near sunrise (6:21). We lifted off in the haze at about 6:30, the sunrise obscured by haze and clouds. We drifted over dry rice fields for about 28 minutes before landing. We basically saw the same sights we had on landing in Siam Reap Airport. This tour was expensive and not memorable in any way. I do not recommend this to enhance your time in Siam Reap.”
