The 8 Balloon Flights in Cambodia That Earn Their Price

1.Angkor Stunning Hot Air Balloon

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 114 reviews · 30 min · from $174Our pick

Float over Siem Reap at sunrise or sunset, with views of Bakong and Lolei, plus hotel pickup and smooth, safe balloon logistics.

“Honestly … it’s a lot of money, even for European standards, but it was a very nice experience to be in the balloon and get the sun set in bright red just towards the end of the ride. Don’t expect to see much of the temples though. Angkor was not to see on this trip, but it was not missed either. All the logistics worked well. Great communication, pick up was flawless and a nice surprise waits for you, but no spoilers from my side. Book it and you’ll enjoy … I’m sure. I can’t wait to see the pictures. Also … we were a bit of an odd number…”

“Great view of Siem Reap and Angkor temple! It’s great that there’s this option to see the city from a bird view angle! Beautiful scenery! It lasted very short, that’s the only thing. It felt quite private, as we were just 5 people total in the balloon.”

8.From Krong Siem Reap: Angkor Hot Air Balloon Ride w/ Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 4 reviews · 30 min · from $175

Sunrise or sunset hot air balloon ride from Siem Reap with hotel pickup, bird-eye views of Bakong and Lolei, and a 30-minute flight.

“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.”
