“Had an amazing experience from start to finish. The guide was gracious they called me a few days ago and gave me all the information I needed. I always got a response to whatever question I wanted. The driver was spot on and the balloon ride was exceptional. Highly recommend recommended”
Float in a tethered helium balloon about 800m from Angkor Wat, reaching 120m for a 15-minute sunrise or sunset bird’s-eye view.
“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.”

Explore Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom with a local guide, Khmer lunch, and a 10-minute tethered balloon ride when weather allows.
“Since there aren’t many tourists around, I was the only person who showed up on this “tour group”- which was fantastic! Had a guide called Mr. Phy whom showed all the best hidden spots, he was well versed in the history of Ankor Wat and took the best pictures on my phone! I had fun :D”
Float above Angkor at sunrise or sunset for about 30 minutes, with hotel pickup and temple views of Bakong, Preah Ko, and Lolei.
“just beautifully executed. export pilot, dreamy and lovely experience.”
Tethered helium balloon near Angkor Wat for sunrise or sunset, with hotel pickup in Siem Reap and about 30 minutes up in the gondola.
“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.”
