Review of Angkor Balloon near Angkor Wat, with sunrise and sunset views, hotel pickup, practical timing advice, price analysis, and key drawbacks.
“booked for sunset, and on the day they said it was fully booked offered trip before. which turned out to be much shorter. 10 minutes from lifting off to landing. didn't offer a partial refund to reflect shorter trip.”
See Bakong and Lolei from a sunrise or sunset balloon, with hotel pickup, a 30-minute flight, and clear advice on value and timing.
“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.”
