Private Angkor Wat Sunrise Jeep Tour

Sunrise at Angkor Wat is one of the best-known moments of a visit to Cambodia, and this tour makes the early start part of the experience: you ride in a vintage open-air jeep through the quiet roads of Siem Reap, accompanied by a licensed English-speaking temple guide. The listing calls it a private sunrise jeep adventure, and the price is quoted per group of up to two people.

You are collected at your hotel before dawn and driven to Angkor Wat, with the aim of arriving before the crowds. You watch the sun rise behind the towers of the temple. Afterwards the tour continues with a private visit to Angkor Wat and the Bayon, with the guide adjusting the pace to your interests and explaining Khmer history, architecture and culture. Cold water and towels are provided, and you return to your hotel before the heat of the day. The whole outing lasts about five and a half hours.

The price includes the pickup and drop-off, the jeep and driver, the licensed guide, and the water and towels. The Angkor Temple Pass, US$37 per person, is required and is not included. Meals, breakfast and tips are also extra. The dress code is smart casual, with shoulders and knees covered. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not suitable for babies under one year.

The sunrise depends on the weather and may not be visible on cloudy or rainy days. The operator is Jeep Tour Siem Reap Angkor, and the tour is booked through GetYourGuide with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

It suits couples and solo travellers who want the early start and a different way to arrive. For a longer visit across several days, the private 2-day Angkor temples tour on this site covers the other major temples.
