Watch the sun rise behind the spires of the famous building, bringing light to the day. Admire the changing colors of the sky in what is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences. After the sun is high in the sky, explore the temple’s grounds inside and out with your guide, learning about the temple’s history and stories of the engravings found on the temple’s walls. After exploring you are returned to your hotel.

Non-customer oriented tour provider!

Think twice before booking a tour with this supplier! I booked a tour and realized immediately after I had booked wrong. Contacted Viator who informed me that this supplier cannot be cancelled, without “fining” 100% of the cost. It was also not possible to change the date. Terribly bad and certainly not customer-oriented company. They have no flexibility whatsoever. In addition, this tour is very expensive compared to other similar tours. So tip is to check out similar tours, also to have the opportunity to at least change dates if needed!

Amazing Angkor Wat / Siem Reap

This was the most amazing tour I’ve experienced yet!! MR DALING SENG WAS AWAZING!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾🎆❤️ He was kind, considerate and knowledgeable. Flyer in English and French which made things easier. The hospitality, and service we experienced from stay at the Hyatt Park Siem Reap was second to none. DEFINITE COMING BACK!!! Thank you Cambodia for great memories.

Is it really worth it?

OK, controversial because it's supposed to be a bucket list experience. Up at 4 am. Tuk tuk ride in the dark followed by a long walk in the dark with every other tourist, most of who will not shut up. You eventually reach your viewing spot and try to find a place to watch from just as the pale light begins to glow behind the temple. After about half an hour you have the full dawn but still no sunshine. I think the odds are that you have maybe 1 in 10 chances at most of an actual sunrise so you have to ask. Is it worth it? I really don't think it was. The dress standard is also an issue. Knees and shoulders must be covered but from what I saw many people just didn't get the memo.

Angkor Wat at Sunrise: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

How much does Angkor Wat at Sunrise cost?

+

Prices start at $36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Angkor Wat at Sunrise take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

Is Angkor Wat at Sunrise worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Angkor Wat at Sunrise?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Angkor Wat at Sunrise suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Angkor Wat at Sunrise?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Angkor Wat at Sunrise start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

+

On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Small-Group and Guide tours, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
