Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Guided Tour
Full description
This is an 8-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Bus/coach, Angkor Wat and Tonle Om Gate (Southern Gate). It is run by Siem Reap Experiences, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Sunrise at Angkor Wat is watched from the edge of the northern reflecting pool, where the five towers come up black against the sky and then double in the water. The ticket office opens at 04:30 and Angkor Wat lets people in from 05:00, which is why tours leave Siem Reap around 04:30 for a twenty-minute drive; the sky colours before the sun clears the towers, so arriving at first light is already late for the best of it. Dry season from November to March gives the cleanest skies, while the rains bring cloud that can either kill the sunrise or make it. The pool edge fills early, the southern pool is usually quieter, and a guide who knows which side to stand on is the difference between a photograph and a wall of raised phones.
The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Air-conditioned minibus, tour guide, Explore 5 different temples and Chilled bottled water. It does not cover Temple pass and Meals, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Fantastic trip. The guide Sok was excellent! I can 100% recommend this tour!
John was our tour guide, and he was amazing. I actually didn't think I cared do the sunrise tour, but I appreciated starting nice and early so we could skip the midday heat. And yes, the sunrise was stunning too. John was very knowledgeable and made the day easy. Highly recommend this tour. As Angkor Wat has a lot to see, it was nice to have someone keeping a good pace, and getting in as much as you could in a single day.
Vone was an absolutely excellent guide! He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient throughout the entire tour. He explained the history and stories behind the temples in a clear and fascinating way, making the experience much more meaningful and enjoyable.
