Très belle visite en scooter des principaux temples autour de Siam Reap. Le guide était excellent. Nous avons pu échanger en français avec l'organisation. Le restaurant du deuxième jour était remarquable.
Angkor Wat at sunrise on the first day. Sunset on the Tonlé Sap on the second.
Two half-days, each timed to the best light of the day. Day 1: collected at 4:45 AM in your own Vespa or Jeep, Angkor Wat as the sun comes up, back at your hotel by noon. Day 2: your own boat through a village on stilts, sunset on the Tonlé Sap, back by 7:30 PM. The afternoon of the first day and the morning of the second are yours.
Into the park in the dark, the sunrise by the north pond, then breakfast, then Bayon and Ta Prohm before the day gets hot.
Day one is breakfast only, with no lunch stop, because it finishes at noon. What you do with the afternoon is up to you: most guests take the pool and a late lunch, some go back into town for the old market.
A free morning, a Jeep run out to the great lake, a private boat through a village on stilts, and the light going down over open water.
The village looks completely different depending on the water level, and neither version is the wrong one to see. The mangrove paddle needs high water, so it is not on every departure. Day 2 is outside the park, so no Angkor Pass is needed for it. We will not schedule it on a Phare Circus evening.
The Angkor Wat sunrise is the most-wanted twenty minutes in Cambodia. The gates open at 5:00 AM, before first light, so you are inside and in position while the sky is still dark and the five towers come up out of it. Your guide picks the spot, away from the busiest stretch of the pond, and you have it for as long as you want it.
Kampong Phluk is a floating village built on stilts, an hour east of Siem Reap on the Tonlé Sap. You go through it on your own boat while the village gets on with its evening, then out onto open water for the sunset with drinks and snacks aboard. This is the one guests send us photographs of weeks after they get home.

If you want to visit the Temples through the Angkor forest, this is the best idea to sneak into it on a Vespa ! And you can still enjoy the sunset and stay secured thanks to the guide. We really enjoyed ! Thank you !
Angkor VIP style. Wonderful day in the company of Benedict who took us off the beaten track, discover treasures of Angkor, away from the crowds of tourists. Departure from our house in vintage jeep. Refreshing wipes scented with jasmine water. Temples, both splendid and isolated. Little paths in the jungle. Backdoors. A few mysteries revealed thanks to his detailed knowledge of the sites and their history. Exquisite lunch at home. An indispensable and unavoidable escape.
Fantastic day out Really fantastic tour on the Vespas - thanks so much to our three guides who made us feel safe and looked after us really well. They took us to see the mine detecting rats (brilliant visit) which was unexpected, and the lake and lunch. Really a super day out.
Siem Reap Vespa Our Vespa guide was spectacular. His English was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the city and its culture. He answered all questions, including restaurant recommendations for other sites in the country to see, and even answered a few questions about Anger Wat that we forgot to ask. Our drivers were cautious, We also went on a Vespa Tour with the same sound quality in Hanoi.
Great Trip and Staff is A+++. Great experience to try all kinds of food and the staff is amazing. They drive very safe and have a lot of fun too. Was able to give them preferences and what we like and don't like, they nailed the experience. Thanks Vespa Tour Team! A++++
Daily Life of Cambodia people. We could experience a lot of the daily life of Cambodian people. In the hot weather, this means of transport was enjoyable. All our questions have been answered. We will not forget this journey on the Vespa.
Another view of Siem Rep. Tour of Seam Rep on Vespa made another vision of the town. Food street was amazing! And our daughter was a good singer at the karaoke! All the family enjoyed this trip
Because the two best hours of light are twelve hours apart. Angkor Wat is at its best at dawn and Kampong Phluk at sunset.
Given a day each, the temple morning finishes at noon and the lake does not start until mid-afternoon. Neither half is rushed, and you keep a free afternoon and a free morning.
Yes, and once. It is the single most-wanted experience in Siem Reap and the light on the towers reflected in the northern pond is genuinely worth the alarm. What ruins it for most people is the delivery: a shared bus on a fixed departure, several hundred people, and a boxed breakfast in a car park afterwards.
You go in your own vehicle at a time we set with you, your guide picks the spot, and once the light is up you stop for a proper breakfast before the morning temples.
It moves through the year, so we set your pickup against your own dates rather than printing one time. The park gates open at 5:00 AM, before first light, which is why the 4:45 AM pickup works. As a rough guide, sunrise is around 5:40 AM in June and drifts later toward the winter months.
No. Your Jeep or Vespa collects you, the same vehicle you have for the rest of the day. Both are road-legal with proper headlights, so there is no need to swap into anything else for the dark leg. Tuk-tuks are used for the pre-dawn pickup on our e-bike sunrise tour only, where riding in the dark would not be safe.
Yes, on day one. Once the light is up we stop for breakfast at a pagoda or a Khmer house, or back at your hotel if you are staying close by, before carrying on to Bayon and Ta Prohm. Which one depends on the day, and your guide will tell you the evening before.
No, and neither day needs one. Day one finishes around noon, so it runs on breakfast and drinks and you eat lunch back in town. Day two does not collect you until mid-afternoon, so you have already had lunch by then, and there are drinks and snacks on the boat.
The 1-day pass, $37 per person, bought online in advance at angkorenterprise.gov.kh rather than queued for at the office. Day one at Angkor Wat uses it. Day two is on the Tonlé Sap, outside the park, and needs no ticket at all. The 1-day pass needs no identification photo, unlike the longer ones. Children under 12 enter the park free with a passport.
No, and this trip has no window to work inside. Your pass covers the one Angkor morning and the lake day needs no pass, so the two halves can sit wherever they suit the rest of your trip, a day apart or a week apart. Tell us your dates and we will set both.
Kampong Phluk, about an hour from Siem Reap, not Chong Kneas. Chong Kneas is the closest to town and the one with the documented problems: boats diverting to overpriced floating restaurants, pressured donations, and years of poor reviews to show for it. We go out on a private boat belonging to one of the Kampong Phluk families rather than on a shared twenty-seater.
The village looks completely different, and it is worth seeing either way. High water means boats mooring where people's front steps end and the mangrove reachable by paddled boat. Low water means the same houses standing clear on stilts you could park a car under, a longer approach over dry ground, and usually no mangrove trip. Tell us your dates when you enquire and we will tell you which version you are booking.
We can arrange it on request, but we do not recommend it and we do not sell it as a product. Kampong Phluk at sunset is the version worth travelling for, and a morning run there means going straight from one early start into another.
Yes, though think about the 4:45 AM start before you book it for young ones. Ages 4 to 12 get 30% off, which brings it to $139.30, and under-4s go free. Children under 12 also enter the park free with a passport. The free afternoon after day one usually matters more with children than without them.
At your own hotel. This is a touring itinerary, not a package with accommodation, and we collect you from your door both days.
I grew up inside the walls of Angkor Wat, in the pagoda where my grandfather, Loung Sake, served as Grand Abbot. The pagoda still stands today, just inside the enclosure.
Girls weren't allowed to sleep in the monastery, so I shaved my head and dressed as a boy to stay close to him. He taught me Sanskrit on palm leaves.
Adventures Cambodia started in 2013. Every tour is private and led by a local.
