Seven hours, one restored Willys jeep, and a day that goes wherever you point it.
This is the one Adventures Cambodia product with no fixed route and no fixed script. The $99 buys the whole jeep rather than a seat on it, so with three of you that is $33 each, against $99 each for a guided day. You get a driver who knows every road out of town and a full tank, then you decide what the day looks like. Take the wheel yourself if you have an international driving permit, or hand it straight back and just watch the country go past.
Every rental is a restored vintage Willys jeep: original body, original character, and a drivetrain we have quietly brought up to date. We re-engine ours with cleaner, more eco-friendly engines and fit automatic gearboxes, so they run smooth and quiet rather than loud and rattly. There is a soft canvas top overhead for shade and no side covers at all, so you sit out in the open with the country going past at eye level. It seats three adults.
Your driver takes the wheel for the whole seven hours. They know the back roads, the shortcuts around the temple traffic and where to park in the shade, so you get to look at the view instead of the road.
Take the wheel at no extra charge with a valid international driving permit alongside your home licence. The jeeps are automatic, so no manual endorsement is needed. Your driver stays with you the whole time and takes over the moment you want them to.
These are ideas, not an itinerary. Nothing here is booked in advance, so you can mix them, skip them or invent something else on the morning. Two things worth knowing when you plan: the Angkor park opens at 5:00 AM and closes at 6:30 PM, and every temple named above needs an Angkor Pass, which is not included in the rental.
You brought a licence. You may as well use it.
There is a particular moment on a rented jeep day that no guided tour gives you. You pull off the sealed road onto red dirt, your driver moves across to the passenger seat, and suddenly the whole thing is yours: a vintage Willys, an empty lane through the palms, and nobody telling you when to be back at the vehicle.
It is easier than it sounds. The jeeps are automatic, they are slow by design, and your driver is sitting right beside you the whole time, so if a junction looks like more than you fancy you just swap back. Most guests drive some of the day and are driven for the rest. There is no penalty either way and no extra cost, and you can change your mind as often as you like.

Angkor per fiets - een geweldige ervaring. Prachtige tocht over paden door de sublieme site van Angkor. Schitterend landschap, meer, bos en tempelbezoeken weg van de massa.
Verschillende zeer interessante bezoeken aan de markt Naar een traditioneel huis Naar een familie die palmsap maakt. Het was een prachtige ervaring en we hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad De excursie was echt heel goed en de gids en de chauffeur en ook de fotograaf waren erg vriendelijk. We kregen veel informatie en de bezoeken waren van topkwaliteit en de ontvangst uitstekend. Ik raad het aan.

Andere omgeving en onderdompeling! Een zeer leuke ervaring via een lokale vereniging, een markt, daarna het platteland met lunch op een boerderij.
Angkor VIP-stijl. Heerlijke dag in het gezelschap van Benedict die ons van de gebaande paden nam, om de schat van Angkor te ontdekken, weg van de drukte van toeristen. Vertrek vanuit ons huis in een vintage jeep. Verfrissende doekjes geparfumeerd met jasmijnwater. Tempels, zowel prachtig als geïsoleerd. Kleine paadjes in de jungle. Achterdeuren. Een paar mysteries onthuld dankzij zijn gedetailleerde kennis van de locaties en hun geschiedenis. Uitstekende lunch thuis. Een onmisbare en niet te missen uitstap.
Yes, at no extra cost. You need a valid international driving permit alongside your home country licence. Your driver comes with the jeep either way and stays with you all day, so you can drive as much or as little as you feel like and hand the wheel back at any point.
No. We fit our jeeps with automatic gearboxes, so a standard licence and international driving permit are enough and no manual endorsement is needed. They are also slow, light and easy to place on a narrow road, which makes them far less intimidating to drive than they look.
For the whole jeep, which is what makes it cheap. Our guided jeep days are priced per person and start at $99 each. Here the $99 covers the vehicle, the driver and a full tank however many of you there are, so three people ride for $33 each and two for under $50 each. That is the lowest per-person price on our jeep range. On your own it is $99 for the whole jeep, the same as a guided day, so solo travellers usually get more for their money from the guided tour.
The jeep seats three adults, and every rental is 100% private, so you are never sharing with another party. Larger groups are fine: we add a second jeep and driver rather than putting you in something bigger, and each jeep is charged at the same flat $99.
No, and this is the main thing to understand before booking. The $99 covers the jeep, a driver and a full tank of fuel. Your driver knows the roads, the shortcuts and where to eat, but they are not a licensed temple guide and will not walk you around Angkor explaining it. If you would rather have a guide with you for the day, message us on WhatsApp before you book and we will talk it through.
Our insurance covers the vehicle. It does not cover bodily injury, which stays your own responsibility whether you are driving or being driven, so we strongly encourage travel health insurance for your trip. Your driver is with you the whole day either way.
Less than most people expect. The jeeps are automatic and slow, the roads out to the temples are sealed and well signed, and your own driver sits beside you the entire time to navigate and take over whenever you want. Plenty of guests drive the quiet countryside stretches and let the driver handle town traffic.
The Angkor Pass is not included, and you need one for every temple inside the park. A one-day pass costs $37. Buy it online in advance at angkorenterprise.gov.kh rather than at the gate. If you are only driving the countryside and staying out of the park, you do not need a pass at all.
Comfortably: the main temple loop (Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm) with a long lunch, or the quieter outer ring, or Banteay Srei with countryside on the way. Banteay Srei is about an hour's drive each way, so it uses up a good half of the day. The park itself is open from 5:00 AM to 6:30 PM, and there is nothing stopping you spending the whole seven hours on dirt roads and never entering it.
It is open-air: no doors, no windows, no side covers, with a soft canvas top overhead for shade. Bring a hat and sun cover. If it drizzles the soft top goes up and the sides stay open, and in heavy rain your driver will wait it out at a temple shelter or a local café.
At your hotel, free of charge, anywhere inside Siem Reap town limits. The jeep itself comes to collect you, so there is no separate transfer. Tell us your pickup time when you book and we will be outside.
Extra hours are $10 each, subject to the jeep being free afterwards. Tell your driver as early in the day as you can rather than at the seven-hour mark, so we can check whether it is booked out behind you.
Yes. Because the $99 covers the whole jeep, it costs the same however your group is made up, and a child seat can be fitted on request if you mention it when booking. There is a step up into the jeep, so small children usually want a hand getting in.
Yes, one full tank, which covers a normal day around Siem Reap and the Angkor park with room to spare. If you are planning something unusually long, say so when you book and we will tell you honestly whether the tank will stretch.
Ik groeide op binnen de muren van Angkor Wat, in de pagode waar mijn grootvader, Loung Sake, als Grootabt diende. De pagode staat er vandaag de dag nog steeds, net binnen de omheining.
Meisjes mochten niet in het klooster slapen, dus schoor ik mijn hoofd kaal en kleedde me als jongen om dicht bij hem te zijn. Hij leerde me Sanskriet op palmbladeren.
Adventures Cambodia begon in 2013. Elke tour is privé en wordt geleid door een local.
