Siem Reap
Angkor Wat Sunrise & Tour
Rise early for a 4:30am start - it’s worth it to catch the sunrise over the temples of Angkor Wat. This UNESCO World Heritage site is visually and architecturally stunning, and one of Southeast Asia’s most important archaeological treasures. Watch as the sun rises over the iconic towers and reflecting pools, and marvel at the intricate carvings that showcase the skill of the Khmer builders. Cameras at the ready... this is a moment you won’t forget.
After sunrise, explore the jungle-clad Ta Prohm temple, where the morning sounds of the forest set the perfect atmosphere before the crowds arrive. For those up for it, there’s an optional 1km walk from the South Gate to a hidden temple, or you can wander through Angkor’s other iconic sites like Bayon, Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Leper King. After a full day of exploring, the evening is yours to relax or enjoy dinner with your group.

Can I get in touch with my group or leader before the trip?
Yes! Around two weeks before your tour, your group leader will be added to your group WhatsApp. You’ll also be able to connect with your fellow travellers in our private destination-specific community so you can start sharing tips, hype, and travel excitement before you even arrive.
Money
In Cambodia, US dollars are widely accepted alongside the local currency (Cambodian Riel), so you’ll often use a mix of both during your trip.
For convenience and to avoid high foreign exchange fees, many travellers use a travel card such as Wise or Revolut. This allows you to pay in local currency with minimal charges, and you can also withdraw cash from ATMs if needed.
Best Time to Travel
Cambodia enjoys warm tropical weather all year round, making it a great destination whenever you visit. The dry season runs from November to April, bringing plenty of sunshine and ideal conditions for exploring temples and cities, while the green season from May to October sees short tropical showers that keep the landscapes lush and vibrant.
Even during the wetter months, rain usually comes in quick bursts rather than lasting all day, so there’s still plenty of time to explore.
No matter when you travel, our tours are designed to make the most of the local conditions, so you’ll always enjoy a mix of culture, adventure, and unforgettable experiences.
Food
Cambodia’s food scene is full of flavour, with a mix of traditional Khmer dishes, street food favourites, and international options.
Try classics like:
Amok: a creamy coconut curry, often served with fish
Lok Lak: stir-fried beef served with rice and a tangy dipping sauce
You’ll find a great mix of local cuisine and familiar options throughout your trip, from street food markets to cafés and restaurants. Expect fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and plenty of new dishes to try.
Many meals are included on your itinerary, but you’ll also have free time to explore and find your own favourite spots.
Vegetarian and vegan options are widely available, and most places can cater to different dietary needs. For a full breakdown of what’s included, check the day-by-day itinerary on your tour page.
Nightlife
Cambodia’s nightlife is laid-back, social, and full of variety. From rooftop bars and riverside drinks in Phnom Penh to lively night markets and buzzing bars in Siem Reap, there’s plenty to explore once the sun goes down.
Whether you’re heading out for cocktails, live music, or a relaxed evening with the group, there’s something for every vibe.
Not a big drinker? No problem. There’s absolutely no pressure to drink on our trips, and plenty of people choose to stay sober or take nights off. Whether you’re there for the atmosphere, the food, or just good company, you’ll always feel comfortable doing things your own way.
Do I need a visa?
UK passport holders can visit Cambodia by obtaining a visa on arrival, which is a simple and straightforward process at the airport.
Your local guide will be there to assist and make sure everything runs smoothly, so you don’t need to worry about figuring it out alone.
For the most up-to-date information, we always recommend checking official government guidance before you travel.
