Flight of the Gibbon in Siem Reap, Cambodia

One-day itinerary: Flight of the Gibbon and Phare Ponleu Selpak Circus

Country: Cambodia

1 Day

Siem Reap, Cambodia: This morning you will be met at your hotel at 8 a.m. by a representative of Flight of the Gibbon as you head out to enjoy Angkor Park from a new prospective with their unique zip lining experience. After a safety briefing, you will be personally outfitted in the proper gear by one of their highly trained Sky Rangers. Next you will head up into the canopy to climb and zip your way across the course and through the jungle. Cross sky bridges while taking in the forest views from up high before returning safely back to the ground. Finish your morning with a traditional Khmer meal before being transferred back to your hotel.

This evening you will be treated to a unique performance by the Cambodian Circus, also known as the hugely talented Phare Ponleu Selpak from your VIP seats. Literally translated as “the brightness of the arts,” this Artistic and Social Center has been running as a non-profit association since 1994, and was founded by a group of young ex-refugees from Battambang Province. With your reserved VIP seats, there is no need to wait in line your seat is reserved for you. Sitting in the centre of the big top tent, you will witness some remarkable acrobatics and visual arts while supporting one of Cambodia’s most inspiring projects. Performances start at 8 p.m.
