Itinerary

IPhnom Penh to Kep by the sea

Your guide and driver meet you in Phnom Penh and head south through rice country to Kep, Cambodia's smallest coastal province. Lunch is on the way. Check in at your seaside hotel and take the afternoon at your own pace. In the late afternoon, stroll along the seafront promenade as the sun sets over the Gulf of Thailand, then enjoy a seafood dinner in town.Overnight: Kep · Meals: L, D

IIRabbit Island and the Kep crab market

In the morning, take a boat to Rabbit Island, or Koh Tonsay, a short crossing from Kep. Swim off the quiet beach, rest in the shade and enjoy a relaxed seafood lunch prepared by island families. Return to the mainland in the afternoon and walk through the crab market, where the catch comes straight from bamboo traps in the bay. If you like, add a visit to a hillside pepper farm. The evening is free.Overnight: Kep · Meals: B, L, D

IIIPepper farm, salt fields and Kampot River

Drive to Kampot, stopping at a working pepper plantation to see how Kampot's prized pepper is grown, picked and dried. Where timing allows, visit the salt fields outside town, where salt is raked from shallow pans by hand. In the afternoon, choose a gentle cruise or a kayak trip on the Kampot River with the green slopes of Bokor on the horizon, then wander the colonial riverside quarter.Overnight: Kampot · Meals: B, L, D

Today is yours. Relax by the pool, linger over coffee in one of Kampot's riverside cafés, or ask us to arrange an optional half day towards the beaches.

    Questions

    Before you book

    Is this tour suitable for older travelers?

    Yes. The pace is easy, drives are around three hours, and walking is light. The boat to Rabbit Island is short, and we can skip it if the sea is rough.

    Can we add a beach stay on the islands?

    Yes. We can replace the last Kampot night with Koh Rong or Koh Rong Samloem, or add extra nights there. The speedboat and island hotel are quoted separately.

    Can we combine this with Angkor?

    Easily. Most guests start in Siem Reap for the temples, fly or drive to Phnom Penh, then end with these slow days on the coast.

    Can we have a guide who speaks our language?

    Yes. This is a private tour with your own guide in your language: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese or Vietnamese (Laos & Cambodia subject to availability). Tell us when you enquire and we confirm your guide in the quote. Book early for the December to April high season.

    How do the deposit and payment work?

    Nothing is payable until you approve your written quote. We then ask for a 30% deposit to confirm, and the balance 45 days before arrival, by bank transfer or card. Bank details come with your booking confirmation; always confirm them with us by phone or WhatsApp (+84 812 247 572) before any transfer.
