Beach Extension: Siem Reap to Koh Rong
Beach Extension: Siem Reap to Koh Rong
Cambodia’s leading seaside destination, Sihanoukville is located off a peninsula on the Gulf of Thailand. It is Cambodia‘s gateway to a delightful archipelago of popular off-shore islands. This coastal city has undergone rapid development to accommodate a growing tourism industry. Dining, drinking and partying are in abundance, as well as a wealth of accommodation choices to suit all budgets. The off-shore island of Koh Rong provides great sunbathing and snorkelling experiences. For a more exclusive environment, the nearby small islands of Koh Russey, and Koh Krabey offer the ultimate tropical island experience, without the tourism development seen in other regional destinations.
Itinerary
Beach lovers are in for a treat as we head to the idyllic tropical island of Koh Rong. Catch a short domestic flight to Sihanoukville. We are then driven to the pier to board a shared speedboat for a 45-minute-plus cruise to Koh Rong. After checking-in at the resort, we have the rest of the day free at leisure to start laidback island life, with three days ahead of us to kick back on the island’s powder white shores, explore its jungle interior, or hit the waters to explore other nearby islands. Lunch and dinner are at your leisure. Koh Rong is Cambodia’s largest island and it is blessed with a stunning range of blissful beaches and a rugged jungle interior. The drive is without a guide. Overnight in Koh Rong.
Please note: The official check-in time is 2 pm. An early check-in is subject to room availability.
Unwind on the shore, go beach-hopping, or discover the vibrant underwater world with a free day to kick back on Koh Rong. Koh Rong remains relatively undeveloped, with a smattering of resorts, guesthouses and small communities speckled along its shores. Koh Touch is where the public ferry drops visitors, and this is home to a bustling stretch of lively guesthouses and bars that generally welcome the backpacker crew. Those seeking a deserted island life can catch a boat to northern Lonely Beach, a 7 km stretch of powder white sands without the people. With delicious clear turquoise waters beckoning, a snorkelling session is a great way to dive into the underwater world, or explore the sea by kayak, or paddle-board. Cap off the day with sundowners watching a stunning sunset. Lunch and dinner are at your leisure. Overnight in Kong Rong.
Please note: There is no car or guide available today.
Continue enjoying lazy island life with another free day. Koh Rong is surrounded by a smattering of stunning islands. Why not join a boat tour, or hire a private boat and get exploring? Head to neighbouring Koh Rong Samloem, or super-chilled Koh Ta Kiev. Thrill seekers can choose to get the adrenaline pumping at High Point Rope Park, which offers zip lining through the canopy of trees that hug the island’s interior. A taste of island life can be found at Sok San and Koh Touch villages. Again, round out the day watching another sublime sunset. Overnight in Kong Rong.
Please note: There is no car or guide available today.
We enjoy breakfast and may have free time to enjoy some last moments on the beach before we trade in lazy island life for the cosmopolitan capital. We will check-out and head to the pier to board a shared speedboat four a 45-minute-plus cruise back to the mainland. We then drive to Sihanoukville Airport for domestic flight to Siem Reap. Lunch and dinner is at leisure.
Please note: The drive is without a guide.
