Cambodia Intro

Landing in bustling Phnom Penh, we'll meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel, where you'll meet up with your travel crew and get excited for the adventures to come. Tonight we'll then kick things off with dinner and drinks.

Today will start with a tuk tuk tour through the colourful, busy streets of Phnom Penh. We'll then pay a visit to two locations that played a pivotal role in Cambodia's sad and troubled history - the S21 Prison, and the Killing Fields. The stories and history you'll learn here will be difficult, however also necessary to understand Cambodia's past, including the brutal reign of the Khmer Rouge.

This evening, dinner, drinks and a night out Phnom Penh style are on the agenda.

Swapping city streets for laid back country roads, today we'll travel to the peaceful countryside province of Kampot, our home for the next two nights. After settling in to our cosy traditional guesthouse nestled right by the river, this afternoon we'll travel by kayak, weaving slowly down the river whilst soaking in the tranquil surroundings.

Fun fact - Kampot is famed for producing some of the best pepper in the world. We'll be putting that theory to the test this morning as we visit a pepper plantation.

This afternoon it's time for a big cook off as we learn how to make some of Cambodia's most iconic dishes, before heading out on the river for a chilled out sunset cruise.

Never had Cambodia down as much of a beach destination? Just wait until you get to Koh Rong Sanloem. We'll travel by train and fast ferry to reach this paradisiacal island, where we'll be checking in to our island paradise accommodation that is owned by the Chief of the village! This afternoon, feel yourself slipping in to island time as you laze on the beach, beer in hand and snapping up those island Insta pics at the Cliff Bar for sunset.

It's all aboard a private long tail boat this morning as we head out to uncover some of the island's best snorkel spots. Expect to find yourself chilling out on secluded beaches, or exploring the colourful underwater world as you swim with tropical fish.

This evening's sunset will be the perfect time to reflect on another ridiculously awesome day together.

Waking up on our last day in Koh Rong Sanloem, we'll spend the morning relaxing on the beach. We'll then catch the ferry back to the mainland for dinner before boarding an overnight bus bound for Siem Reap. With fully reclining beds and air con, this is bus travelling in style.

Arrive in Siem Reap in the morning. From there we'll venture out to the rural areas and discover some traditional floating villages surrounded by lush rice fields, lotus flowers and flooded forests.

Saving the best for last, today's the day you'll get to cast eyes on one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World. Built in the first half of the 12th century, Angkor Wat is one of the oldest and largest temples in the world. We'll explore the site and learn the history with a local guide, and maybe even reenact our favourite Tomb Raider scenes as we visit Ta Prohm, a temple that featured in the movie.

Your unforgettable 10 day adventure comes to an end today. Those flying home will make their way to the airport, or keep living the dream and extend your stay in Cambodia or South East Asia with our help and the new friends you've made.
