Arrive in Siem Reap, sunset at Pre Rup
Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport to Siem Reap, then Pre Rup
- Welcome dinner
- Stay in Siem Reap
- Drive about 1.5 h
Fly into Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport, which opened in 2023 about 50 km east of town. A driver meets you in arrivals for the drive in, about an hour. Our hotel is central, a short walk from the Old Market and the river. If you land early, rest by the pool or stroll past the Royal Gardens and the Royal Residence, a white Khmer-style palace on the riverside avenue. At about 4:30 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a briefing on the twelve days, then we drive to the Angkor ticket office, where your three-day pass is printed with your photo after about 4:45 pm.
Evening
A pass bought then also lets you in for that evening's sunset, which we watch from Pre Rup, a 10th-century temple-mountain of brick and laterite looking over rice fields and palms. Back in town, we walk to a welcome dinner of Khmer dishes such as fish amok steamed in banana leaf. If your flight lands after about 3 pm, you join the group at dinner and get your pass in the morning.
Included
- Pick-up at Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Three-day Angkor pass
- Sunset at Pre Rup
- Welcome dinner
Free time: Free until the late-afternoon briefing
Activity: Plan to land by early afternoon for the sunset. The steps at Pre Rup are steep; you can watch from the base.
Angkor Wat at sunrise, Ta Prohm and the Bayon
Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, then Angkor Thom and the Bayon
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Siem Reap
- Drive about 1.5 h
Morning
We leave the hotel at about 4:45 am, the one pre-dawn start of the trip, and walk across the causeway to the pools in front of Angkor Wat as its towers appear against the sky. Built in the early 12th century under King Suryavarman II, and listed by UNESCO with the rest of Angkor in 1992, it is the largest temple in the park. When most people head back for breakfast at about 7, we eat ours, packed by the hotel, and go in with a licensed Angkor guide: along the carved galleries and up the steep stair to the central towers. Next is Ta Prohm, where the roots of silk-cotton and strangler fig trees grip the walls, before it is at its busiest.
Afternoon
Lunch is at a restaurant near the park, then the hotel for a rest through the heat. At about 3 pm we go back through the South Gate of Angkor Thom to the Bayon, whose carved stone faces are best in late light, then the Baphuon and the Terrace of the Elephants.
Evening
The evening is free.
Included
- Sunrise at Angkor Wat
- Angkor Wat with a licensed Angkor guide, including the upper level when open
- Ta Prohm
- Lunch near the park
- Angkor Thom in the late afternoon: the South Gate, the Bayon, the Baphuon and the Terrace of the Elephants
Optional experiences
- Phare, the Cambodian Circus, in the evening; your guide can book seats.
Easier option: Skip the sunrise and sleep in: after breakfast at the hotel, a driver brings you to meet the group at Angkor Wat at about 8 am.
More active option: In the late afternoon, walk a stretch of the Angkor Thom wall from the South Gate, about 3 km on a shaded earth path, and rejoin the group at the Bayon.
Free time: Middle of the day free at the hotel; evening free
Activity: About 4 hours on foot in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, on uneven stone. The stair to Angkor Wat's upper level is steep, needs covered shoulders and knees, and closes on Buddhist holy days.
Banteay Srei and a sunset on the Tonle Sap
Siem Reap to Banteay Srei and Banteay Samre, then Kampong Phluk on the Tonle Sap
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Siem Reap
- Drive about 3.5 h
Morning
We leave at about 7:30 am for Banteay Srei, about 35 km and 45 minutes north-east; most tour groups come mid-morning after Angkor Wat, so we are there ahead of the buses. Consecrated in 967, it is small and built of pink sandstone carved so finely it looks like wood.
Afternoon
On the way back we stop at Banteay Samre, a 12th-century temple in the style of Angkor Wat that few groups visit, and lunch is at a village restaurant nearby. The middle of the day is free at the hotel or the Old Market. At about 3:30 pm we drive south-east to Kampong Phluk, a village of stilt houses on the edge of the Tonle Sap, the largest lake in Southeast Asia. We go with an operator that pays the village's community fee, and skip the orphanage, school and rice-donation stops some boat trips push. In the wetter months people from the village paddle us in canoes through the flooded forest; from about February the water can be too low, and the boat runs out to the open lake instead. Then we watch the sun go down over the lake from the boat.
Evening
The evening is free.
Included
- Banteay Srei ahead of the mid-morning buses, with your Angkor guide
- Banteay Samre
- Lunch at a village restaurant
- Kampong Phluk by boat, with a canoe through the flooded forest and the community fee
- Sunset on the Tonle Sap
Easier option: Skip Banteay Samre and the canoe: stay in the shade, then on the larger boat for the sunset.
Free time: Middle of the day free; evening free
Activity: If the water in the flooded forest is too low for the canoes, which can happen from about February, the boat runs out to the open lake instead.
To Battambang: village workshops and the bats
Siem Reap to Battambang via Sisophon, then the countryside and Phnom Sampov by tuk-tuk
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Battambang
- Drive about 3.5 h
Morning
After breakfast we leave at about 8:30 am for Battambang, about 175 km away, around three and a half hours on the Sisophon road through flat rice country, with a coffee stop on the way.
Afternoon
We arrive in time for lunch by the Sangker River, in a town of French-era shophouses and far less traffic than Siem Reap. After a rest, at about 3 pm we swap the van for local tuk-tuks and ride out along the old French railway line and into the villages, stopping where families make rice paper, dry bananas in the sun and roast kralan, sticky rice with coconut and beans packed into bamboo.
Evening
Toward sunset we reach Phnom Sampov, about 12 km south-west of town, to watch a stream of bats, said to number in the millions, pour out of a cave and across the fields. The hill also holds the Killing Caves, a Khmer Rouge execution site with a small memorial; we go up only if the group wants to, and the bats are watched from the road below. Dinner is free, at riverside places your guide can point you to.
Included
- Drive from Siem Reap to Battambang with your guide
- Lunch in Battambang
- Late-afternoon tuk-tuk ride through the villages, with rice paper, dried banana and kralan makers
- The bats of Phnom Sampov at dusk
Optional experiences
- Phare Ponleu Selpak, the Battambang arts school where Cambodia's circus performers train, puts on shows on set evenings; your guide can book seats.
Easier option: Stay in town for the afternoon and join the group for the bats only.
More active option: Cycle the village loop instead of riding in a tuk-tuk, about 15 km on flat roads.
Free time: Early afternoon and evening free in Battambang
Activity: Our only one-night stop, placed to break the 465 km between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. The bat flight depends on the weather and lasts well after sunset.
Kampong Chhnang's potters and on to Phnom Penh
Battambang to Kampong Chhnang, then Phnom Penh on National Road 5
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Phnom Penh
- Drive about 5 h
Today is the long one. Phnom Penh is about 290 km south-east on National Road 5, around five hours of driving, which is over our four-hour cap. There is no better way: Battambang has no scheduled flights, and the passenger train is slower than the road. So we split the day. We leave at about 8 am after an early walk through Psar Nat, Battambang's art deco central market, and drive through Pursat and past rice fields and sugar palms. After about three hours we stop at Kampong Chhnang, on the Tonle Sap river, whose name means 'port of pots'.
Afternoon
In a village on the edge of town, potters shape the local clay into water jars and stoves by hand, walking around the pot instead of turning a wheel, and we watch and try for about an hour before a sit-down lunch. The last two hours bring us into Phnom Penh by late afternoon. The hotel is central, near the riverfront.
Evening
In the evening your guide briefs the group on tomorrow's visits to Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek, so nobody walks in unprepared.
Included
- Early walk through Psar Nat market in Battambang
- Drive from Battambang to Phnom Penh with your guide
- Pottery village visit at Kampong Chhnang
- Sit-down lunch in Kampong Chhnang
- Evening briefing on the genocide memorials
Free time: Evening free in Phnom Penh
Activity: The longest drive of the trip, with a village stop and lunch in the middle and short breaks on the way.
Tuol Sleng, Choeung Ek and the Royal Palace
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum to Choeung Ek, then the Royal Palace and the riverfront
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Phnom Penh
- Drive about 1.5 h
This is the hardest day of the trip, and we plan it with care. We reach the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum soon after it opens, while it is cool and quiet. A high school until 1975, it became S-21, the Khmer Rouge's main prison, where thousands of people were held and very few survived. A local guide who knows the history walks us through, and you can step out into the courtyard at any time. We then drive about 15 km south to Choeung Ek, where many S-21 prisoners were killed. Here you walk alone at your own pace with the site's audio guide, ending at the memorial stupa.
Afternoon
After a quiet sit-down lunch and a rest at the hotel, the afternoon turns to what Cambodia has kept: the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, whose floor is laid with silver tiles. Late in the day, walk along Sisowath Quay where the Tonle Sap river meets the Mekong, or look into Wat Ounalom, the riverside monastery.
Evening
The evening is free.
Included
- Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) with a local guide
- Choeung Ek memorial with the site's audio guide
- Sit-down lunch
- The Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda
Optional experiences
- The National Museum of Cambodia, next to the Royal Palace, for its Angkor-era sculpture
Easier option: If you would rather not visit Tuol Sleng and Choeung Ek, tell your guide the evening before: a local guide takes you to Wat Phnom and the Central Market instead, and you rejoin the group for lunch.
Free time: Rest after lunch; late afternoon and evening free
Activity: Shoulders and knees covered at the palace. At the memorials, no photos in the cells and voices kept low.
South to Kampot and a sunset on the river
Phnom Penh to Kampot on National Road 3, then a boat on the Kampot river
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Kampot
- Drive about 3.5 h
Morning
A slower morning: breakfast, a last look at the riverfront, or the Russian Market for silk and crafts if you are up early. We leave at about 9:30 am for Kampot, about 150 km south on National Road 3, around three and a half hours through rice fields and palm-sugar country, with a coffee stop on the way.
Afternoon
We arrive for a late lunch by the river. Kampot is a small, easy-going town on the Preaek Tuek Chhu river, with French-era shophouses, an old market and the long ridge of Bokor mountain behind. After checking in, your guide leads a short walk through the old town and over the old bridge. At about 5 pm we board a local boat for a slow trip upriver, past fishing boats and stilted houses, as the sun goes down behind Bokor.
Evening
The evening is free; Kampot has plenty of riverside places to eat, and the pace here is gentle. This is our base for the next three nights.
Included
- Drive from Phnom Penh to Kampot with your guide
- Lunch in Kampot
- Walk through Kampot's old town
- Sunset boat on the Kampot river
Free time: Morning free in Phnom Penh; evening free in Kampot
Activity: An easy day: the walk is about an hour on flat streets.
Pepper, salt, a cave temple and crab at Kep
Kampot to the salt fields and Phnom Chhnork, then a pepper farm and Kep
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Kampot
- Drive about 2.5 h
We start early, while it is cool, at the salt fields on the edge of town, where seawater dries in shallow pans and workers rake the salt by hand in the dry season. Next is Phnom Chhnork, a limestone hill reached by a path through rice fields; inside the cave stands a small brick temple of the pre-Angkorian period, thought to date from the 7th century. Then we drive toward the coast to a pepper farm. Kampot pepper has had a protected geographical indication since 2010, and here we walk between the vines, see how green, black, red and white pepper come from the same plant, and taste them.
Afternoon
Lunch is at Kep's crab market, where the women who run the stalls pull crabs from bamboo baskets in the sea, and they are cooked with fresh green pepper. Kep was a French seaside resort from the early 1900s, and the shells of its 1960s villas still stand along the coast road. The afternoon is free in Kep for the beach or a walk in the national park, or back in Kampot.
Included
- Kampot salt fields
- Phnom Chhnork cave temple
- Pepper farm visit and tasting
- Crab lunch at Kep's crab market
- Drive past Kep's 1960s villas
Optional experiences
- A boat to Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island) from Kep for the afternoon, about 20 minutes each way, if the sea is calm; your guide can arrange it.
Easier option: Stay at the foot of Phnom Chhnork while the group walks to the cave.
More active option: Walk the Kep National Park loop in the afternoon, about 8 km on a forest path with views over the sea.
Free time: Afternoon free in Kep or Kampot
Activity: The walk to Phnom Chhnork is about 20 minutes across fields, then steps into the cave. Salt is harvested in the dry season, roughly January to May.
Bokor mountain
Kampot to the Bokor plateau in Preah Monivong National Park, and back
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Kampot
- Drive about 2.5 h
Morning
We drive up Bokor in the cool of the morning, leaving at about 8 am, because cloud often builds on the plateau later in the day. The road climbs through forest for about 30 km to a plateau at about 1,000 m, where the air is fresher than anywhere else on the trip. In the 1920s the French built a hill station here, with a hotel, a stone Catholic church and villas, abandoned in the decades of war that followed. With a local guide we walk to the church and the old Bokor Palace building, look out over the coast and the islands of the Gulf of Thailand when the cloud allows, and visit Wat Sampov Pram, a hilltop pagoda named for the rocks around it said to look like five boats. In the wet months the Popokvil waterfall runs nearby, but by the dry season it is often low. Today the plateau also has a casino resort and new building, and we tell it as it is.
Evening
We are back in Kampot for a late lunch, and the afternoon and evening are free.
Included
- Preah Monivong (Bokor) National Park with a local guide
- The old French hill station: the church and the Bokor Palace building from outside
- Wat Sampov Pram
- Late lunch in Kampot
Optional experiences
- A Khmer massage in Kampot in the afternoon
Easier option: Stay with the vehicle at each stop; every viewpoint is a few steps from the road.
More active option: Walk between the church and the pagoda along the plateau road, about 4 km, with the vehicle following.
Free time: Afternoon and evening free in Kampot
Activity: Bring a light layer: it can be 10°C cooler and misty on the plateau. Access to the old buildings can change; your guide confirms on the day.
By speedboat to Koh Rong Sanloem
Kampot to Sihanoukville, then the ferry to Koh Rong Sanloem
- Breakfast
- Stay in Koh Rong Sanloem
- Drive about 2.5 h
Morning
After breakfast we leave Kampot at about 8:30 am for Sihanoukville, about 110 km west, around two and a half hours by road. At the pier we board a scheduled speedboat ferry for Koh Rong Sanloem, about 45 minutes to an hour across the Gulf of Thailand, depending on the sea. The island has almost no roads and no cars: paths join its bays, and boats do the rest.
Afternoon
Our stay is beachfront, on Saracen Bay's long curve of white sand or a quieter bay, and lunch is yours to take on the beach. In the late afternoon, if you feel like a walk, your guide leads the group along the jungle path across the island to Lazy Beach on the west coast, about 30 to 40 minutes, to watch the sun go down over the sea; a boat or the path brings us back. Otherwise, swim and stay put.
Evening
On a dark, moonless night, wade into the water to see whether the bioluminescent plankton are glowing. The evening is free.
Included
- Drive from Kampot to Sihanoukville with your guide
- Speedboat ferry to Koh Rong Sanloem
- Sunset walk to Lazy Beach with your guide
Easier option: Skip the walk and watch the light change from the beach at Saracen Bay.
Free time: Afternoon and evening free on the island
Activity: The ferry can be bumpy in a swell; it may be retimed or delayed in rough weather. The Lazy Beach path is uneven, with roots and short climbs; wear closed sandals or shoes and carry a torch for the way back.
Snorkelling and a free day on the island
Koh Rong Sanloem by boat, then the beach
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Stay in Koh Rong Sanloem
- By boat
Morning
The morning is on the water. At about 9 am we board a local boat for a half-day trip around Koh Rong Sanloem, with masks and fins on board. We stop at two or three spots over shallow coral and rocks, where you may see parrotfish, angelfish and sea urchins, and the boat crew can show you where to look. Visibility varies with the season and the weather; it is usually best from about December to March.
Afternoon
We stop at a quiet beach for a swim, and lunch is on board or at a beach restaurant on the way back. The afternoon is entirely free: lie in a hammock, swim, kayak along the bay, or walk to the fishing village of M'Pay Bay at the northern tip.
Evening
In the evening we gather on the sand for the farewell dinner, with grilled fish and Khmer dishes, and look back on twelve days from the temples of Angkor to the Gulf of Thailand.
Included
- Half-day snorkelling boat trip around Koh Rong Sanloem, with masks and fins
- Lunch
- Farewell dinner on the beach
Optional experiences
- A scuba dive or a try-dive with an island dive centre
- Kayak hire on the bay
Easier option: Stay on the boat while others snorkel, or skip the boat and spend the whole day on the beach.
More active option: Walk to M'Pay Bay at the north of the island in the afternoon, about 2 hours each way on a jungle path, or take a boat one way.
Free time: Afternoon free
Activity: Snorkelling is from the boat in deep water; life jackets are on board. You do not need to be a strong swimmer to float with a vest.
Depart from Sihanoukville or Phnom Penh
Koh Rong Sanloem by ferry to Sihanoukville, then Sihanoukville International Airport or Techo International Airport, Phnom Penh
- Breakfast
- Drive about 3 h
Morning
A last swim before breakfast, then we take a morning speedboat ferry back to Sihanoukville, about an hour, usually leaving the island between 9 and 11 am; your guide confirms the time the day before. From the pier there are two ways home. If you fly out of Sihanoukville International Airport, about 20 km and half an hour from the pier, you are dropped at the terminal; it has fewer international routes, mostly within Asia.
Afternoon
If you fly from Phnom Penh, our vehicle takes you to Techo International Airport, south of the city, on the Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville expressway, about 200 km and two and a half to three hours with a lunch stop, arriving by mid to late afternoon; the airport and its road links are new, so we confirm the transfer time when we confirm your dates. Plan to reach either airport two to three hours before an international flight, so book flights from Sihanoukville after about 2 pm or from Phnom Penh after about 7 pm. If you would like to stay on at the beach or in Phnom Penh, ask us for extra nights when you book.
Included
- Speedboat ferry to Sihanoukville
- Drop-off at Sihanoukville International Airport (KOS) or Techo International Airport (KTI), Phnom Penh
Free time: Free until the ferry
Activity: Book flights from Sihanoukville after about 2 pm or from Phnom Penh after about 7 pm. Ferry times depend on the sea.
- Siem Reap3 nights
- Battambang1 night
- Phnom Penh2 nights
- Kampot3 nights
- Koh Rong Sanloem2 nights
- Sihanoukville or Phnom Penhend
- Overnight stop
- Day trip
- By boat or train
Wildlife and weather: November to March is the dry season: mostly sunny, around 30°C by day, with fresher mornings in December and January and the heat building in March. It is also when the sea around Koh Rong Sanloem is calmest and clearest for the ferry and snorkelling, and the busiest time at Angkor, which is why the big temples are timed early. The Tonle Sap is high in November and falls through March; if the flooded forest is too low for the canoes, the boat runs out to the open lake. Bokor can be misty and cool at any time of year, so bring a light layer. On dark, moonless nights you may see bioluminescent plankton in the water off the island. April and May are very hot, and June to October brings the monsoon and rougher seas.

Questions
Prices in these answers apply from Jan 1, 2027. Black Friday offer: 15% off the small-group price for requests received by Dec 1, 2026. From CAD 1,850 per person. Dec 2 to Dec 31: from CAD 2,000. From Jan 1, 2027: from CAD 2,175.
What does the price include?
Eleven nights in central hotels and a beachfront island stay, 11 breakfasts, 9 lunches and 2 dinners, airport transfers, a private vehicle and driver, the island ferries, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, local and licensed Angkor guides, a three-day Angkor pass, every entry on the plan, the Tonle Sap and Kampot boats, Bokor, the Kep crab lunch and a snorkelling trip.
How big is the group?
The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. That is small enough to hear the guide in a temple gallery, fit in one boat on the Tonle Sap and the Kampot river, and share one table at the crab market in Kep.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the airport in Siem Reap to your airport on day 12. A licensed Angkor guide leads the temple days, and local guides join at Tuol Sleng and on Bokor. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.
How fit do I need to be?
Easy to moderate. Most days have 2 to 4 hours on foot on uneven stone or paths in heat of around 30°C, with steep steps at Angkor Wat and Pre Rup and a 30 to 40 minute jungle path to Lazy Beach. Snorkelling is from a boat with life jackets. You can sit out any climb, walk or swim.
I am travelling solo. What is the single supplement?
A room of your own costs from CAD 370 more, about 17% of the price, and we show it before you request to book. You get the same rooms, meals and seats as everyone else, and with a group of 7 to 12 there is always company at the table and on the beach.
When is the best time to go?
November to March, the dry season, with sunny days around 30°C and the calmest, clearest sea for the island ferry and snorkelling. It is the busiest time at Angkor, so we time the big temples early. April and May are very hot, and June to October brings the monsoon and rougher crossings.
How do I book, and when do I pay?
Pick your start date and send a request to book. We confirm your place within 24 hours, and no payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing a room, with taxes, and start from CAD 2,175 for the small group.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. Besides the small group, the trip runs as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, from CAD 3,915 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, drivers, boats and local guides.
Do I need a visa for Cambodia?
Most visitors, Canadians included, do. You can apply online for an e-Visa before you travel or buy a visa on arrival at the international airports, and you fill in an online arrival form before landing. Your passport needs six months' validity. We send the current rules with your final itinerary.
Which airport do I fly home from?
Either. Fly out of Sihanoukville International Airport, half an hour from the pier, on a flight after about 2 pm on day 12. Most travellers fly from Phnom Penh's Techo International Airport, about 2.5 to 3 hours away on the expressway, after about 7 pm; the airport opened in 2025, so we confirm the transfer time when we confirm your dates. We take you to whichever you choose.
What is Koh Rong Sanloem like, and is it worth it?
It is a small island with white-sand bays, clear water in the dry season, jungle paths instead of roads and a slow pace. Stays are simple beach resorts rather than large hotels, and power and Wi-Fi can be limited. It is the rest at the end of a busy trip, with a snorkelling boat and a sunset walk included.
How does this compare with your 8-day Cambodia trip?
Our 8-day trip covers Phnom Penh, two nights in Battambang and Siem Reap. This 12-day trip runs from Siem Reap to the coast with one night in Battambang and adds Kampot, Kep, Bokor and two nights on Koh Rong Sanloem. Choose this one if you want the pepper country and a few days by the sea.
