What to Expect

Delve into the country’s spellbinding aquatic landscapes: the storied Mekong River and Tonle Sap and the meandering rivers near the Gulf of Thailand. You’ll also explore the little-visited Cardamom Forest Protected Area, where options for hiking, mountain biking, boating, and bird-watching abound. As you travel throughout the country, take opportunities to engage with vital conservation efforts that protect this compelling, biodiversity hotspot.

  • Connect with locals living in a floating village on Tonle Sap Lake and glimpse their unique lifestyle and customs
  • Witness an array of conservation programs in action, from elephant rehabilitation and anti-poaching patrols to rainforest protection

Your Route Through Cambodia

Journey at a Glance

  1. Day 1 – 2

    Flavors of Cambodia

    Arrive in Phnom Penh and explore. Experience a moveable feast for the senses with an exhilarating food tour via tuk tuk.

  2. Day 3 – 4

    Experience Local Life

    After driving through verdant mountains to riverside Kampot, visit a local farm and lively crab market. Witness faded French colonial ruins. Lounge on a secluded beach where snorkeling and swimming await.

A highlight was kayaking to a mountain waterfall, climbing to its top, and jumping in. After our swim, we picnicked on smoked salmon and fresh mangos overlooking the cascade, feeling like we were dreaming, pinching ourselves to realize we really were in Cambodia.
