Highlights
  • Sihanoukville - We will start at the port if you arrive by cruise or your hotel in Sihanouk Ville and head off to Tumnuk Rolok Fishing Port. Watch fishermen do their day to day activities. They head towards the open sea at night and return to the port early in the morning with their catch. See local boats lined up at the port while the fishermen unload their catch and spend the day repairing and preparing their casting nets for the next catch.

You will get the chance to admire the Kbal Chhay Waterfall cascading through natural rock formations. Best viewed during the rainy season between July to October, the site is also a popular picnic area for local visitors, especially during weekends. The waterfalls originates from different mountain ranges and is a source of clean water to Sihanoukville.

We will also visit the Phsar Leu Central Market, where you’ll get a glimpse of local daily lifestyle and culture. Explore market sections such as fruits, seafoods, clothing, jewelry, Khmer food and various other local goods.

In this tour, you’ll also see one of the most worth-seeing pagodas in Sihanoukville. Wat Leu (Upper Wat) is located on the hilltop and offers a spectacular sweeping view of the entire town, its surrounding beaches and nearby islands. Marvel at the golden shrine’s stone architecture, especially the three headed white elephants with Buddha statues on top out of a stone wall. The temple houses Buddhist sculptures and contains colorful murals inside. It is an active place of worship, where food and fruits are offered during special days.

Get into the heart of rural life in Sihanoukville’s little village in the countryside. Immerse yourself in an authentic countryside life by taking in views of traditional houses, and observing people working at the fields and farms. Learn from your expert local guide about the daily lives of people in this little village.

You will also get to see the Independence Monument, which lies in a small park at the intersection separating Sihanoukville’s city center from Victory Hill. The neighboring shrine is also used as an venue for important religious festivals.

Experiencing Sihanoukville, Cambodia - Our guide, Choub, and our driver, Corey, did and excellent job of sharing the charm of Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The transfer from ship to the comfortable mini van was smooth. Our guide was waiting exactly where we expected. Off we went to learn first about everyday life in Cambodia by visiting a family who spend their days catching butchering and drying fish in shacks along the seawall. We visited a Buddhist monastery and learned about Buddhist nuns. We engaged in considerable conversation about the history and conditions in Cambodia with Choub. We went to a wonderful waterfall where families spend a day picnicking and relaxing and then we visited the City Market. Our tour gave us experiences across a wide range of aspects of the area. It was a very good day and an excellent tour.
