Pair the grandeur of Angkor with the white sands of Koh Rong. Four days of temples, markets and lake life lead into slow island days, ending with an easy transfer to Phnom Penh.
Angkor & Koh Rong Island Escape is a 7 day, 6 night private tour that opens in Siem Reap with a Tonle Sap floating village, a city day and a full Angkor circuit including sunrise at Angkor Wat, then crosses to Koh Rong for two nights on the beach before ending in Phnom Penh. It suits travellers who want the temples and a proper stretch of coast in one week.
Angkor is hard work in the heat. Doing it in the first four days means you arrive on Koh Rong with nothing left to see and no reason to move.
A full afternoon on the Tonle Sap, in a stilted fishing village chosen for the season, rather than the half-hour stop most itineraries make of it.
Siem Reap to the coast is a real distance. We drive it with rest stops, or you upgrade to the domestic flight and gain most of a day.
An afternoon boat trip through a stilted fishing village on Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, and sunset from the water.
A 4:40am start at Angkor Wat, then Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, the Terrace of the Elephants and the Bayon, finishing by early afternoon.
Two nights of beaches, snorkelling and island-hopping, with the option of an evening swim among bioluminescent plankton.
Every timing below is a starting point, not a rule. Tell us your flights and we rebuild the shape of the trip around them.
Land, settle, and leave the temples for later in the week.
Private transfer to your hotel.
We can book a table or leave the evening entirely free.
A slow morning, then out onto the great lake.
Recover from the flight.
Life on the water, at working hours rather than show hours.
The light going down over the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.
The town the temples are usually allowed to overshadow.
And the Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm shrine.
Makers first, then the old market for everything else.
Painted murals, then silk and stone worked by hand. Ends about 3:00-3:30pm.
The early start that makes Angkor bearable and beautiful.
Breakfast once the sun is up.
The jungle temple, then the walled city.
The faces, before the tour ends around 12:30-1:30pm.
The long haul south, handled properly.
Approximately 9-10 hours with rest stops - or upgrade to the domestic flight.
About 45 minutes across.
Nothing scheduled, which is the point.
Arranged on the day, depending on the sea.
After dark, when the water lights up around you.
Boat, road, and home.
Then a private transfer to Phnom Penh - 4-5 hours in total.
