if you want to see it all
Location Ream National Park is 18 kilometers from downtown SihanoukVille, towards Phnom Penh to the park entrance. Probably another 10 kilometers to get inside the park down to the beach. Just inside the park entrance, you can find the ranger station on the left, after you pass the entrance to the airport. Sometimes there's someone there. About a 20 to 30 minute ride from downtown.
A new resort / restaurant / water park has opened call Summer Bay. This is the main attraction around Ream National Park now.
You can also go the "Sun & Moon Gulf" route. After you turn towards Ream from Route 4, a hundred meters up the road is a sign for the Sun & Moon Gulf Resort (or whatever its new name is). This road is perfect for a few kilometers, until it turns into an OK dirt road. It's 8km through the jungle to the beach from the airport. A multi-billion dollar resort is going up here.
Prices
Boat trips are priced by the boat. Typically $65 for up to 5 people and $9 extra per person for more than 5.
About one of 7 National Parks in Cambodia, established in 1993 by the former King, His Majesty Norodom Sihanouk. The park covers 15,000 hectares of land and 6,000 hectares of marine habitat. There were 155 species of birds in the park including a few threatened species.
Boat trips on the river and through the mangrove channels, then into the Gulf of Thailand ocean.
The park offers walking tours of the mountain, safari tours of the smaller mammals and birds and waterfalls.
Wat Ream, a buddhist temple, is also worth a trip.
There are also major logging operations going on here now, and Chinese casino resorts going up.
The main navy base for Cambodia is inside the National Park.
On the seaside, there are dozens of food stands, specializing in fresh seafood.
There's a new road that you can use from Ocheteaul Beach, along the ocean, to Ream. Or just come in past the SihanoukVille Airport.
