Sihanoukville. Day trips and tours near town.

A day or less

There's a few places to see outside of town that take a day or less to see. You can leave for most destinations in the morning and return to your hotel by late afternoon. Check out the SihanoukVille Tours page also.

After breakfast

travel and explore. At night relax by the beach.

Steung Hauv
Steung Hauv is a fishing community about an hour outside of town. Not much here now.

Some activities in Steung Hauv are eating the fresh seafood, watching the boat builders, and just driving or walking around town. There is a central market, but not too much there. To get to Steung Hauv, take a car or motorcycle past the port, to the end of the road; about 10 minutes past the port. At the end of the road, you must turn right onto a dirt road. Take this road another 15 to 25 minutes, and you're there.

It's important to get back to the port area before dark, as there are no lights on the road. Road conditions may vary, as does the traffic to get out of SihanoukVille.

Ream National Park
Ream Park covers mountains and the beaches on the road going back to Phnom Penh. The park service offers tours (at least they used to) and can be contacted at the entrance of the park. Many beach huts line the beach offering fresh seafood. Boats can be hired to take island trips.

Kbal Chhay Waterfalls is a popular stop off on the way back from Ream National Park, or a half day trip in itself. About 25 minutes from town, depending on traffic.

And Wat Ream (a Buddhist Temple) has some good views as well as a giant reclining Buddha on top of the hill. Check out the Ream Park Page.

Kampot & Kep
~~Kampot & Kep are small towns about 2-3 hours outside town, near the Vietnam border. You can either make it a day trip, or there are many guesthouses and bungalows available.~~

Not really possible for day trips now. Will have to wait for future road repairs.

Kampot

The nearer town is Kampot. Kampot is usually the starting point for tours to Bokor Mountain. Kampot is a quieter and more relaxed town than SihanoukVille (now by one hundred times), divided by a river. Kep, a half hour past Kampot, is an even quieter seaside town, with a national park on a mountain, and seaside.

By Boat
Fishing, Snorkeling, River and Ocean tours, Island tours. From a half-day to a full day tour. Even night fishing tours.

More on the SihanoukVille Boating page. And on the SihanoukVille Island Boat Schedule and Scuba Diving pages.

Kep

and More
If you rent your own motorcycle, (not recommended now around SihanoukVille), or motorcycle taxi or tuk tuk or car, you can tour around the hills of SihanoukVille. It's easy to get lost, and easy to get found. There's only one road out of town, so you can't get lost too far. With PassApp, you can call a 2+ person Tuk Tuk quickly, and very cheaply.

Try Ana Travel for taxi or minibus hire.
