Itinerary

Get ready to see Cambodia’s natural wonders from a new perspective with the Cambodia: Hike, Bike & Kayak tour. This eight-day adventure combines moderate physical activity with exploration of the country’s lush countryside, ancient ruins, and vibrant communities. Paddle the Mekong, cycle through rural landscapes, and hike to the spectacular Angkor temple complex—one of Southeast Asia’s most important archaeological sites. Along the way, meet Irrawaddy dolphins, stay in an island homestay, and wander through flooded forests. This active tour stands out for its dynamic approach to sightseeing, letting you experience Cambodia’s beauty up close and off the beaten path.

day 1 - Phnom Penh

Sua s'dei! Welcome to Cambodia. Your adventure begins in Phnom Penh with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. If you arrive early, maybe stroll the streets and explore the city at your own pace. Phnom Penh is set at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, so life centres around this lively riverfront – maybe a good place to start. After the meeting this evening, maybe join the locals here and snack on the street hawker food or enjoy some impromptu waterside entertainment. You could also ask your leader for the best dinner spots or head up to a rooftop bar for a drink with riverside views.

day 2 - Cycling in Phnom Penh

After breakfast, start your active adventure on a mountain bike, crossing the river by local boat and then cycling through the villages on an island within the Mekong River. The island is famous for silk weaving, agriculture and aquaculture. Stop to see locals at work in the village and cycle through quiet roads, orchards and rice paddies. After, return to Phnom Penh for a free afternoon – your leader can help you organise an optional activity, or you can explore at your own pace. Phnom Penh remains a living relic of the country’s past struggles, with the sobering Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek telling the story of the bloody legacy of the Khmer Rouge. You could also visit Wat Phnom – the temple that gave rise to the foundation of the city in the 15th century – or the Royal Palace complex’s Silver Pagoda, Cambodia’s most sacred temple.

included:Phnom Penh - Mekong Island cycling

meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch

day 3 - Kratie/Cycling in Koh Trong

This morning, you’ll leave early to make tracks for Kratie. On the way, pass through Skuon – a small town known for its unusual delicacy of tasty spiders. You can try one if you’re game! Carry on to the town of Kratie, which sits on the banks of the Mekong. Board a local boat from Kratie waterfront to Koh Trong for your homestay – approximately 280 families call this 6 km island home. The island is famous for growing the citrus fruit pomelo, some of the best in Cambodia, as well as rice and other agricultural products. Your homestay is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in everyday Cambodian life, and this evening you'll enjoy a traditional Khmer dinner. With hammocks strung up beneath the house, this is a great place to unwind. Take a leisurely cycle around the island’s perimeter through traditional Khmer villages, fruit orchards and rice fields, observing the daily rituals and routines of traditional village life.

included:Koh Trong - Cycling

meals:1 Breakfast, 1 Dinner

day 4 - Koh Trong Hiking/ Stung Treng

After breakfast this morning, take a 1-hour guided walk to see how the locals live and to learn more about the local culture in this part of Cambodia. During the days of the Khmer Rouge, much of the island’s forested interior was cut down. In response, villagers have started a tree-planting project at Wat Ty Pram Kbal Koh Trong. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the project by helping to plant a tree on the pagoda grounds. After, say goodbye to your island hosts and return to the mainland. There’s time to wander down the river boulevard and explore the local market in Kratie before travelling to Stung Treng. On the way, maybe enjoy an optional lunch at Kampi Creek, where you’ll also hop on a boat and go out on an excursion to try and spot dolphins! When you arrive in Stung Treng, head out on a walking tour with your leader and discover this town’s regional delights at the local market.

included:Koh Trong - Village walk, Kampi - Dolphin boat tour

meals:1 Breakfast

day 5 - Kayaking in Stung Treng

Start early this morning to make the most of a full day of activities. You’ll travel by private minibus to the village of Voeun Kham. From there, catch a local boat to cruise the Mekong River to the fierce Sopheakmit Waterfall – on the Cambodia–Laos border, the thundering falls crash over limestone crags and boulders making a spectacular sight. Moor the boat at a local family's home and hike through the jungle to a lunch spot overlooking the falls. Return to the boat and continue through a gorgeous stretch of the Mekong River, home to many bird species and the village of Osvay. Pass through the Anlong Cheuteal Irrawaddy dolphin pool, where it’s possible to spot freshwater dolphins! Jump in a kayak to paddle among this spectacular scenery of flooded forests to Vuen Sien village. After a full day exploring this glorious stretch of nature, you’ll return to Stung Treng by private minibus for the night.

included:Stung Treng - Kayaking, Steung Treng - Sopheakmit Waterfall, Stung Treng - Mekong River cruise and hike

meals:1 Lunch

day 6 - Siem Reap

This morning, set out on your journey to Siem Reap, travelling by private minibus through Cambodia’s countryside and small towns. Arrive at the gateway to the famed Angkor complex – with its cafes, bars, restaurants, food and drink stands, Siem Reap caters for all persuasions. A visit to the old market is a must, even if you're not looking for souvenirs. Wandering through the stalls and surrounding shops, you’ll find silks, cotton, sarongs, silver and statues. After check-in at your hotel, you’ll be picked up by a tuk tuk and then your leader will take you on an orientation walk to help you get acquainted with this bustling town.

included:Siem Reap - Leader-led orientation walk

day 7 - Cycling in Siem Reap/Angkor Wat

Hop on your bike and temple hop with your local guide today for a full day cycling tour of the world-famous Angkor complex – built between the 9th and 13th centuries when the Khmer empire was the pre-eminent influence in Southeast Asia. These ruins include Angkor Wat, Bayon and the jungle-covered Ta Prohm. After you’re temple-d out, head back to Siem Reap for a free night. You might like to check out Phare – the Cambodian Circus. Coming from disadvantaged households, the performers have gained international recognition through their art. Like a Cambodian Cirque Du Soleil, modern Khmer tales mix theatre, music, dance, acrobatics, juggling, aerial acts and contortion.

included:Siem Reap - Angkor Temples Guided Tour, Siem Reap - Angkor Temples cycling tour, Siem Reap - One day Angkor Pass

meals:1 Breakfast

day 8 - Siem Reap

As no activities are planned for today, you can leave your accommodation at any time. If you have extra time you might like to schedule an Angkor zip-line and canopy walk adventure, a tasty Khmer cooking class, or simply relax by the pool. If you’d like to spend more time in Siem Reap, just speak to your booking agent.
