Itinerary
We welcome you at Sihanoukville port (Gate 1) from our driver and transfer to Tumnuk Rolok Fishing Port. Watch the daily routines of the fishermen. They go for the open sea at night and arrive back at the harbor with their haul early the next morning. While the fisherman unload their catch and spend the day fixing and prepping their casting nets for the next catch, observe the local boats lining up at the harbor.
You can witness the Kbal Chhay Waterfall tumbling through unaltered rock formations. The location, which is best viewed between July and October when it rains, is also a well-liked picnic spot for local visitors, particularly on weekends. The waterfalls supply Sihanoukville with clean water and come from various mountain ranges.
You'll also see one of Sihanoukville's most notable pagodas on this tour. On top of the hill, Wat Leu (Upper Wat) provides a breathtaking panorama of the entire town, the surrounding beaches, and the nearby islands. Admire the stone architecture of the golden shrine, especially the Buddha statues perched atop three-headed white elephants that protrude from a stone wall. Inside the temple, there are vibrant murals and Buddhist sculptures. It is a bustling place of worship where meals and fruit are distributed on special occasions.
We'll also stop by the Phsar Leu (Central Market), where you can see a bit of the way of life and culture of the locals. Look into the various local products available in the market, including fruits, seafood, clothing, jewelry, Khmer food, and other items.
We will stop at the Golden Lion roundabout to take photos. It is a symbol of Sihanoukville province, which is a popular area for domestic and international tourists.
The most popular beach in Sihanoukville is Ochheuteal Beach, which was formerly known as UNTAC Beach in the early 1990s. It offers a variety of beachside accommodations, from opulent hotels and restaurants to casual beach bars and bungalows. You can enjoy your food, beach, swimming, and more. After move back to port (Gate 1).

Thank you so much for your kind review! Glad you enjoyed the tour.
This is the best tour operator we took during our trip to Southeast Asia. Kari the tour guide is very attentive and professional. He did a great job.
Thank you so much for your kind review! Glad you enjoyed the tour.
We greatly enjoyed our tour with our engaging guide Sam and the very good driver. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that with 6 tourists the van was at capacity, making the exiting at stops a bit awkward. Still had an interesting and flexible tour that was good value. We were very happy that we went to this port.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We really appreciate your support.
Kary and his team were kind and professional. They provided a lot of background to places we visited. They made sure everyone was safe and stay dry whenever it was necessary. It was a rainy day but they made it a great trip
Thank you very much
Simon our guide is professional, informative, caring and ready to help. Extremely nice!! Highly recommend this tour!! ❤️
Thank you very much
We saw many different things during our day; all interesting, The first stop was a fishing village, then a pagoda, then a waterfall and then had lunch at the beach and then the city market. Our guide was very helpful when needed, ensuring our wellbeing. The waterfall walk was a bit challenging, as it rained off and on and the path could be slippery. We also stooped to see some statues of significance, the first king and queen of Cambodia, I think, and some golden lions. We were provided with water and stopped at an ATM for those who needed Cambodian money. Everything was well done and timely. We were returned to port in a timely manner. We did encounter some torrential rain, but it did not dampen the day. Well worth the cost. Well done, thank you to the operators!
Thank you very much.
Even the visit to the fishermen was beautiful and colorful. The stop at the waterfall was also impressive. We especially liked the Wat Leu Temple with its magnificent colors and the market was also worth the detour. Lunch would have been better and cheaper on the market, but it was also fine. Our tour guide CURRY has a lot of joy in his job, which he liked to share with us. The many friendly people on the way have inspired us. The tour deserves a recommendation even in not so good weather!
Vielen Dank.
Quite an experience. The fishing port was interesting, if a little smelly, but I guess that's to be expected. The trip to the waterfall was rather unusual. We travelled down a dirt track for 8 kilometres and, upon arrival, the "resort" was a set of tin shacks and dishevelled kiosks selling food which our guide (the very helpful, likeable and interesting Mr Han) advised us not to eat. The waterfalls themselves were picturesque although quite a scramble over some dangerous rocks, fortunately they weren't slippery. Then onto a roundabout with some very large, interesting statues. Next to the beach where it was raining so we decided to take a look and move on. Finally to the market, very large with lots to see including some stalls that were actually ladies hairdressers. In summary a really interesting and somewhat unusual tour. Thanks to Mr Han for ably escorting us.
Thank you very much for your review
They delivered on their promises! The trip was awesome but we needed a little more places to do souvenirs shopping. All in all it was good and I would like to do that again if and when I come back this way again
Thank you very much for rating and feedback!
