    1. Kayak trip through the Green Cathedral near Kampot at sunset

    5.0· 17 reviews· 3 hours

    Two hours of kayaking through the Green Cathedral, a serene river loop in nature, with a stunning sunset view.

    I had a wonderful late afternoon sunset paddle, just my guide and me. This arrangement was ideal as we could move at my own pace and stop for photos whenever I wanted. The paddle took us about 5km through a shaded area thanks to the palm fronds, making it a very pleasant experience.fabces

    3. Countryside tour and kayaking in Kampot

    5.0· 10 reviews

    Full-day tour combining rural landscapes, a visit to La Plantation pepper farm, and kayaking through the Green Cathedral.

    I had a fantastic day with friends, thanks to our amazing guide Micki, who was both funny and attentive. We participated in a variety of activities, including exploring the salt marshes, visiting a cave where we played basketball in the rain (a headlamp was a nice addition), discovering a secret lake, and planting organic peppers. I highly recommend the ice cream and the pepper cheese plate, which were both delightful in a stunning setting. To top it off, we enjoyed a relaxing canoe ride during sunset. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you, and see you soon!Sandra N

    5. Kampot countryside tour — pepper farms, salt fields, and caves

    4.9· 62 reviews

    Half-day tour with an English-speaking guide — visit salt fields, limestone caves, a scenic lake, and sample Kampot's renowned pepper.

    We unexpectedly joined another tour with Roy, an excellent and engaging local guide. Traveling through the countryside in a tuktuk was a wonderful way to take in the scenery. The stop at the pepper farm "Botree," run by a local farmer, was fascinating and included a tasty pepper tasting. I highly recommend booking this tour.

  3. Bokor Mountain tour with waterfall visit from Sihanoukville, Sihanoukville6

    6. Bokor Mountain tour with waterfall visit from Sihanoukville

    4.9· 69 reviews

    Full-day trip to Bokor National Park by private vehicle — explore historic sites and unwind at Popokvil Waterfall, with vegetarian lunch included.

    If you're in Kampot, this experience is not to be missed. We booked through Tripadvisor and had an excellent time. Our guide and Tuk Tuk driver, Roy, picked us up from our hotel and took us to various locations, making the trip special with his detailed explanations in perfect English. We appreciate Roy and have booked another tour, hoping to see him again. The Tuk Tuk ride to Bokor Mountain and Wat Samprov Pram was enjoyable, and we requested that Roy drive a bit slower on the curvy roads for a more comfortable experience. The jungle scenery and sea views were stunning and made the hour-long drive worth it. This area offers some of the most beautiful mountain regions in the country. We had ample time at each stop and thoroughly enjoyed the five-hour tour. It's best to do this trip in the morning to avoid the heat and the clouds obstructing the views.Trail03389988992

The sites we visited were stunning, and the tour was neither too lengthy nor physically demanding, aside from the numerous stairs to the Cave Temple. I highly recommend this tour as a must-do in Kampot.stephentA5876RY
