Cambodia Explorer

Welcome to your Cambodia adventure. Spend the day chilling, then join your group for the welcome speech and a meal near the legendary Pub Street, a neon-lit strip of bonkers bars and weird and wonderful food. Fancy a drink or two after? There's no better way to get to know your new crew.

Today is an exclusive. We hop in a tuk-tuk through Siem Reap's busy streets to Hul's Farm, where we step into the life of a local mango and rice farmer and help with the harvest of mangoes in season. Then your Local Legend welcomes us into the family home. Back in the city, relax by the pool before a sunset BBQ this evening.

A day you won't forget. We're up before dawn to reach Angkor Wat, the world's biggest religious monument, just in time for sunrise over its towers. Explore the vast UNESCO site, built in the image of Mount Meru, home of the Hindu gods. The afternoon is yours to explore or nap, then it's our last night out on Pub Street.

Goodbye Siem Reap, hello Cambodia's capital. Settle in for the bus ride and catch up on sleep, then stop in the countryside for lunch with a view. In Phnom Penh we check in, freshen up and head out for an evening stroll and dinner. Afterwards, haggle at the night market or head straight to the bars.

Today we visit the Killing Fields and S21 Prison, where the Khmer Rouge held 17,000 people and very few survived. It won't be easy, and it's a story that will stay with you, but it's essential to understanding modern Cambodia. Afterwards we head back for dinner. Spend the evening however feels right: talk, take a stroll, reflect.

Today we head to Kampot, a riverside town framed by mountains. After lunch we take to the water, kayaking along the local rivers past waterfront houses and pausing for a conversation led by your Local Legend. As the day winds down, we settle into a local bar to watch the sun set over the river.

This morning we visit a local pepper plantation to learn how Kampot's famous pepper is farmed. You'll soon realise how little you knew. Then we put that knowledge to work in a traditional Khmer cooking class and eat what we make for lunch. In the evening we wander quaint streets of faded shutters down to the river for dinner.

Picture it: sun glinting off clear water, a cool breeze, white sand and beach huts coming into view. That's today. We travel by boat to Koh Rong, check in and spend the afternoon on the beach, cocktail in hand, hammock optional, as the sun sets over the island. They say you haven't seen beauty until you've seen this place.

Island time. Lie in, enjoy a late breakfast, then island-hop across emerald waters. Try your hand at a traditional way of fishing, snorkel over coral and meet the marine life that calls Koh Rong home. The afternoon is yours: cold beers, a dance, a sing-song. It's our last full day on the island, so savour every minute.

Today we say goodbye to Koh Rong and travel by boat and bus back to Phnom Penh. After checking into our hotel, there are a few hours to chill before the big finale: one last group dinner together. Then we'll see where the night takes us.

The final day. After an epic 11 days, it's time to check out and say goodbye to your new friends, the people who were strangers a week and a half ago. If your adventure continues, your Local Legend is on hand to help with any onward travel plans. Bring it in, fam. It's been unreal.
