Discover beautiful beaches, learn about the country’s difficult history at the S-21 Prison, and taste some delicious cuisine.
The Angkor Wat temples are so incredible that Cambodia put them on their national flag. Stare into the eyes of serene stone faces, leap over roots that have burst through ruins, and watch the sunrise over a spire-strewn horizon. But on this trip, we show you there’s more to Cambodia than the temples. Discover the beautiful beaches of Koh Rong, learn about the country’s difficult history at the S-21 Prison, and taste some delicious cuisine at a local social enterprise restaurant that trains local street youth in hospitality. Go beyond the temples and discover the culture, cuisine, and curiosities of Cambodia.
We spend 8 days exploring Cambodia. We visit Phnom Penh, Kampot, Sihanoukville, Koh Rong Samloem, Battambang, Siem Reap.

Your adventure begins in Phnom Penh, where you’ll meet your awesome Busabout guide and fellow passengers! We start the tour off by delving into the darker history of Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge, with an included excursion to visit the infamous S-21 Prison and Killing Fields. We then spend the afternoon exploring this dynamic city. See the towering Independence Monument, visit the Royal Palace complex and stroll through the gardens, or relax in one of the city’s many fine cafes. There’s a tonne to see and do, so get out there! Tonight we head out to Romdeng Restaurant, a Tree Alliance member, for an optional traditional dinner (including deep fried tarantula for the brave at heart!). Afterwards the night is yours, so head back and get some sleep or join us at a few of our favourite bars for an epic first night.
