DAY 2 : KEP (B/-/-)
After breakfast, you have the whole day free. You can either enjoy the facilities inside the resort or choose a wide range of excursions as follows
Kep Jungle Trek | Duration : 4 hours
Go for a hike in the Kep National Park. See exotic birds, snakes, squirrels, monkeys, butterflies, wild dogs... Approx. 1.5hrs walk to the top and 2 – 3hours around the mountain. The gently sloping trail winds past a couple of old pagodas, though light jungles where you may spy monkeys or other wildlife, and provides many picturesque overlooks along the way. The trail is actually a small, dirt service road that rings the mountain in an 8km loop, part of the road in pretty good condition, some narrow and overgrown. Kampot and the Elephant Mountains can be seen in the distance from the northwest viewpoint, and the trail on the other side of the mountain provides some striking views across the valley to a pagoda on the next mountain and the beaches in the distance.
Rabbit Island Tour | Duration : 8 hours
Rabbit Island is a small tropical island located about 20-40 minutes south of Kep by local boat. The island is blessedly undeveloped and lacks most services except for some rustic bungalows and a couple of rudimentary beach shack restaurants. Secluded white sand beaches dot the edges of the island, backed by a hilly coconut palm interior. The surrounding waters are relatively clear and warm, offering some snorkeling opportunities around the rocks. In the morning you will discover Kep's teeming crab market before you hop on a boat for a 30-minute ride to Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsai), where secluded white sandy beaches, coconut trees, and a variety of sea coral await you. You will be free to explore this wonderful tropical island and have a sea food lunch while there. You can trek along the island's trail, ocean kayak, enjoy a beach massage or just rest and relax in this paradise. At 3 pm you will take a boat back to the resort in Kep.
Bokor Mountain Tour | Duration :8 hours
Our one day to Bokor allows people to see the beautiful sites on Bokor Mountain and around and to learn about the history of this site. On this adventure trip they will be able to admire the beautiful views from the king’s residence that encompass the gulf of Siam, Vietnam, and panoramic views of Kampot. Following this, people can walk through the old French hill station; go for a walk to the tea farm. Then there is an opportunity to go for a cold relaxing swim in the crystal clear waterfalls. This fun packed day is drawn to a leisurely close with a relaxing sunset river cruise back to Kampot.
Pepper Plantation Tour | Duration : 4 hours
Pepper grows on peppercorn trees, yes? The answer to that and all your other pepper related questions will be answered on our pepper farm tour. Learn how green, white, red and black pepper is harvested and cultivated. Green pepper is difficult, if not impossible to find in the west. It has an amazing flavor like nothing else and won’t be nearly as spicy as you expect. Kampot was once the world leader in pepper exports and in the mid 20th century no well to do French restaurant would be without Kampot pepper. It has a unique almost sweet flavor with no bitterness. It doesn’t pack the same sting as standard black peppercorns. This is a must do when in Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge destroyed all pepper farms in the 70’s, and only a decade ago pepper seedlings were found growing wildly in the area. With the help of NGO’s, Khmers have made their way back into successful pepper production with annual demand outstripping supply. Get in quick before all your trendy friends find out about cooking with Kampot pepper!
DAY 3 : KEP / PHNOM PENH (B/-/-)
After breakfast, enjoy free time at the resort before our shuttle takes you back to Phnom Penh for the next destination
