Kep – Kampot
Morning transfer by overland to the seaside town of Kep (3 hours, 175 km).
A soothing seaside jewel famed for delicious seafood and absolute relaxation. During Cambodia’s golden years before 1970, this lush coastal region was a seaside playground for the affluent. Kep is known for its famous crab market and idyllic resorts, while its neighboring town of Kampot could be the perfect small town—quiet streets, a gentle river, and boutique restaurants. Kampot is known for producing some of the best black, red, and white pepper in the world, and seeing how it’s made up close is an unforgettable experience.
En route, detour to explore Kampong Trach Limestone Cave, where brightly colored five-headed Naga serpents guard the entrance. There are also a number of shrines outside the caves.
Enjoy delicious seafood as your lunch; waterfront restaurants traditionally cook fresh seafood with local Kampot pepper.
Continue to Kep, check in at your hotel, and enjoy free time at your leisure.
Optional: Join-in Sunset Cruise: A leisurely cruise along Kep’s coast
Nothing beats being on the water around sunset. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Our converted fishing boat will take you along the coastline for a different perspective of this beautiful seaside town.
*Duration: 90 minutes (Start @5pm)
*Inclusions: Sparkling wine, wines, beers and canapés
