Whilst no prior experience is needed, a reasonable level of general fitness is required - you'll be hiking, kayaking and cycling at different points across the itinerary, for between 2 and 5 hours in duration.

The hiking will be through forest and jungle trails, and although it's not at high altitude or on difficult terrain, the heat, humidity and potential rain will mean you need to be prepared. The Phnom Kulen plateau loop is an easy hike if a little longer than previous days, but there are support vehicles and the option to extend the hike if the group wishes.

Kayaking on the Mekong River and Tonlé Sap will generally be a leisurely paddle, downstream or on placid water. Occasionally, at times with higher waters and currents, the paddling will be a little more challenging.

Cycling around Koh Trong island will be easy, on level terrain. Cycling in Siem Reap and around Angkor will be a little more challenging as it involves narrow, off-road jungle trails as well as some paved road sections.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Yes, a visa is compulsory for travellers entering Cambodia and not included into the price of trip. Visas can be obtained either in advance or on arrival, with both methods being quick and easy.

If you opt for a visa in advance (an e-visa), please visit the website of the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more information and pricing.

If you opt for a visa on arrival, you will need two recent passport photographs, an arrival form (provided by your airline) and cash in US Dollars, in order to be granted your visa. Please visit the Cambodian Embassy website in your country of origin for more information and pricing.

Tap water in Cambodia is not safe to drink. Clean drinking water will be provided from a 20-litre refill container in the vehicle. There will also be water bottle refill stations available in the hotels and homestays, in order to reduce plastic consumption. Please pack your own reusable bottle, it will be well used.

Water bottles with in-built filters are becoming increasingly popular for travellers to use in countries without clean tap water. Please see our guide for advice on the best water filters for adventurers if you wish to bring your own filtration bottle on this trip.

Cambodia is a hot and tropical country, at its hottest in April and coolest in January, and reliably warm for much of the year. The dry months are between late October through to the end of May, with more rain expected between June and early October.

Although rainfall is at its maximum in September, the central region, east and Siem Reap receive very little rain compared to the coastal areas, and when it does rain it tends to be in the form of sporadic mid-afternoon downpours. There is no 'best time' to go, as each time of year benefits the varied trip activities in turn: drier months mean easy cycling or hiking, but wetter months mean higher water levels for kayaking with green lush jungle.

In the drier season, the daytime temperatures range between 31°C / 88°F and 39°C / 102°F, and go down to around 23°C / 74°F at night. In the rainy season, the daytime temperatures range between 30°C / 86°F and 35°C / 95°F, and go down to around 24°C / 75°F at night.

The trip dates are scheduled across Cambodia’s dry months as well as some of the wet months, as both seasons are great times to experience the varied locations and activities. However, due to weather and local conditions at the time of travel, some minor changes to the route, order or timing of the activities may be necessary once you’re on the trip. Your host will ensure any necessary changes are kept to a minimum, and your guide will keep you in the loop as the trip progresses to ensure that you have an awesome time.

Tips for the local staff are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion but there is an expectation to tip for good service. We suggest the below as a guideline per person, per day which will be shared between guides, support team and driver:

£9 (GBP)/$10 (USD)

Of course, you are free to tip more or less, and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality - a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.

Due to the point to point nature of this trip, your luggage will be transported with you in the vehicle throughout the journey.

We recommend checking out the country specific information here and also talking to a travel nurse.

No. You'll need to have a larger bag suitable for all your belongings which will be transported for you, and then a small day pack to carry personal items and a water bottle each day.

The kayaks across the itinerary will be Loma 1 fibreglass single or double sit-on-top kayaks. Sit-on-top kayaks are very stable and easy to paddle for everyone, from new paddlers through to experienced paddlers, and can be used on the sea, estuaries, rivers, lakes and canals.

The single kayaks are 2.7m / 8.8’ in length and 74cm / 2’ wide approx. Single kayaks can take a maximum load up to 100kg / 220lbs.

The double kayaks are 3.7m / 12’ in length and 83cm / 2’ wide approx. Double kayaks can take a maximum load up to 190kg / 418lbs.

For the leisurely cycling on Koh Trong island, simple city bikes are used, which are comfortable and easy to ride on the flat terrain.

The bikes used in the Siem Reap region are mountain bikes of a higher specification. The mountain bikes available will be one of the following makes and models, in various sizes: Cannondale Trail 4 2017, Trek Marlin 5 2022 or Giant Rincon 29 2022.
