Wonder, understand, then slow down. This first journey connects three sides of Cambodia, without trying to see everything.
An example, not a fixed programme. Hélène and Sébastien reshape it around your interests, budget and the season. We design the journey; you choose and book your accommodation, activities and transport.

Before setting off
Ten days, at a glance.
4 nights in Siem Reap · 2 in Phnom Penh · 3 on Koh Rong. Day 10 is for returning to the mainland.
Natural Earth base · Schematic connections, not road directions.
01 / Siem ReapDays 1–4 · 4 nights
Stone & morning light
Take your time with Angkor.
The first hours are for arriving. Put your bags down, enjoy a meal, get a feel for the town. The temples can wait until tomorrow.
The approach to Angkor Wat.
Then comes Angkor: an opening vista, a face carved in stone, light across a gallery. Two days of discovery, with proper breaks, give you time to look without rushing from one temple to another.
Day 1 · Arrive and settle into Siem Reap
Days 2–3 · Angkor Wat, the Bayon and breaks in the shade
Day 4 · A freer day, between town and countryside
At your pace
Start early if you like; rest during the hottest hours. We choose how many temples to visit and whether you need a guide together.
Day 5 · Travel by road to Phnom Penh. Allow much of the day for the journey and breaks.
02 / Phnom PenhDays 5–6 · 2 nights
The city & its stories
Find a different rhythm by the river.
In Phnom Penh, the journey finds a different voice. Streets come alive, terraces fill up, and an evening walk along the river invites you to linger.

After the drive, keep the programme light. The next day makes room for the capital’s history and architecture, a visit we choose together, then a market or café. Sites of remembrance deserve time and a thoughtful choice based on your interests.
Day 5 · Settle in and take an evening walk
Day 6 · Heritage, neighbourhoods and Khmer food
At your pace
Two nights for a first encounter with the capital. Love cities and museums? We can give it more time.
Day 7 · Drive to Sihanoukville, then take a boat to Koh Rong. Allow a travel day, planned around schedules and sea conditions.
03 / Koh RongDays 7–9 · 3 nights
The island & time to yourself
Make room for the horizon.
After the temples and the city, a different sense of time. Three nights on the island, with two full days without packing your bags.

Walk along the sand, read in the shade, step into the water. There is no need to fill every hour. Choosing the right beach and place to stay matters more than a long activity list: your preferred atmosphere, boat access and the season guide our suggestions.
Day 7 · Boat crossing and arrival on the island
Days 8–9 · Two days to slow down, your way
At your pace
Sea conditions and boat crossings depend on the weather. We adapt the coastal stay and return buffer to your dates.
The next day, the journey continues back to the mainland. We leave time for this final connection.
04 / The returnDay 10 · Mainland
The return & the buffer
Give the last day room to breathe.
One final crossing, then the mainland. Day ten is a travel day in its own right, deserving as much attention as the first stops.
Koh RongSihanoukville
Day 10 · Return to the mainland
The boat returns to Sihanoukville. What follows depends on your flights and the crossing conditions: we plan timings and buffers with you, without assuming an international flight can follow the boat on the same day.
Day 10 · Boat from Koh Rong to Sihanoukville
Then · Onward travel to suit your departure
At your pace
An extra mainland night may be necessary. If so, we adjust the duration and quote; it is not part of the nine nights in this example.
Your final itinerary will specify the return buffer and the transport to book separately.
Shall we design yours?
The same country. Your own journey.
More temples, less time on the road, a different beach or a few extra days. Tell us what makes you want to travel; we turn it into a coherent itinerary.
350 USD to plan 10 days · for your group
Itinerary design. You book and pay accommodation, activities and transport directly with providers.
Planning fee for 10 days, for your group sharing one itinerary.
US$35/day for the first 10 days, then US$25/day. US$150 minimum. Total confirmed in your quote.
Accommodation, meals, activities, guides and transport are not included. You book and pay providers directly. Guides and drivers: a separate quote based on your needs.
The season, heat, boat schedules and your flights may change the order of the stops. We review them with you before finalising the itinerary. The final day does not assume a guaranteed international connection after the boat.
Can I change the length or stops?
Yes. These ten days are a starting point for our conversation. More time at Angkor, a different stop or a mainland buffer night: we adapt the plan to your trip, with a quote for the chosen duration.
