An excellent excursion for a family, or alone, if you like ruins and empty houses. Nice to just walk around and look. Set to have scooter tuk tuk or similar with you

Not having time to visit a Pepper Farm, I dropped into Farm Link in Kampot with my daughter. We were pleasantly surprised by the free, informative tour and answers to our questions. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the pepper, salt and palm sugar tastings. There were enough plants outside in the garden to see the difference between different pepper plants as well as see peppers drying and being sorted for quality. Very affordable products available in the shop given the amount of labor involved in production.

We had a blast here - we originally with to Duang Te at the recommendation of my GF's sister, however, we immediately left in favor of Arcadia. Really a little treasure they've carved out of the the jungle. The Blob is a blast, I launched my 12 year old nephew into lower Earth orbit. The waterslide is the real deal and a lot of fun. Just keep you mouth closed as to not crack a tooth and while a lot of kids do it, I wouldn't recommend head first. My own stupidity really, I'm no spring chicken these days and bruised a rib. That didn't stop me from doing it over and over again, just feet first worked better for me, hahaha! The Russian Swing looked fun but I personally didn't try it. Cold cheap'ish beer, reasonable entry fee, great service, lots of smiling faces and tasty food. They also provide free inner tubes and had a couple diving platforms anchored offshore - really just a great, fun day on the river surrounded by fun people. Would definitely go back! Can't wait until we do, actually ;) Thanks Arcadia!

We loved our visit to La Plantation, awesome free tour and sampling of the different types of pepper which is unusual as most of the operations in this country are designed to grab as much money from tourists as possible. Great commitment to the local community. This was definitely a highlight of our trip in Cambodia. We would also recommend hiring a tuk tuk for the day so you can see some other things on the way out there.

If you don't have your own motorcycle, hire a big bike for $4 on the Old Market Street with under-seat storage. Take an emergency bottle of gas, a thin sweater, or at least an extra, long-sleeved layer, which you'll need as you go up this 1km-high mountain. One side, going from Kampot town up to the big Buddha, has various tall tree and rock formations. The other side, coming toward Bokor Hill Station and toward the direction of Sihanoukville, has waterfalls, rivers and the feel of moors and shrubs. You don't want to be wandering around there after dark, so get started early or else sleep at the inn for $5, or even pre-plan and make a romantic getaway for over $200. (Search Bokor National Park on Booking for the expensive hotels). The single driving route from the entrance of Bokor National Park to the summit is very well-kept, and wide enough for the maintenance trucks that you might see going up and down, so no worries about safety. (Don't walk...it takes 1 hr nonstop up to the giant Buddha and King Sihanouk's now disused Black Palace on a powerful moto.) FILL YOUR TANK BEFORE YOU GO. It takes almost a full tank of gas to get to the top. There are little stalls near the big Buddha that llook like those roadside stalls selling cheap Cambodian snacks in plastic.THEY SELL GAS - at twice the price, but there's no where else to buy it up there. There's no gas on display. You have to ask. This is a gorgeous route, definitely worth a day-trip.

We went expecting to see caves and the temple in them.. but it was so much more! A fun adventure sliding and squeezing through the caves! And bats inside was nice to see! Wear proper shoes and expect to get dirty. It was loads of fun!

Ghost town. A very strange place, you see houses that are completely empty. Pristine. You need a scooter or tuk tuk to get between the various buildings in the large national park

Rent a motorbike and enjoy the amazing road to get in Bokor Hill Station. Once on the top, you will get to see some more or less impressive ghost buildings from another time (even if not so long ago). Bring snacks with you, you don't get much choice up there. And don't forget to get a full tank before driving up.

One of the must-see designations on a day trip to Bokor Mountain. Just a short drive outside of Kampot. Under any weather scenario be sure to bring a lightweight coat and perhaps wear pants as it is very, very windy on Bokor Mountain and it can get quite chilly at times. Plan on spending at least half a day viewing the many sites on Bokor Mountain. We took a tuk tuk from Kampot to view the sites. It is best to get there early in the day to avoid the crowds. A stop at this church will take no more than ½ hour and is a good place to take a few photographs.
