Get ready to embark on one of our unique boat ecotours around Kep bay’s remote islands, in the south of Cambodia, away from all other touristy circuits. Enjoy a relaxing day on our traditional khmer fisherboat, swim in warm and quiet waters and explore Gulf of Thailand’s reefs, get a fresh fish or meat BBQ on the boat and discover authentic fishermen’s villages.

See how famous Kampot Pepper - Green, Black, Red, and White - is produced, without chemical fertilizers or insecticides, taking a tour in Cambodian, English, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish. We use solar and wind energy. We have one simple bungalow - inquire for prior arrangements. We can be reached from Kep (or Kampot) by tuk-tuk or taxi; many visitors come with locally rented motorscooters

Be careful if you drive on a scooter dusty sandy road! We arrived and was warmly welcomed by I believe (Paul volunteering from France) who offered us some delicious fresh tea. We didn't have to wait too long before we joined another English speaking group for the tour. You get to taste different stages of the peppercorn (green, red, black and black soaked in brine) then a short walk around the farm with lots of information regarding production and harvesting. We decided to stay for lunch fish amok and vegetable stir fry was definitely worth staying for as were the mango shakes. We also purchased some peppercorn dried. This helps support the farm as the tour is for free. Well worth the visit from kep.

Very very nice place to go for a day or two. Am must-do when staying in Kampot or Kep area. Nice beach, very relaxing atmosphere, good and local food. Simply loved it. Remember good shoes if you want to go for a hike to the other side of the Island.

Kep National Park nestles on the hill side behind Kep and forms the back drop to the town of Kep. It is heavily forested but don’t be put off by this because there are a series of good walking trails that can be followed. The trails vary between an easy broad track which circles the park, right through to several smaller narrow tracks that will take you to areas of the park a lot less visited. We particularly liked the so called “stairway to heaven” which eventually led to the sunset rock with spectacular views over two bays and out to sea. The park is shown on several local maps but we found a hand drawn map showing the trails most useful. Even more useful were our hosts Andy and Linda at Casa Kep, very close to the park, who knew the trails very well and gave great directions.

This market is located right on the water. It has an aray of various seafoods from fresh crabs, fish, prawns, pippies, squid and shrimp. Some cooked ready to eat but most just sitting in water on ice and available to buy by the kilo. There food handling practice is somewhat different from ours here in Australia and we found it a little difficult to swallow!! There is a good choice of fresh fruit available and we tried the pineapple which was so sweet and a durian which was interesting. Well worth a visit.

Enjoyed hanging out at Kep Beach for eight days last November. The beach itself is not long but the water is reasonably clean and it is favourite place for people from Phnom Penh, about 165 kms, to visit. We stayed at Saravoan Kep 3 star hotel at the top end of the beach which was only 20 metres away. It is next to the Kep square where there are general stores, a pharmacy and an ATM as well as local restaurants and cafes, serving both local and western food. It is also the stop for buses and mini vans. There are also plenty of tok tuks. We took a taxi from Phnom Penh for US$40. There is a variety of accommodation at Kep ranging from cheap guest houses to a few 4 star resorts. The place is not teeming with international tourists yet. From Kep Beach, in one direction is the Kep Crab Market and a string of waterfront restaurants and in the other direction and a bit further is the pier where boats leave for nearby islands. We spent a relaxing day on the nearest island, Rabbit Island, walking swimming, etc. The island has local restaurants and accommodation.
