Transferring in from the airport we check in to our hotel and look forward to our forthcoming trip.

Today we set off to explore this bustling city’s major sights by bike. Phnom Penh is a lovely, laid-back city still with a crumbling grace and beauty not often found in other Asian capitals. Wide boulevards, wats, markets and the city’s riverside frontage combine to give it much appeal.

Our bike sightseeing tour takes in the National Museum, Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. This afternoon we visit the sad Tuol Sleng Prison and Wat Phnom, site of the original city as well as the poignant Choeung Ek “killing fields”. Cycle approximately 35km.

Setting off this morning we cycle to Tonle Bati for a picnic lunch before heading to Phnom Chiso. The summit can be reached via a 180-step climb and offers magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Later we’ll arrive at Takeo for the night. Cycle approximately 60km.

We’ll drive to the gate of Kabas and then cycle to the charming Khmer town of Angkor Borei for a visit before heading on to Phnom Da where we relax and enjoy lunch on the hill top before taking a boat to Kampot. Cycle approximately 52km.

Leaving Kampot we head for the Phnom Sia limestone caves before arriving at the seaside town of Kep. Here we take a boat trip to the beautiful Rabbit Island for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing. We return to Kep for the night. Cycle approximately 35km.

Initially we drive through fertile Bokor National Park with its abandoned hill station and pause for lunch at Po Pok Vil Waterfalls for some respite. In the afternoon we arrive at the quiet beach resort town of Sihanoukville. Cycle approximately 53km.

Today we set off to cycle to Ream Maritime National Park to discover its mangrove forests, offshore coral reefs and fishing villages. We explore the jungles and mangrove swamps by boat, and also visit a fishing village and small tropical island. Later we will take a boat back to port and cycle to Sihanoukville. Cycle approximately 56km.

This morning we have some free time in Sihanoukville to stroll around the market or relax on the sandy beaches before we drive to Phnom Penh in the afternoon. On arrival the tour ends.
