When it comes to planning your epic adventure in Cambodia, the first thing to know is—you’re in for something unforgettable. Whether you're here for the lush jungles, island hopping, ancient temples, or the buzzing energy of the cities, this place has a way of sticking with you. But where do you even start?

Let’s break it down with a few insights from our crew who live and breathe this beautiful country every day.

Start With What Kind of Adventure You’re After

Cambodia’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of destination. Want waterfalls and hammock naps? Head for the islands. Need temples and tuk tuk rides through ancient ruins? Siem Reap’s calling. Keen to soak in street food and city culture? Phnom Penh’s where it’s at.

Our team in M'Pai Bay on Koh Rong Samloem can hook you up with snorkeling, jungle treks, and quiet beach time—perfect if you want a mix of wild and chill. Over in Siem Reap, our solo superstar coordinates temple explorations and countryside bike rides with a network of amazing local guides. And in Phnom Penh, our one-man base is all about making the capital feel like home, with a solid list of local spots you won’t find in guidebooks.

Timing Is Everything

The dry season (roughly November to April) is prime time for beach lounging and temple exploring without the mud. But don’t count out the green season! From May to October, the jungle is at its most vibrant, the waterfalls are flowing, and crowds are thinner.

Go Beyond the Big Names

Sure, Angkor Wat is a must. But there’s so much more once you get off the main track. Think hidden forest temples, floating villages, offbeat islands, and cozy guesthouses run by locals who love to share their corner of Cambodia with travelers. Our guides love nothing more than showing off the bits most people miss.

Travel Light, But Smart

When planning how to plan an epic adventure trip to Cambodia, pack light—but don’t forget the essentials: a good pair of walking shoes, reef-safe sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and plenty of curiosity. The best adventures here happen when you’re ready to go with the flow (and maybe hop on a last-minute boat ride).

Connect With People Who Know the Land

We’ve learned over the years that the best way to keep things running smoothly is to have real people in each city who know their stuff. We might not have big offices anymore—most of our bookings happen online these days—but we’ve got even better: locals who care. They’re the ones making sure your tuk tuk is on time, your day trip is awesome, and your adventure feels personal.

So if you’re gearing up for something truly epic, just know Cambodia’s got the goods. And we’ve got your back, from the jungle to the beach to the city streets.

Let the adventure begin.
