Moderately active but not overly strenuous. This level includes activities like casual cycling, yoga, or excursions/activities that typically last 3-5 hours total each day.
Arrive to Phnom Penh today where you are met at the airport and set out on the long drive south to Kampot (approximately 3 hours). Along the way stop at multiple places including Tonle Bati where you see Ta Prohm of Bati, and then at Yeay Peau temples. Continue to Phnom Chisor and climb the hill to enjoy a spectacular view of the surrounding plains. Arrive to Kampot and check into your hotel for some relaxation from your journey.
This evening enjoy a sunset cruise on the Kam Pot river. As you cruise on the river you will see locals engaged in variety of daily activities including fishing, their traditional river houses, and views of the Damrei Mountains (Elephant Mountains).
Set out from your hotel this morning to meet your English-speaking guide and your bicycle. The ride will take you through rice fields and durian and rambutan orchards against the scenic backdrop of the mysterious 'Elephant Mountains.' Stop at local villages along the way to meet and speak with local people. Your guide will help translate, and if you are feeling adventurous, try out a few words in Khmer - they are always delighted to hear you try!
Your final destination will be the rapids on the Kampot River. Stop here for a swim in the cool waters and enjoy a leisurely picnic lunch. Then transfer back to your hotel.
Start your day at leisue after breakfast at your hotel, where you will be picked up by your local TukTuk driver and transferred to the Koh Tonsay pier. Hop on a local boat for the 30-minute journey to Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay), where secluded white sand beaches and coconut trees await. While not the pristine, crystal clear paradise associated with many islands in Southeast Asia, Rabbit Island is a charming, quiet and relaxing place to laze away the day. Enjoy a variety of corals, sea animals, and plants in this area as you enjoy the day swimming in the shallow waters. Pick your sun chair, settle in for the day and enjoy a feast of cheap, fresh and delicious seafood for lunch on your own and perhaps a few cold beers.
After a relaxing day, toward the end of the afternoon, board your local boat back to the mainland. Return to Kep in the evening as the sun sets over the Gulf of Thailand.
Today set out with your driver to explore the famous Crab Market in Kep. This market is well known for selling the sweetest crab meat in all of Cambodia. After the market stop, continue two and a half hours to Sihanoukville. Drop off at the pier for taking a shuttle boat transfer to Koh Rong.
Enjoy a free day at your leisure on what is arguably the most beautiful island in Cambodia, Koh Rong Samloem. This is the second largest island in the chain, and here you can enjoy 3 miles (5 km) of white sand beach, along with mountains, waterfalls, and freshwater streams that run down to the ocean.
Day 6: Return Phnom Penh

Enjoy a leisurely morning before driving four hours back to Phnom Penh in time for your flight on to your next destination.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
