Koh Rong Island and Koh Rong Samloem Island, Cambodia.
Journey to these islands is basic. There are a range of ferries leaving each day from Sihanoukville on the mainland. The 25km journey will take about 1 hour on just one of the speed ferries or 1hr 45 minutes on just one of the ‘slow boats’. Costs at the moment are $20 return for the speed ferry or $10 return for the sluggish boat option.
Look at thoroughly when booking that you are going to the proper island, not every single ferry goes to both of those islands and travelers normally get puzzled between Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem. Also, although travel amongst the islands is quite possible there are no ‘scheduled’ solutions and you may possibly have to negotiate with a local taxi boat or wait till yet another ferry has a support offered.
KR is the busier of the two islands with far more facilities, KRS is quieter, much less created and frequently much more costly.
Traveling to Koh Rong, you will get there in Koh Contact village where by there are lots of bars, dorms, rooms for lease and bungalows, at present only a pair present A/C. Koh Rong Samloem is also inhabited and provides some lodging, bars and dining establishments but is significantly less formulated and can be much more pricey. Two other nearby islands, Koh Koun and a small island recognised domestically as ‘Small Island’ are just about uninhabited and boats do not drop travellers off there, all 4 islands do nonetheless present some exceptional snorkeling and diving locations. This can make Koh Rong an exceptional ‘base camp’ for diving, snorkeling boat excursions and ‘island hopping’.
Lifetime right here largely revolves all over shorelines and bars. Issues to do include things like boat excursions, diving, snorkeling and High Position rope park established large in the rain forest cover with 400m of rope-techniques and ladders and a 130m Zip Line. You can also hire snorkeling devices and kayaks. As you wander further absent from the village seashores come to be extra deserted and the waters turn into clearer.

The islands give you an best option for chilling out on a deserted white seaside, partying or experience, just be well prepared and educated and you will have an magnificent time.
