Cambodia adventure tours

Like neighbouring Laos, the going in Cambodia can be slow, but the rewards are well worth the wait. The vast majority of tours touch on little more than Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat, so if you want to see more than that, choose your provider with care.

Make sure the trip allows for enough time at Angkor. One full day is not enough time to get even a taste for it. Watch out for "add-ons" that may seem like they're a part of the trip -- a Hot Air Balloon ride for example. While Phnom Penh isn't packed with sights, it improves with time -- the longer your trip allows for there, the better. If the itinerary includes the beaches, be sure to check the weather for that time of year -- the Cambodian coast in wet season can be dismal.
