Getting There and Away

Bus

If coming from Phnom Penh, note that Kep and Kampot, while relatively close, are reached by different roads. For both, Phnom Penh is left via Route 3 (which leads all the way to Kampot), but not long after the turn-off to Takeo, one needs to bear left on Route 31 which runs, via Kompong Trach to reach Kep. Kep and Kampot are connected via the sealed Route 33 which runs not far from the coast.

Kep is easily reached from Kampot by both tuk tuk (US$4 one way) and motodop (US$3 one way), with the trip taking around 30-45 minutes. Daily buses run at 07:15 and 12:15, costing US$2.50 and taking about one hour. A private taxi should cost around US$15 and take 30 minutes.

A bus to Phnom Penh costs US$5, a taxi around US$35 to $40.

Heading east to the Vietnamese border, a motodop costs $5, tuk tuks $7 with the trip taking around 30 minutes depending on road conditions (it is not all sealed).

Boat

Boats to Ko Tonsay leave from a pier around 1km east of Kep Beach. The fare is set at US$10 for a return trip, so it's best to gather a group together if you want to keep costs down. The boat trip takes about 30 minutes each way.
