Cambodia Explorer

Today is the first day of your epic adventure and your Tru Welcome day! We kick things off in the gateway to the ancient city, world-famous for Angkor Wat. Nowadays, this laid back river town is known for its lively dining and bar scene which we’ll hit up this evening.

You can take advantage of your free airport pick up, or you can meet us at our hostel where you’ll meet the rest of the family, along with your Travel Ninja. You’ll have the day to chill & get settled in or explore the city. In the evening, join forces with your group for your welcome speech and to hear what’s in store for you over the next nine days. Head out for a group meal near the legendary Pub Street, Cambodia’s answer to Thailand’s Khao San Road, famous for flashing neon lights, backpacker friendly bars and street food. If you fancy it, sink a drink or two and party the night away - the perfect icebreaker.

TRANSPORT: You will be met at the airport and transferred to the hotel to start your adventure.

Today we set off for a Tru Exclusive, an authentic Cambodian experience you can’t get anywhere else. Hop in a tuk tuk and drive through the bustling streets of Siem Riep to today’s cultural experience. Step into the shoes of a local Mango farmer and learn what it takes to be a farmer in rural Cambodia. You’ll even get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

All that farming has got us peckish! Join our local guide in his family home, roll your sleeves up and help prepare lunch for the group. We’ll head back to the city to spend some time chilling at the hostel, taking a dip in the pool and getting ready for a sunset BBQ this evening.

You’ve got a big day ahead tomorrow, so best to have a chilled one tonight and get an early night. We’re not holding you to it though!

ACTIVITY: Tru-exclusive

ACTIVITY: Have a chilled evening watching a beautiful Cambodian sunset.

Rise and shine people - prepare to be blown away. It’s time to tick a big one off your bucket list! It’s our last full day in Siem Reap, but arguably one of the highlights of your trip. One of the most TRUly amazing experiences you will have the chance to witness. Take in the sights of the Cambodian countryside, while navigating the winding roads in a tuk tuk on our way to the UNESCO Heritage site and world famous Angkor Wat just in time for sunrise.

Words cannot describe the feeling of watching the sun rise over this ancient spiritual site. Get your Insta worthy shots of the temple’s reflection in the ponds with the red hues of the morning sky. The afternoon is yours to explore Siem Reap, or take a much needed nap before our last night out on Pub Street.

TRANSPORT: Scoot quickly around the big cities inside a three-wheeled mini-taxi.

ACTIVITY: An early start but totally worth it

Wave goodbye to Siem Reap, and head towards Cambodia’s capital city, Phnom Penh. After last night’s antics, you’ll probably need to use this time to catch a few z’s. Stop off in the countryside for a spot of lunch before heading to the famous Spider Market where you can get up and close with Tarantulas (if you’re brave enough), or if you’d prefer, you can just hide in the van - we won’t judge!


Check into our Phnom Penh accommodation, freshen up and head out for an evening stroll and group dinner at a riverside restaurant. After dinner have a wander through the night market or skip that and head straight out to check out the bustling nightlife!

TRANSPORT: It's bigger than a van, smaller than a bus, and just the right size for adventure.

An important part of travelling is taking the time to learn about a country’s culture and history. Today is a very humbling and eye-opening experience as we head to Cambodia’s S21 prison and Killing Fields to learn about the chilling and not too distant history. We will be taking a TukTuk tour to the historical sights, when we arrive we will spend some time looking around and learning about what happened here to shape modern day Cambodia and the people themselves.

ACTIVITY: Learn about Cambodia's recent past

In the morning, we make our way to the riverside town of Kampot taking in the stunning mountain views and rivers before we stop off at Arcadia Waterpark. A chilled, fun afternoon on the freshwater river where you can relax with a beer, rent a kayak to explore, or have your fellow group members launch you sky high on the blob. A great spot with rope swings, pontoons and tubes.

TRANSPORT: It's bigger than a van, smaller than a bus, and just the right size for adventure.

ACTIVITY: Spend a few hours at Arcadia waterpark

Today, we adventure around Kampot exploring all it has to offer. We’ll head out to a local pepper plantation where we’ll learn everything you need to know about farming the famous Kampot peppers. Some of the best peppers in the world are grown in Kampot! After all that learning, it’s time to use your newfound pepper knowledge to cook a traditional Khmer meal. In the evening, hop on some bikes and head down to the river for a dinner overlooking the river.

ACTIVITY: Learn to cook with Kampot's legendary pepper.

Time for some much needed island time! We head to the stunning islands of Koh Rong Samloem today. After check in, spend the afternoon relaxing in hammocks over the ocean, climbin on the swings for that perfect Insta worthys hot, of chillon the beautiful white beaches watching the sunset over this little slice of paradise.

TRANSPORT: It's bigger than a van, smaller than a bus, and just the right size for adventure.

TRANSPORT: Get to the next spot on your route aboard a convenient and efficient ferry boat.

Have a bit of a lie in before a day of sun, sea and sand - today is all about chilling out. Island hop along the emerald waters in a traditional Cambodian longtail boat. Now’s your chance to wind down, soak up the rays, top up your tan (don’t forget your factor 50) and try your hand at a traditional way of fishing.

Show off your belly flopping skills, or find your inner Ariel/mermaid and snorkel over the vibrant coral, exploring the marine life around the islands before heading to a secluded beach for a BBQ lunch. Head back to the island and enjoy some free time to chillax or have a few cold beers and cut a few shapes.

ACTIVITY: Free day to do as little or as much as you want

Today we bid farwell to paradise and the beauty that is Koh Rong Samleom! It's been an incredible few days of crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches but it's time to head back to the city for one last BIG night out! We travel by boat and bus and check into our a hotel in Phnom Penh. We'lll have a few hours to chill before we get dressed and head out for the big finale! One last TruFam dinner together! We grab some food and see where the night takes us!

Ah. The final day. *Sniffle* No, you’re crying.

Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end and, after an epic 10 days, it’s time to say your goodbyes to your TruFamily and check out of the hotel.
