Incredible Cambodia Journeys
A real treasure, Cambodia is a fascinating destination with a turbulent history, but the country’s progressive, positive attitude and undeniably beautiful landscapes mean this fascinating Kingdom deserves every bit of praise it receives. We agree that every visitor should experience the iconic temples of Angkor at least once in their lives, however there are still vast opportunities for exploration away from this. Delve into the rich cultural history of this nation with private tours of community initiatives, temples and museums, savour the street food with a chef as your guide or relax on secluded untouched beaches that rival any of those throughout Asia.

Our Highlights in Cambodia
SIEM REAP & THE TEMPLES OF ANGKOR
Cambodia’s Crown Jewel
A UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat and the temples of Angkor, dating back to the 12th century, are the most important archaeological site in Cambodia and probably one of the most important in the world. Endlessly fascinating, it is breathtaking for even the most seasoned traveller and you can discover obscure temples hidden down jungle paths which could keep you busy for days with the guidance of a local expert with virtually no crowds. Visitors to Siem Reap are not only captivated by the awe-inspiring architecture but also immersed in the vibrant culture of this bustling town, where traditional markets, an excellent culinary scene, and tranquil countryside await.
MEKONG RIVER
The Magic of The Mekong
No trip to Cambodia is complete without a cruise on the mighty Mekong River between Cambodia and Vietnam. The opportunity to discover rich heritage and traditions enriched by 2,000 years of human history is what makes this one of Asia’s most epic and worthwhile journeys on water. We only partner with small vessel operators who offer a truly immersive, meaningful, and personalised experience in this culture-rich landscape. A cradle for nature, the Mekong is home to a wealth of fish & myriad of bird species. In the verdant rice fields dotted with pockets of lush greenery that line the banks of this colossal river, you will spot the ubiquitous Brahman oxen that diligently work the fields.
PHNOM PENH
The Heart of Cambodia
The capital city strikes the perfect balance of traditional charm and history with the vibrancy of a modern-day metropolis. Satisfy your urge to explore and stroll through the colourful markets, indulge in private culinary experiences and relax in world-class accommodations. Pay tribute to the people of Cambodia by visiting the Killing Fields and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum to learn more about the complex history of this kingdom. The Royal Palace, the official residence of the King of Cambodia, cannot be missed as it stands gracefully in the picturesque gardens with its golden roof reflecting against the sky – an unforgettable sight.
Cambodia’s Islands
Coastal Paradise
Cambodia’s beaches have been largely untouched but now a wave of property openings have brought world-class beach stays to rival any across Asia. More and more are now waking up to the beauty of these untouched coastlines, postcard-perfect tropical islands and powder-white sand lapped by turquoise oceans. This tranquil setting allows visitors to experience a true private island-style stay without crowds & distraction. These locations may be relatively unknown now but we do not think they will remain for long – they are a perfect pairing to an itinerary exploring the mainland.
THE CARDAMOM MOUNTAINS
The Ultimate Rainforest Experience
The sprawling Cardamom are a natural playground home to a vast array of terrain, including mountains, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, plains and Southeast Asia’s largest mangrove forest. There are ample opportunities for kayaking, hiking, riverside picnics, waterfall excursions, wildlife walks and ranger walks. If you’re tempted to up the tempo even more, zip lines and mountain bikes are also on offer. Local initiative and village visits are imperative here to really understand the challenges the region faces, and the solutions being implemented to preserve the natural surroundings. This is an area that has been pretty much untouched by tourism, however a handful of beautiful lodges are now providing access and experiences like no other.
