Cambodia Tours and Itineraries

Cambodia is Angkor first and the rest of the country in the days that remain, and most trips we build here are the add-on to Thailand or Vietnam. These are the six shapes we start from.

Ways to travel Cambodia

These are the shapes we build trips around, not fixed departures. Every itinerary is quoted individually in Australian dollars with international flights, internal flights, drivers, accommodation and guides on one booking. Tell us your dates and we will send a draft.

How a Cambodia itinerary is built

Cambodia is Angkor first and the itinerary is built outward from it: three nights minimum in Siem Reap with a licensed guide and the three-day pass, the sunrise on the first morning and the outer temples on the third, then the rest of the country in the days that remain. Phnom Penh gets two nights and its history gets a morning with a guide and an empty afternoon after; Battambang sits between the two cities for the party with a week; the coast is the finish, cheap and basic and good. The country joins its neighbours without strain — an hour by air from Bangkok or Saigon, or the Mekong boat from the Vietnamese Delta — and most Cambodian trips we build are the add-on to a Thai or Vietnamese one. A car and driver covers the roads; the guide is the difference at Angkor. The Cambodia travel guide has the practical layer.

When to go

November to March is the dry, cooler season and the time to go; October and April are the shoulders. April and May are the hottest months, with 40°C at Angkor by ten. May to September is the wet season: green, humid, afternoon storms, the Tonle Sap high enough for the Battambang boat, and the temples with a fraction of the visitors and half the hotel rates — a reasonable choice for the temples and not for the coast. Khmer New Year in mid-April and the Water Festival in November are the holidays to know. The best time to visit Asia page has the calendar.

What every itinerary includes

• Return airfare from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, open-jaw where the route allows; other cities via those three
• Every internal flight, train, boat and transfer, ticketed
• Accommodation chosen by district and by what the night is for, bed configuration confirmed in writing
• A private driver where the country runs on drivers, and licensed guides where a guide changes the day
• Entry and visa checks for every traveller, a pre-departure pack and a day-by-day document
• A quote in Australian dollars, Australian consumer-law protection, and a Cooee contact in Brisbane

Pricing

Quoted per departure in Australian dollars with everything above included. We do not publish from-prices for international itineraries because the season and the accommodation tier move the total by thousands; the country guide and the South-East Asia guide set out the underlying daily numbers.
