Prepare for an unforgettable adventure! At 3:00 PM, you'll climb into a rugged vintage jeep with your dedicated driver and guide, venturing just outside Siem Reap into the authentic Cambodian countryside. Our first stop is a local home, where you'll meet a family and acquire fresh lotus blossoms – a beautiful offering for Buddha. Your journey continues along hidden sandy tracks and through dense forests, leading you to a serene Buddhist pagoda. Suddenly, the vast expanse of West Baray, a gigantic ancient lake, appears before you, an awe-inspiring sight. We'll drive for several kilometers along its tranquil shores before arriving at a picturesque pagoda. Here, you'll present your lotus offerings and receive a special blessing from the monks. Following this spiritual moment, we trade our vintage jeep for a boat, preparing to cross the majestic waters of West Baray, immersing ourselves in its ancient grandeur. You will stroll through Kok Tnout village, a hidden gem where rice fields stretch forever and life slows down. Meet the locals, learn to paint coconuts or weave with palm leaves. But wait, there’s more! Before dinner, get pampered with a foot massage, sip sunset cocktails you made yourself, or ride an ox cart like royalty. Step into an evening of pure enchantment! Your exquisite dinner unfolds in the tranquil garden of a traditional Cambodian home, where the soft glow of lanterns illuminates your feast beneath a breathtaking canopy of twinkling stars. The air will be
Nothing beats a great sunrise, that is except seeing the sunrise over the most iconic temple in the world coupled with a unique vintage jeep tour! You will have an early start when you are picked up from your hotel in a vintage jeep. You will be driven directly to the magnificent Angkor Wat temple. Here you will watch the sun rise over the majestic ruins as it gradually illuminates the temple's stunning five towers. After this beautiful experience, you will enjoy a magical walk through the temple in the soft morning light and cool temperatures. After you have fully taken in all this UNESCO World Heritage Site has to offer, we'll take you back to your hotel so you can freshen up and enjoy breakfast. You can regain your energy and reflect on the morning so far. After breakfast, you will ride around the hidden trails of the Angkor complex in the jeep. Our years of experience here in Cambodia have allowed us to research and discover the paths less travelled, allowing you to experience this beautiful tour away from the crowds. You will travel along dirt roads and through the jungle to visit some of the park’s best-kept secrets as well as the iconic temples. The giant, magical faces of the Bayon Temple, the mystical temple of Ta Prom where nature has sought to reclaim the ruins, are just some of the highlights you will experience. Enjoy a local lunch in a quaint village near the East Baray lake, prepared by a family in their home. This unique experience combines history, culture, and tradition for an unforgettable day out.
Cambodia is home to the great Tonle Sap Lake, which is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia! Surrounding the lake, there are several floating communities, several of which you can visit from Siem Reap. Today we will visit one of the smaller, more scenic villages of Kampong Phluk, or 'Port of Tusks' by vintage jeep. We depart the hotel and we are soon traveling on Jeep friendly country roads, and in the real Cambodia! This morning we will travel like the locals and take some time to explore a local village by bicycle. The roads are flat and there is little traffic, so it’s a nice relaxing time and a good opportunity to practice your 'Soousaday!' (Hello!) with the local kids. Soon, we are back in our restored vintage Jeep and on our way to visit Kampong Phluk. As we approach the village and the lake, you will see the landscape and the houses change. Depending on the height of the water, we may drive quite far into the village, but if the water is high, we may switch to a local boat early on. People here need to be quite flexible in the way that they live and move around and the village as it changes depending on the season. Traveling by boat allows us to really explore the village, and travel like the locals. Life can be tough here but the people are very resilient and are always quick to smile and wave. Our guide will explain to you how the village operates and how people can survive here – fishing of course is a big part, but when the water is lower, there is all
At the foothills of the beautiful Kulen Mountains lies the Bos Thom Community Forest, 1100 acres of pristine, protected forest inhabited by the 14 elephants of Angkor. For 22 years, these elephants were used as tourist attractions, giving rides to visitors in the temples of the world heritage site. Today, thankfully, they roam free in their natural habitat and are a living testament to a changing world. Its name: Kulen Elephant Project The journey to the Kulen Elephant Forest is almost as spectacular as seeing the majestic elephants themselves. Traveling in one of our restored vintage jeeps makes this trip more adventurous, allowing you to travel on small dirt roads through the forest, giving you a truly unique view of nature at its finest. In the morning, you will have a magical experience of helping feed the elephants their breakfast, and watching them get ready for their day before heading into the forest together. Experiencing the elephants’ mornings is a fantastic way to gain a deeper understanding of how to care for these magnificent creatures. At noon, you will retreat to base camp and enjoy a delicious traditional meal alongside our resident giants, before saying goodbye and embarking on your afternoon activities. Hop into our sturdy jeep, and let our knowledgeable guides reveal the true essence of rural Cambodia! We'll venture deep into the countryside, tackling rough terrain that would be impassable for ordinary vehicles, offering you an unforgettable adventure like no other.
Embark on an epic escape from Siem Reap! Our vintage jeep will whisk you away to the heart of the stunning Cambodian countryside. Then, we switch from wheels to pedals, jumping onto local bicycles. Conquer the vibrant red dirt roads, winding through authentic villages on a smooth, flat ride. We'll stop at a bustling local market, immersing ourselves in the raw energy of traditional Khmer trade - a daily spectacle! We then continue our journey with a visit to one of the most impressive floating villages in Cambodia - Kampong Kleang. Upon arrival at the village, we will board a boat and set off to explore the floating village. At lunchtime, we will take you to a stilt house in the village to enjoy a typical Khmer lunch with very friendly locals. Next, we proceed to the Vietnamese floating village. This village is unlike the rest of Kampong Kleang. The Vietnamese Village is not made up of stilt houses. The houses there are built on floating objects that keep them afloat on the Tonlé Sap. The village moves along the river and sometimes up to the lake depending on the season. The above program may be modified or rearranged by the tour leader based on the best options available considering the weather, our guests' ability to ride a bicycle, or other factors requiring adjustments to the itinerary. We typically return to town around 5 PM, although this can vary depending on your interests and how much time you spend interacting with the locals, cycling pace, etc.
Join us for an unforgettable day exploring the ancient temples of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1992. Our expertly guided vintage jeep tour takes you off the beaten path, avoiding the crowds of tuk-tuks and buses, to immerse you in the serenity of these historical wonders. As you journey through the park, your English-speaking guide will reveal the secrets of the majestic structures, including the breathtaking Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. Marvel at the stunning bas-reliefs and sculptures of garudas and apsara dancers that adorn these 12th-century temples. While we can’t always avoid the tourists at the main sites like Angkor Wat and Bayon, we also explore lesser-known temples to give you a more intimate experience. These hidden gems offer a peaceful atmosphere, allowing you to connect with the mystical energy of the ancient Khmer kingdom. Enjoy a local lunch in a quaint village near the East Baray lake, prepared by a family in their home. This unique experience combines history, culture, and natural beauty, making your day at Angkor Wat truly unforgettable.
