A Koh Dach Day by Local Transport

Summary

Receive a morning pickup by tuk tuk from your Phnom Penh hotel, traveling to the ferry pier where you’ll board your boat for the trip to Koh Dach. You’ll enjoy the scenery of Tonle Sap Lake during the short ride to the island. Disembark on Koh Dach and pick up an included rental bike to begin a cycle tour of the island. You’ll roll through the varied landscape of this idyllic area, passing by farm fields, fruit orchards and rice paddies as you proceed. You’ll eventually stop to check out some of Koh Dach’s artisan workshops, offering the chance to observe weavers, potters, and carvers at work. Pick up a souvenir or two if you so choose. Take a break midday for some lunch at a local eatery, followed by dessert picked fresh from the fields of a nearby fruit farm. You’ll then return back to the ferry port for the ride back to the mainland and back to your hotel in Phnom Penh.

Why take this tour?

Get a taste of rural Cambodia with a visit to Koh Dach on the Mekong's shores. This sleepy island, known for its perfect representation of a village where the sands of time move at a much slower pace, straddles the Mekong River and is a tranquil respite from buzzing Phnom Penh. It is home to a weaving community reviving the art of silk weaving and visitors can learn about this ancient skill from feeding up silkworms to spinning and dyeing techniques, or simply spend time exploring quiet local villages where workshops produce pottery and wooden handicrafts. Only a stone’s throw away from Phnom Penh but worlds apart in experiences and Khmer encounters of the traditional kind.
