Sihanoukville Small-Group Shore Excursion with Expert Local Guide

A curated 5-hour small-group cultural journey through Sihanoukville's most compelling landmarks — Buddhist temples, the historic Independence Monument, local fishing villages and Otres Beach — with a passionate, English-speaking Cambodian guide.

What to expect

The tour opens at Independence Beach, the elegant arc of sand where Cambodia's post-independence era is written in the city's very name. You'll visit the beautifully maintained Wat Leu temple, perched on a hill offering panoramic views over the Gulf of Thailand. A tuk-tuk ride through the old fishing quarter reveals a quieter, working-class Sihanoukville still loyal to its roots. The finale is Otres Beach — the city's most stylish stretch of sand — for a leisurely lunch of freshly grilled seafood before a drop-off timed for your return to the ship.
