Getting there

From city streets
to bare feet.

The journey is straightforward once you separate it into three bookings: arrival, mainland transfer and island ferry.

Our promise: we may earn a commission when you book through selected links, at no extra cost to you. Recommendations are organised to help you choose—not to push the highest-paying option.

The journey

Three legs, one simple plan

Leg 1

Reach Cambodia

Compare flights into Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville based on your wider itinerary—not the island alone.

Leg 2

Continue to Sihanoukville

Use a domestic flight, private road transfer, bus or rail service. Leave a sensible buffer before your ferry.

Leg 3

Cross to the correct pier

Ferries serve different island stops. Match the boat, island and pier to the instructions from your accommodation.

Before you board

The ferry checklist

  • Confirm the island: Koh Rong or Koh Rong Sanloem
  • Confirm your accommodation's preferred arrival pier
  • Allow for weather, traffic and schedule changes
  • Keep tickets and hotel transfer details offline
  • Pack valuables and essentials in a small carry-on

Ferry operators and schedules can change seasonally. Use this page to plan the route, then verify the live departure time and pier with the operator and your hotel.
