The boat was very comfortable but extremely late and kept making multiple stops before ours even though they kept saying it was the next one. I would not try to be anywhere on time if you’re going to or from Koh Rong

Ran like clockwork - everything was taken care of. Met at the office in Kampot - bus to the port 5k away. The only thing I would say is get a seat as quickly as possible - there were late travellers so you end up 3 on a bench seat. Took 1.30 minutes to Rumi Pier xxx Many thanks

The transfer bus was good but the link between drop off & ferry nothing- Be aware you need to go into the / a ticket office close to where you are dropped to get an actual ferry ticket the voucher from 12 go Asia isn't your ticket. Then triple check you are given the correct ticket / directed to the correcr ferry for your destination .We were sold a package to K R Sanleom from Kampot at 0800 - the ferry we were put on only went to Koh Rong so we had to wait 3.5 hours for another - not the end of the world! But with hindsight we wouldn't have bothered getting the early bus from Kampot as not ferry to Sanleoem with the company in this package until pm

We booked a trip from Kampot to Koh Rong island. The driver was on time and the van was comfortable. But when we had to take the boat from sihanoukville, they struggled to got us tickets - the boat ticket was included in our trip. Anyway, they make it but we almost missed the boat, it was a bit messy. Better to book the bus/can and boat separately

Old coach, hot and unstable - a long stretch of the journey is through an unpaved road. Only one toilet break - not enough for the journey. Arrival at Sihanoukville chaotic - and poor info as to which ferry to catch
