Koh Rong to Kampot Destination Reviews

We booked the ferry all the way to Kampot - Got told by someone at the port that we have to get on the boat now (a much smaller boat, 2 hours before departure time) because our ferry was cancelled. Got to main island port and had to wait until 2.30pm to get a filthy small bus to Kampot which we arrived 2.5 hours after we were supposed to, even though we left 2 hours prior. The 3 hour trip took 6 hours.

Arrived 50 minutes late. When we initially asked we were told it wasnt at 1, but instead 1:30, despite their own timetable saying 1 as well as the booking. When I queried about this, suddenly the delay was due to the weather being too warm. We were also told during we "didnt have time" to go and get any food and were not given any expected timeframe until the boat suddenly showed up. When we finally got picked up the boat went dangerously fast over massive, choppy waves, with the boat making cracking and snapping noises with the impact on the waves. This apparently didnt phase the captain who refused to slow down. These were the same waves that the same day capsized a boat near Phu Quoc island where 15 people died. We were also sold this as Koh rong to Kampot direct, which ended up being a boat to sihanoukville and a bus for another 4 hours to Kampot (initially told this would take 2-3 hrs). What was supposed to be a 4pm arrival ended up as 5:50pm. If precautions and good communication was used we wouldnt have minded the delay as safety comes first but we were left in the dark and very concerned on the water. Dont waste your time, book with a more reliable, less reckless company

The wrong pier was put on the ferry tickets and no one thought to inform us after multiple phone calls of us trying to find where to pick up tickets. Eventually when we found it 35 minutes later, they knew this was an issue. The ferry was over an hour late which would’ve been fine if we were told. Lots of people sick on the ferry. Got to the bus station to be told we’d missed the bus as the ferry was late and had to wait 2 hours. Tour office smelt as rubbish was everywhere so couldn’t wait there. Eventually when we got on the bus the driver drove fast down the bumpy roads and we had to stop to have the tyre fixed. Said we would arrive at 5:15 and arrived at 8pm

The ferry didn’t come due to “a storm”. In nice calm weather. So they stuck us in the ferry to Sihanoukville and from there on a 3 hours busdrive. It was low season, so suspect the boat wasn’t filled up, and this solution was cheaper.

Excellent service would definitely use again. Gets into Kampot quite regularly at 16:00 ... not as advertised 15:30. No issue but just to make aware for onward travel.... 5 .3479579443446E+43;
