Highlights
  • Bokor National Park - Pick you at your hotel and transfer to Bokor Mountain. It is located approximately 11 kilometers west of Kampot city. During the reign of King Sisowath, the mountain was first developed by a group of foreigners in 1917, and then organized by a Frenchman named Roulouse on April 13, 1922. During colonial times, Bokor Mountain was a popular destination for French colonists seeking a respite from the city’s heat. The temperature at the top of Bokor Mountain, which is 1075 meters high, is moderately cool, ranging from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. Depending on the mode of transportation, the 32-kilometer journey from the base to the summit of the Mountain can take up to an hour or more.

Unforgettable Bokor National Park Tour - This Kampot Day Tour to Bokor National Park was fantastic! The scenery was stunning, with breathtaking mountain views and a fascinating abandoned French resort. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting history about the park. Exploring the Pokor Hill Station, from the Buddha statue to the old casino, was a unique adventure. Highly recommend for a full-day escape to nature and history!

Great tour for information and photo opportunities - My guide Roy was really knowledgeable and told me loads about the history of the place , he gave me plenty of time to take photos and answered all my questions. The views are stunning up the top , you can understand how it became the last strong hold of the Khmer Rouge. As it was the dry season he said the waterfall had no water and asked if I’d like to feed fish in a lake by the big Company house instead, which I did , it’s a lovely spot and there were hundreds of fish !

Epic day trip from Kampot with great driver, Roy - Very interesting tour where you can learn about the colonial history of Cambodia and also see some great views and experience the nature. Roy, our driver, was very nice and his English was fantastic. He gave us great insight into the history of Cambodia and also the current political problems. The whole trip took around 5 hours, it was worth the money!

Great day trip!! - Amazing day in Bokor National Park. Roy came to pick us up in the hotel and brought us to see the temples and former hotel and casino on the area. He knows a lot about the history of the place and explained us everything perfectly. Really happy with him. Also saw some monkeys on the road on our way up and down the mountain!! Highly recommended!!

Great tour from the same company where we did the Pepper farm tour. Thanks Roy - Whistle stop tour of bokor mountain with a rich history. Some stops had amazing view of the sea shoreline and Roy was a good photographer Good commentary and his personal anecdotes added life to the tour. Well organized, thought through and comfortable ride. Pepper farm tour was amazing but this is also good. If you have two days then surely do this

Average - The tour was ok, probably a little over priced, but I think that’s because it’s a company that take their cut, then pays the guide. In future id prefer to go direct to the guide

Bokor - The program was poor. Google knows more about these area. But the guide was kind. The tour is overprice.
