- Salt Fields - Begin your journey with a transfer out of town to explore the Salt Fields. Witness the diligent work of farmers in these fields. Cambodia is known for exporting a variety of products, including salt. The country produces enough salt for both domestic use and export, with most production occurring in Kampot, near the sea.
- Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple - Travel to Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple. The journey along the winding dirt road, especially by motorbike, can be quite exhausting. However, the scenic views of the Cambodian countryside, featuring paddy fields, small farms, and limestone formations covered in lush vegetation, make it worthwhile. The mountain is a towering limestone karst with hidden chambers, rocky outcrops, and stalactites formed by calcium carbonate solution. The largest cave houses an ancient red brick temple beneath a massive rock formation resembling an eagle. Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple likely dates back to the 7th century, during the pre-Angkorian Funan period in Cambodia.
- Brateak Krola Lake - Secret Lake, or Brateak Krola Lake, is not actually a lake but a dam. Constructed with forced labor during the Khmer Rouge era, it is a vast body of water, especially for a man-made structure. The journey is truly rewarding, offering a glimpse of the Cambodia many hope to discover.
- BoTree Farm - After visiting Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple, continue the trip to Kampot pepper farm. This is an ideal place to learn about the history of Kampot Pepper and its traditional and organic production methods. Discover why Kampot Pepper has been acclaimed as the #1 Best Pepper in the world by chefs and food enthusiasts for over a century.

Great Experience, Excellent Guide - Our guide, Roy was great, a safe and careful driver, informative and entertaining. We would thoroughly recommend Roy and this tour, it’s a great half day out.
We had the choice of visiting one of two pepper plantations. We chose the locally run plantation, Bo Tree Farm and we were pleased that we did as the experience there felt much more natural and rewarding.

Relaxed driver and tour. - Rany was suggested to us by a fellow traveller. We easily booked an afternoon tour with him, and he picked us up in town.
Rany drives very carefully, and showed us interesting places, as promised.
It was a great day!

Great activities - Wandon, our tuk-tuk driver, also acted as our guide. He had a great sense of humor, spoke fluent English, and knew the sites we were going to visit perfectly, and much more. I highly recommend him. Be prepared, however, for a bumpy road to reach the cave.

Really amazing morning out - We had a day out to the Salt fields, the Phnom Chhngok cave, the secret lake and the Bo Tree pepper farm with an absolutely amazing guy called Roy. A truly lovely guy, couldn't do enough for us, so informative and interesting, real fun guy to spend time with, if you lived over here, the kind of guy you would like as a friend to spend time with socially.
He explained in detail the history and uses of each area and made the suggestion as to which pepper farm we visited. Bo Tree has young overseas volunteer workers who take you on a tour of the farm, explaining pepper production and then take you through a tasting at the end of it.
All in all such an amazing day out, one of the best we've ever had worldwide.

Comprehensive Tour, Incredible Guide - One of the highlights of our entire 2 weeks in Cambodia! 
Roy is such an incredible guide, with so much historical knowledge and personal experience that he so generously shares with his guests.
He is an incredible story teller with impeccable self-taught English, and each site we went to Roy was able to make history come to life with this personal anecdotes, historical knowledge, and sharp humor.

We initially just booked the half day country side tour that went to the elephant cave, salt fields/secret lake, and pepper plantation.
For the pepper plantation Roy took us to a plantation that was family owned rather than the big foreign owned touristy one which we really appreciated.

By the end of this half day tour we felt like we still wanted to explore more and hear more from Roy, so we ended up adding on a trip up to Bokor mountain (this is listed as a seperate booking on Viator/Trip Advisor).
It was a very worth-while addition, with a completely different atmosphere and quite a few historical landmarks on top.

Overall, a wonderful way to spend a half or full day in Kampot with your expert local guide Roy :)
