On your Cambodia vacation experience the warm and friendly way of life of the Cambodian people. A tour of Cambodia is as much about exploring its rich history and magnificent temples, as it is about connecting with the beautiful Cambodian people. This Cambodia package tour was built specifically with families in mind. It is fully customizable.
You’ll ride through rice-fields with a local Cambodian tour guide, watch amazing circus performers tumble and twirl, then read and craft with local kids. On a tour of Lake Tonle Sap, marvel at the way families have lived for generations on floating villages as you meander their waterways.
The highlight of most Cambodia tours is a visit to Angkor Wat, a UNESCO world heritage site. We’ve picked the best tour guides who have been specially trained to engage kids. They’ll bring alive the history and stories of these ancient temples at Angkor Thom, the temple with its many faces, and Banteay Srei, the temple with intricately carved lacey walls. Your kids will love weaving in and out of Ta Prohm, the temple engulfed by Bayan trees, which was made famous by the movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
After soaking in the fascinating history on your Cambodia tour, you’ll head for some relaxing beach time on the laid back white sand beaches of Koh Rong Island. This jungle island paradise is just the place for a little digital detox. As you unwind, spend your days as you like – go snorkeling, diving, hiking, or kayaking. But if you’re lucky enough to catch a dark moonless night, head to Long Set Beach, Lonely Beach or Coconut Beach for a swim in an enchanting bioluminescent bay.
Wondering if Cambodia is a country that kids will enjoy? Here’s why we thought Cambodia with kids is fantastic! All our tours are fully customizable. Here are a few other fun things to do in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
