Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

The best diving in Cambodia is on the islands. Less of the bigger fish, but more variety than most places. The dive companies offer lessons, day trips, and overnight trips. Snorkeling, you can do from the beach, but most of the island hopping adventure tours include snorkeling.

Dining & Drinking

Everyone’s got to eat! You can eat on the beach, on a boat, in your rooms, a gourmet restaurant, or a backpacker restaurant. The more expensive meals are right on the beach, but going inland just 50 meters, you can find local food for a dollar or more. Booze is widespread on the islands. Cocktails, wine and beer. The largest brewery in Asia, Angkor Beer Brewery is in SihanoukVille, within view of many islands. (Also Guinness, Carlsberg, Kronenbourg and a few others.)

Exploring

All the islands have beaches and are surrounded by water. It’s an island, right? But traveling to the middle of the islands, almost always uphill, you’ll find jungles, streams, waterfalls, and views of Cambodia and Vietnam, the ocean, and other islands.

The bigger islands have motorycyle and buggy rentals, or you can hire a tuk tuk (cart powered by a motorcycle) to take you around on a tour.
