Itinerary
Welcome to Sihanoukville! We will meet you at either Sihanoukville Port Gate 2 or the Independence Monument, depending on the drop-off location provided by the cruise's complimentary shuttle service for passengers. Please take this free shuttle bus when you get off from your cruise ship and they will take you to the drop-off point where we will meet you. Once your shuttle bus arrives at the designated meeting point, please look for your guide and driver, who will be holding a sign with your name clearly printed.
You will visit The Independence Monument in Sihanoukville, built in 1985, honors Cambodia's independence and those who sacrificed their lives in past conflicts. Located on Ekareach Street between the city center and Victory Hill, it sits within a small park. Next to the monument is a shrine used for religious festivals. Featuring a lotus-shaped stupa in traditional Khmer style, it serves as a symbol of national pride and a key landmark for visitors.
The Fishing Village in Sihanoukville offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of local fishermen. Each evening, they venture out to the open sea and return early the next morning with their catch. At the port, you'll see traditional boats docked as fishermen unload their haul, repair damaged nets, and prepare their gear for the next night's work. It's a vibrant scene that captures the rhythm of coastal life.
Phsar Leu Market, also known as Sihanoukville Market, is a lively hub in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, where visitors can experience local daily life. The market offers a wide selection of fresh produce, seafood, meats, and spices, providing an authentic taste of Cambodian cuisine. It also features clothing, accessories, and traditional handicrafts, making it a great spot for souvenirs. Visiting Phsar Leu Market gives you a chance to interact with friendly vendors, immerse yourself in the local culture, and observe traditional shopping practices. It’s the perfect place to try street food, including fresh spring rolls, grilled meats, and sweet coconut desserts. The market is open daily from 7 am to 6 pm, allowing plenty of time to explore.
Visit Wat Krom, also known as Wat IntNhean, is a notable Buddhist temple in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Located on a hilltop with stunning views of Sihanoukville City and the Gulf of Thailand, the temple features a large reclining Buddha and a shrine dedicated to the local deity Ya-Mao. Beyond being a place of worship, Wat Krom is a cultural landmark, drawing visitors with its peaceful atmosphere and architectural charm.
Pass by: The Golden Lions Roundabout, or Vimean Tao Meas, is a key landmark in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Built in 1996, it features two golden lion statues symbolizing the city’s strength and pride. Located at a major intersection near Sokha and Ochheuteal beaches, the area is surrounded by restaurants and shops, becoming lively in the evenings. Though traffic can be heavy, it remains a popular cultural and social hub for visitors.
The Statue of Preah Thong and Neang Neak in Sihanoukville is a tribute to Khmer heritage. Erected in 2022, it is the country's largest copper statue, standing 27.34 meters tall, including its pedestal. The statue depicts the legendary figures Preah Thong (Kaundinya I) and Neang Neak (Queen Soma), who are considered the co-founders of the ancient state of Funan. According to legend, Preah Thong, an Indian prince, arrived in the region and married Neang Neak, a Naga princess. Their union is said to have given rise to the Khmer people and culture. Located at the Ream Beach roundabout, facing the sea, it symbolizes Khmer traditions and has become a major cultural landmark, drawing both locals and tourists.
No visit to Sihanoukville is complete without a stroll along its pristine sandy beaches. We’ll take you to Otres Beach or Sokha Beach, where you can soak in the tropical island breeze. You may also enjoy a coffee break or lunch at your own expense, upon request. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your shuttle bus station, where you’ll board the bus back to your cruise ship.

Sihanoukville City Tour, Cambodia
San was excellent. Very personable, engaged, and attentive. Sihanoukville is an interesting but challenging City as it is difficult putting together a six hour itinerary that holds your interest. Excellent choice for lunch. San has a great backstory and is genuinely a wonderful person. We’d definitely use him again.

Sihanoukville with San.
San was an excellent guide and very informative. His story was very interesting and enhanced the experience making it more personal. His background and knowledge of Cambodia was excellent and his English was good as well. He wanted to make sure that we understood everything too, and asked us to let him know if we didn’t.
