Depart Phnom Penh with your private transfer towards the Cardamom Region. The drive will pass through the Cambodia countryside where you will get glimpse of rural life. Stop for lunch along the way in a local village.

Upon arrival at Koh Kong, take a shared boat transfer to your resort which is one of the most unique and exclusive Cambodia hotels in the area. At Canvas & Orchids Retreat, spend days exploring the pristine waters and forests at the foot of the Kravanh and Cardamom Mountains, and evenings relaxing in a serene floating bungalow on the Tatai river. The floating tents are tranquil, over water rooms and are the first of their kind. A must-see destination, for anyone who loves to fully immerse themselves in nature, while still maintaining the ease of a luxury vacation.

After a relaxed breakfast, you will head off from camp to experience the natural splendours in the area. Depending on the tide, you will cruise deep into the mangroves to experience a rare glimpse of life among the fishing communities that live off the natural bounty of this watery paradise.

Drinks and lunch will be served en route as you glide down the waterway to a fishing village, where you will spend time with the friendly locals. While the men tend their boats, the womenfolk patiently mend their nets whilst children play tag and football in the narrow alleyways between the stilt houses. Depending on the season it will be possible to stop on a beach on a sand barge that surfaces upon the low tide, close to the mangrove forests.

Back on the boat, you will experience the pure magic of life among the mangroves from kayaks before heading back to camp. It will also be possible to visit the small village of Koh Andet, located next to the resort which has a pagoda and a small school.
