Koh Rong

  • At certain times of the year (low season particularly) the weather and wave conditions may mean that we are unable to use boats to access certain parts of Koh Rong islands.

This may also apply to the conditions for camping and hammock stays, we may have to adapt the tour to include village homestays or accommodation on other beaches around the island.
