We Welcome Samdech Hun Manet, the Prime Minister of Cambodia on April 3rd, 2025 for the Grand Opening of the Kampot International Tourism Port.

Note: After going to the Islands, you can return to either Kampot or SihanoukVille. There’s no discount for booking a round trip.

More Notes: When you arrive at the Kampot Port, there’s a small stand on the Pier to get drinks and a bit of food. There’s a coffee shop and small mini-mart inside the port now.

When arriving at the Port from Kampot or the Islands, the free Wi-Fi password is at the entrance, when leaving, it’s at the exit… When arriving in Kampot from the Islands, there’s a bunch of Tuk Tuks (cart pulled by a motorcycle) waiting for you. Good for 3 people and a lot of bags crammed in. It’s $5 to go downtown, more for other destinations. If travelling alone, you can share!

The ship leaves Kampot at 8:30am. It has 90 seats. Very well could depart a little late.

Looks like 1.5 hours between Kampot and Koh Rong Samloem, 2 hours between Kampot and Koh Rong, and 3 hours between Koh Sdach Island and Kampot.

(Don’t believe all the incorrect timetables here. From Kampot, the boat first stops at one pier on Koh Rong Samloem and then to 2 piers on Koh Rong Island. Coming back to Kampot, the boat leaves from Koh Sdach to Koh Rong to Koh Rong Samloem. At least the prices are right.)

All ships arrive in Kampot at 3:30 in the afternoon. (or it’s probably bit later.) If you’re going from between Kampot and Koh Sdach, a smaller boat arrives and leaves from the Koh Rong Pier.

The “Kep” service listed above is discontinued.

The best part about having the Kampot Port here in Kampot, is that you can spend a few days in Kampot on your way to or from the Islands.

Maybe not as interesting as the New SihanoukVille, but possibly a lot more fun?!?

You can try calling a GRAB or PassApp (free apps for travel around town), but you’ll probably have to wait a while. You’ll save a dollar. Or you can try going to the front gate to see if there are any waiting.

Check with your hotel ahead of time and see if they can arrange transportation to or from the Port for you, either free or paid. Free is better.

The bigger hotels on the Kampot River might even send you in their own boat!

Possibility Delay
Please be aware that our schedule may experience delays due to weather conditions. We appreciate your understanding that any delays are a result of these factors and not a cause for complaint.
Don’t Complain. They won’t go if it’s not safe. Usually high wind or waves. July through October this happens the most. Happens a couple times a year. You may have to stay on the Islands or mainland an extra day or two.)

Prohibited Items: The following items are strictly prohibited onboard:

Dangerous, flammable, or explosive items
Firearms
Narcotics
Smuggled or illegal products

Foreigners will need to show your passport to get on the boat. No immigration, no questions or nothing. They just want to see it. Practice for when the international boats start. Same when you get off the boat in Kampot. No other port in Cambodia does this.

There’s a bathroom on the boat, but better to go on land.
(it’s small and there could be waves.)

They may ask you to wear a life jacket before departing. You can just take it off if you want after departing.

The front seats of the boat are quieter than the back.
Unless you’re sitting in the front of the boat in front of the captain.

Really no assigned seating.

If it’s safe, the boat captain will let you sit up on the front of the boat.
Very windy, but fun.

If it’s calm waters in the ocean, the ride is fun. You sail right next to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam. You’ll see several Cambodian Island as well. Ream National Park and SihanoukVille.

If there’s waves, it’s not so fun.

The “International” part of the Port’s name refers to future trips between Vietnam and Thailand. Maybe sometime soon.? Maybe?

Quick. Cheap. Fun!

Pack your bags… and get ready to go!

SEE YOU SOON!
