Wat Leu, Villages, Market & Beach Barbecue

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Your excursion begins at the pier where you'll board your air-conditioned motorcoach for the drive to your first stop, the village school. En route, pass Victory Hill and Independence Square. Stop for a photo opportunity at the War Memorial, commemorating Cambodia's war dead.

Upon arrival at the school, you'll meet the children and observe the activities in the kindergarten where they spend their day while the parents work the fields. It's a delightful experience. (You may want to bring some small gifts to share with the children.)

Next, ascend Mt. Sihanouk to Wat Leu or the "upper temple." Situated on the mountaintop, Wat Leu offers panoramic views of the port, town and sea. Don't miss scenes from the life of Buddha inside the temple.

Afterwards, travel to beautiful Sihanoukville Beach Resort, Sihanoukville's most popular beach resort for approximately three hours of beach time. Swim or simply relax on the fine white sands of its private beach.

Enjoy a private barbeque lunch on the beach before re-boarding your motorcoach for the return route to the port and your cruise ship.

Special Notes:

Bring a swimming suit and adequate sun protection; towels, lounge chairs, changing facilities are all provided.

Local buses from Phnom Penh are used for tour transportation; quality and style will vary. Although air-conditioned, the standard is not the same as North Americans may be accustomed. Tour guides are generally drawn from Phnom Penh; they have limited English skills, but their local knowledge, willingness, friendliness, and enthusiasm deserves special merit.
