Embark on a Ferry crossing

The Island Lifestyle
While visiting the island you will see how local people make their living from traditional business to agricultural farms and raising animals.
You will have a chance to meet some island residents with a brief stop at their house. Enjoy home-made fruit juice and learn about the island lifestyle.
Local Businesses
Visit a silk worm rearing business where silk worms are raised. The natural silk fibers produced are woven into incredibly luxurious and elegant items including purses, scarves, pillow cases, dresses and much more. You will see how they raise the silk worms, how they procure the silk and how they convert it into a very valuable material. You can also buy local hand made silk products (you might want to bring some shopping money).
Farming & Harvesting
Get an up close look at traditional Cambodian farming methods and practices. A wide variety of fruits, vegetables and grains are grown on the island including mango, “water chestnut” (lotus root) banana, rice, papaya and many more! If we are lucky, we will be able to taste some of the delicious fresh fruit being harvested.

When to come?
