Day 2 Phnom Penh Cycling Tour

Once you’ve finished breakfast, you will depart via ferry to Koh Dach Island for a cycling excursion. Ride along the dirt paths of the island, noting thatch-roofed houses on the shore and small pagodas all around. It’s a peaceful respite from the chaotic Phnom Penh. Have lunch at a traditional stilt house, then hop back on a boat to return to the city.
Back in Phnom Penh, get ready for an afternoon of sightseeing on foot. Highlights include the National Museum with ancient Khmer artifacts and the Royal Palace that used to be the home of the King of Cambodia. Stroll through the sensational Phnom Penh Central Market to browse for souvenirs, and when you’ve shopped till you dropped, return to the hotel for the night.
