Phnom Penh to Koh Rong: Private car & ferry transfer

Air-conditioned car meets speed ferry at the pier

A private transfer from Phnom Penh to Koh Rong Island combines a three-hour car ride to Sihanoukville with a 45-minute ferry crossing. The driver arrives at your hotel with a welcome sign, handles the Expressway fee, and delivers your ferry ticket at the port. Life vests and onboard assistance are provided for the boat journey.

The experience

The car portion starts with pickup at your Phnom Penh hotel 15 minutes before your chosen departure time. Your driver arrives with a welcome sign, and the air-conditioned vehicle carries you and your bags along the highway to Sihanoukville Ferry Pier: a journey of around three hours. The Sihanouk Ville Expressway fee is covered, so you don't stop to pay it yourself. Once at the port, your ferry ticket is ready and waiting.

The ferry itself is a speed boat crossing to Koh Rong or Koh Rong Sanloem Island. The journey takes 45 minutes under normal conditions, though weather or sea state can shift the timing. You'll wear a life vest, and onboard personnel are there if you need assistance. The return trip works the same way in reverse. Book your ferry tickets with at least a two-hour buffer before any bus or flight departure to account for weather delays without affecting your onward travel.
