Public speed ferry from Sihanoukville pier to Long Set/Koh Touch — book tickets in advance where possible; schedules change seasonally (mid‑morning to late afternoon runs).
Operator picks up from Long Set/Koh Touch at 1:00pm for an afternoon snorkel trip; confirm pickup point the day before. (If you prefer morning trips ask operators locally — many run both).
Boat visits 2–3 reef spots (hard & soft corals), then a beach stop with BBQ lunch — great for marine life viewing and a sunset beach break; typical tour hours 1:30pm–6:30pm.
If conditions are right, take a short boat check or ask your tour operator about a plankton spot; visibility is seasonal and weather‑dependent but very memorable.
Collect a hire scooter from your resort or the main rental spot — check helmet condition, fuel policy and local road conditions. Rentals usually start 8:00am onward.
Rent a kayak and paddle along the bay or to nearby small coves; kayaks are typically available by the hour (kayak crossings to secluded spots vary by tide/conditions).
Local operators run full‑day snorkel tours visiting offshore reefs and smaller islands; expect snorkeling, a beach stop and a beach BBQ lunch — morning departures typically 8:30am–1:00pm or 9:00am–2:00pm depending on operator. Book a day in advance.
Take a local boat (or kayak if you prefer) to Lazy Beach, then hike the 20–30 minutes through jungle to the viewpoint/cove — great for secluded swimming and photos. Access is day‑time only.
If you haven’t seen bioluminescent plankton yet, ask your host about a short night check — seasonal and weather-dependent but often visible in calm bays.
Tuk‑tuk to Phsar Leu Market to browse produce, handicrafts and street food — market hours typically early morning through late afternoon, with lunch stalls open midday.
Spend late afternoon swimming and walking on Independence or Otres Beach; facilities are limited but scenery is excellent for photos and sunset drinks.
Tuk‑tuk or taxi (~30–45 min) to Kbal Chhay waterfalls for a morning hike and swim — waterfall access is generally daytime (approx. 8:00am–5:00pm); bring swimwear and shoes.
Early breakfast, final packing and confirm your airport/port transfer time with the hotel; allow extra time if traffic or ferry/flight check-in is required.
