BRING CASH

Koh Rong Samloem is an island off the south coast of Cambodia. It’s located just southeast of the more heavily-visited Koh Rong island. To get out to Koh Rong Samloem, you’ll first need to get to Sihanoukville.

Getting to Sihanoukville

Buses run to Sihanoukville regularly from all major Cambodian cities (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Kampot) and from Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam
Some local budget airlines run flights to Sihanoukville. Check out Cambodia Angkor Air or Cambodia Bayon Airlines.

Getting from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong Samloem

To get out to the island you will need to take a ferry. There are several ferry companies operating out of Sihanoukville. Mad Monkey partners with Speed Ferry. We’re big fans of their reliable service and high safety standards.

You can purchase Speed Ferry tickets from every Mad Monkey Hostel in Cambodia for transport to Mad Monkey Koh Rong Samloem.  Make sure you purchase your Speed Ferry ticket at least 24 hours in advance to avoid disappointment as the boats tend to fill up.

The Final Leg of the Journey

The Speed Ferry will drop you off at one of Koh Rong Samloem’s major ports. The exact drop-off location is subject to change by season, but our Mad Monkey team always knows where the boat will be.
When you get off the Speed Ferry, Mad Monkey’s private boat (it’s orange with some pirate flags) will be waiting at the port to take all Mad Monkey guests the rest of the way to our private bay.
One of our Customer Experience Reps will be on the boat with you to answer any questions you may have, and get you excited for the epic time you’re about to have!
Free pick up from Orchid Pier at 10 am, 12:30 pm, and 4 pm OR when the Speed Ferry arrives. Departure from the pier may not be at these exact times, but rest assured our boat will be there.
If you have any questions about getting to Mad Monkey Koh Rong Samloem while you’re in Sihanoukville, you can visit our booking office, which is inside the Koh Rong Dive Centre & Speed Ferry Booking office on Serendipity Beach Road, next to Golden Lion Roundabout.
