★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,434 reviews · from $48Our pick

Spend 8 to 9 hours exploring Phnom Kulen with a small group of up to 14.

“A lovely tour seeing some interesting places but the highlight was the beautiful falls. Ra was an excellent tour guide and we all had a lovely day. Overall it was a little expensive given this 1 day Tour cost more than our 2 day Angkor Temples Tour? Still worth doing if you have the time.”
