- Amazing experience in Banlung, 100% recommended
Nature & Wildlife Tours

Really great experience with the super cute family of Kimi and Horng. We did 3 days 2 nights trekking, one night in the jungle by a waterfall, one night in a village. Kimi is an amazing tour guide, he knows everything about the nature, what tree to eat, what leaves, how to survive in the jungle, plus he is english speaker and really fun !! The third day we hung out at the school of the village, then Kimi and Horng welcomed us with open arms at their homestay (Tree Lodge Banlung) with a great view and organized a nice cooking class for us. So don’t hesitate, ask for Kimi and Horng when getting to Banlung, you will not be disappointed ;) Thank you again for everything. See more..
5.0 Green Jungle Trekking Tours (148 reviews)
- Amazing 3 Day Trek with Perfect Guides
River Rafting & Tubing • Eco Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Day Trips

Superb tour - we did the 3 day option and it was perfect. Quite heavy going as some trees had fallen, but they took made appropriate changes to the route to compensate for extra time lost. Sokal, Kanpa and Yin were perfect guides in every way from building shelters, to pointing out wildlife, to making bamboo coffee mugs at camp. There are also clever showers made of bamboo tubes at the camp sites at the end of each day - not the best part of the hike, but a sublime experience after the humidity of the jungle. Take good boots, strong bug spray and some loo roll! Food was plentiful and we never went hungry, even in a group of five. See more..

4.5 Dutchco Trekking Cambodia - Day Tour (35 reviews)
- Dutchco Trekking Cambodia - Kamong Speu
Hiking & Camping Tours

My 4 friends and I spent a total of 6 days in Kampong Speu. We were greeted with a friendly welcome by Rik and Phat and shown our colourful, trendy, beach hut styled dormitory where we would be staying for the duration of our stay. We volunteered at a primary school for three days, which I absolutely loved, where we engaged in playing games with the younger students outdoors in the morning and played word games and taught phrases to the older children who were in the English classes in the afternoon. I loved meeting all the children!! Unfortunately due to health issues I couldn't take part in the trekking part of our stay, however I was made very welcome in the village where I spoke to some of the locals and took a walk around various places in the village and was looked after very well at the volunteer house whilst my other 4 friends were trekking. Everyone was very friendly, nice and and extremely welcoming. A very good and different experience which i would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get involved. See more..

Excellent adventure with guides Pat and Jep! After a nice boat ride up the river we set out on our trek. While making our way through the jungle Pat and Jep stopped to explain the uses (medicinal, edible, etc.) of various plants we encountered. Camped out under the stars at an epic waterfall with a perfect honey hole for swimming! The food prepared by our guides was delicious, plentiful and of great quality.

- Fantastic 2D/1N trip to a waterfall! Highly recommend!
Temporarily closed - Closed until Dec 18, 2023 Eco Tours • Hiking & Camping Tours

My mom and I booked a trek after being so severely disappointed with the gibbon trek that we had done through Smiling Tours (located in Tree Top Eco-Lodge). We felt we needed a good experience before leaving Banlung, so we signed up with Banlung Nature Tours. Our guides went all out making sure we had a fabulous time. When there was no place to hang our hammocks right at the base of the waterfall, they created one! The food was also fantastic, and we loved drinking tea out of bamboo teacups, which our guides created for us right there! I highly recommend Banlung Nature Tours. Mr. Phom is an honest guy. We trusted him, and he really delivered on what he promised us. :) Thanks! See more..
