Top 4 Plantation Tours in Cambodia

1.Kampot Tour Pepper Plantation, Salt Field, Cave, Secret Lake

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 128 reviews · from $20Our pick

Start with hotel pickup in central Kampot and ride by tuk tuk through rice fields and dusty country roads. English-speaking guides such as Roy and Wandon lead you to salt fields, Phnom Chhngok Cave Temple, Brateak Krola Lake, and La Plantation, with pepper tasting and time for lunch.

“This trip was absolutely brilliant. It was really nice to get out into the countryside and to see how people live. To get to the temple cave we had to walk through a working crop farm and it was great to watch them at work. There are quite a few steps to get up to the cave itself, but it was the heat more than the amount of steps that made it challenging (I went in April which is the hottest time of the year). If you take this trip, I advise you to come back out of the cave via the steps, rather than going further into the caves…”

At La Plantation, you’ll tour a working spice farm, learn how Kampot pepper is grown, taste pepper and other spices, then enjoy a two-course Khmer lunch. The small group size, up to 12 people, keeps the visit personal, though the approach road can be bumpy.

“It was nice to see the pepper farm and spend a couple hours there. Lunch was quite nice and they did have a vegetarian selection. The drive to the farm was quite tough and it would have been helpful if Viator had pooled the group and drove us there together.”
