Small in Size. Big on Adventure. Choose a date that suits you....all year round
Overview
Looking for adventure on your own schedule and can't make our group departures? This is your chance to take the wheel and explore the real Cambodia , one Tuk-Tuk at a time. This brand-new private adventure lets you set off whenever suits you — no fixed dates, no big convoys — just pure freedom, supported by our team behind the scenes.

Along the way, you’ll stay in a mix of boutique hotels and family-run homestays that directly support local communities.
Highlights
Private Group Freedom
This is the sister version of our original Cambodia Tuk-Tuk Adventure but you get to choose your own dates and drive with your own crew. Perfect for solo travelers, friends, families, or small groups. Make your reservation with us and at the checkout select your preferred start date.
Adventure is a given!
Our Tuk-Tuk Shorts are about new experiences, cultural immersion but mainly about having fun – the adventure type of fun. You will stay in a mix of our hand-picked 4* hotels and local homestays.
Challenges
You will receive daily challenges that include cultural quests, culniary missions and off-the-beaten-path photo hunts, all designed to deepen your journey and keep things playful. Questions you will be forced to ask yourself during the Adventure include: Who’s going to go and get a photo of that crocodile? Who’s going to get us invited to a local’s place for lunch? What day is it? And where did I put my Imodium? One hell of an amazing time is guaranteed.

DAY 1
Siem Reap
Arrival Day - Training
After landing in Siem Reap, your morning is yours to settle in, wander the neighbourhoods, or simply recover from the journey. In the afternoon, things get exciting: you’ll meet your support team and head to the Tuk-Tuk training grounds for your first hands-on session. Expect a friendly briefing, practical driving time, and plenty of laughs as you get to know your three-wheeled companion.
This evening, enjoy a delicious Khmer welcome dinner — the perfect way to ease into Cambodia’s flavour's and the adventure ahead.
📍 Lotus Blanc Resort – Siem Reap
DAY 2
Siem Reap - Angkor Wat
Today is dedicated to exploring the world-famous temples of Angkor — and there’s no better way to do it than by Tuk-Tuk.
Follow shaded jungle paths and sandy temple trails as you discover the icons:
Angkor Wat, Cambodia’s crown jewel
Bayon, with its enigmatic carved faces
Ta Prohm, entwined with giant roots and jungle atmosphere
It’s a day rich in history, stories, and photo stops around every corner.
After returning to your hotel for a well-earned rest, enjoy dinner in Siem Reap and reflect on your first full day of Cambodian wonders.
📍 Lotus Blanc Resort – Siem Reap
DAY 3
Beng Mealea
Approx. distance: 110 km
Your first real driving day — and the moment your adventure truly begins.
Hit the open road as you steer your Tuk-Tuk through rural Cambodia: rice paddies, palm-lined tracks, and villages where life moves to the rhythm of the sun. Your main stop is Beng Mealea, a sprawling jungle-wrapped temple where collapsed galleries and mossy stone corridors make for a cinematic experience.
This evening, you’ll stay at a traditional Cambodian homestay — a wooden village house run by local families. It’s rustic, authentic, and a meaningful way to support the community. Expect a warm welcome and a delicious home-cooked dinner.
📍 Beng Mealea Homestay – Village Community Stay
DAY 4
Kampong Kleang
Approx. distance: 60 km
After breakfast, continue your journey through the Cambodian countryside. Today’s route is dotted with small schools, farm villages, and wide smiles — children often run out to wave as you pass by in your Tuk-Tuk.
By afternoon, you’ll arrive in Kampong Kleang, one of the most extraordinary stilted villages on the Tonle Sap Lake. Homes tower above the water during the wet season and sit high on stilts during the dry — a striking and unforgettable sight.
Settle into your floating village homestay, meet your host family, and enjoy a beautifully prepared Khmer dinner. This stay offers an intimate glimpse into lake life — cultural, immersive, and truly special.
📍 Kampong Kleang Floating Village Homestay
DAY 5
Siem Reap
Approx. distance: 80 km
Wake to the rhythm of lake life — fishermen loading their boats, families starting their day, and the soft glow of sunrise over the water.
After breakfast, point your Tuk-Tuk back toward Siem Reap for your final stretch on the road. Expect a scenic, relaxed drive through rural communities, with plenty of moments that remind you how far you’ve come since your first training session.
Back in town, unwind at your resort before meeting the group for a Farewell Dinner — a celebration of stories, teamwork, and the unforgettable experiences shared along Cambodia’s backroads.
📍 Lotus Blanc Resort – Siem Reap
DAY 6
Departure Day
Your journey may be coming to an end, but the memories — and dust — will stay with you a little longer.
Take the morning to relax, enjoy a final Khmer coffee, or explore Siem Reap before heading onward. Whether you're flying home, continuing across Cambodia, or venturing further into Southeast Asia, we’re here to help coordinate any onward plans.
We hope to see you on another Tuk-Tuk soon.

Cambodia
Why is it so amazing?
Short answer: come and find out for yourself. Long answer: it’s like the country that South East Asia left behind. While Thailand and (to an extent) Vietnam are heaving with Bintang-singlet-wearing tourists, Cambodia has a way more laidback feel. Kind of like those countries 20 years ago. The history is also a big drawcard – not only do you have Khmer relics dotted through the jungle like the UNESCO wonder Angkor Wat, you’ve also got the tragic late 20th-century genocide, which still leaves its mark on Cambodian life. Basically: Phuket this is not.
Trip Tips
In the unfortunate event of a breakdown
Tuk-Tuks are unique vehicles that require careful handling and maintenance. While our team works tirelessly to ensure the safety and reliability of our fleet, it´s important to note that Tuk-Tuks are delicate machines that can experience mechanical issues or breakdowns due to improper handling or poor road conditions. We take great pride in providing our customers with an authentic and adventurous travel experience, and part of that experience is accepting the risks and challenges that come with driving a Tuk-Tuk. In the event that a Tuk-Tuk does experience mechanical issues you will have a mechanic on call and, depending on the nature of the breakdown, it may be the responsibility of the driver to repair the vehicle at their own expense. We understand that this may be an inconvenience, but we believe it is a fair price to pay for the thrill and excitement of Tuk-Tuk travel. So, if you´re ready to embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure, just remember to drive carefully, follow our safety guidelines, and embrace the challenges that come with this unique mode of transportation. After all, it´s all part of the adventure!

The Route
FAQs
Do I need any previous driving experience to drive a Tuk-Tuk?
No previous experience is required. We provide a full training session on Day 1, including hands-on driving practice and safety briefing. If you can drive a car and follow simple instructions, you can drive a tuk-tuk.
Is the Tuk-Tuk difficult to drive?
Not at all. Tuk-Tuks are lightweight, low-speed vehicles designed for easy handling. After a bit of practice, most travellers feel confident within 30 minutes. Our mechanic accompany you every day for ongoing support.
What is the accommodation like at the homestays?
Our homestays in Beng Mealea and Kampong Kleang are traditional Khmer houses run by local families. They’re simple, clean, safe, and community-focused — expect basic rooms, shared facilities, delicious home-cooked meals, and a warm welcome. These stays immerse you in real Cambodian life while directly supporting the host families.
How many people share a Tuk-Tuk?
This depends on who you are travelling with. Each Tuk-Tuk can have 1, 2 or 3 people, forming a “team.” You can swap driving as often as you like.
What type of support do we have during the trip?
You’re fully supported every day. A local Tuk-Tuk mechanic travel close by. When there are 2+ teams a support minivan follows behind to take your luggage. Their job is to assist with navigation, roadside issues, language barriers, and anything else you need.
What meals are included?
Breakfast and dinner are included each day. Lunches are not included to give you flexibility — there are plenty of great local spots along the route, and our guide is always happy to recommend favourites.
What kind of roads will we be driving on?
Expect a mix of quiet rural roads, countryside tracks, village lanes, and smooth tarmac. The route is designed for beginner drivers and focuses on low-traffic areas, scenic backroads, and culturally rich landscapes.
