The following Jeep adventures are day tours that leave from Siem Reap, Cambodia. Siem Reap is famous for the Angkor Wat temples, but there is so much more to the country when you go beyond the temples and get out of the main tourist areas.

We spend our lives exploring the countryside and taking people beyond the temples, to areas that are local, unique and unspoilt from mass tourism. We are passionate about our tours and the local culture. When you’re in Siem Reap, join us on one of our Jeep adventures for a genuine Cambodian experience.

The tour will take you to the waterfall where you can swim in the pools under the falls.  We will visit the river that has 1000 carvings etched into the riverbed. The waters are regarded as holy. Jayavarman II bathed in the river and had the river diverted so that the rocks could be carved with thousands of fertility symbols.
