Kep Tourism Port and the Boats to Rabbit Island

What the port is, and what it is not

Do not expect a ferry terminal. The port has limited facilities and exists mainly to serve small tourist boats heading out to Rabbit Island and the other islands of the Kep Archipelago.

There are no scheduled sea links between Kep and mainland Cambodia, so the harbour is not part of any coastal transport network. People come here for the islands, and the quiet that comes with that.

Getting to the port from Kep town

A scenic road runs along the coast from Kep town to the port, which makes the approach simple. You can walk it, or take a short taxi ride if you prefer not to.

The map link on this page will pinpoint the harbour. It is worth checking before you set off, particularly if you are arriving by taxi and want to be dropped in the right place.

Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay)

Rabbit Island is the largest island in the Kep Archipelago and only a short boat ride from the port. Boats run regularly, so reaching it is not usually a problem.

• Places to stay: bungalows, guesthouses and resorts, covering a range of budgets and tastes.
• Beaches: pale sand and clear water, suited to swimming, snorkelling or just lying around.
• Boat service: frequent departures from the port make a day trip or an overnight stay straightforward.

Who it suits

The port and island appeal to travellers who would rather have a calm stretch of coast than a busy resort. The limited infrastructure is part of the point. If you want somewhere low-key to spend a day on the water or a night in a beach bungalow, this is the place to start from.
