Nine days eight nights all-inclusive land only
Mum and child $3900, extra child $1000
Cambodia is such a special country, and I think it’s the perfect place to connect, bond and create shared memories with your children while exposing them to a beautiful culture, nature and history. I absolutely love Cambodia and I’ve designed this all-inclusive trip to give you a holiday with your kids where you don’t have to do anything but spend time with them. I want to make sure we all have incredible memories of time spent with our children before they run off to create their own. This holiday will fill your cup and leave you with a happy heart.
Cambodia is the land of wonder, a country with a fascinating ancient heritage and a modern history so rich in art, music and architecture it was known as the Pearl of the Orient. The genocide brought upon the Khmer people by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 was devastating for the Khmer people who are rebuilding even now. Against this backdrop of destruction and heartbreak, you will find the biggest hearts and smiles and create a lifelong connection.
In Siem Reap we will explore the the temples of Angkor, watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat and explore other temples including Ta Prohm and Bayon.
We will explore the gorgeous waterfalls of Kulen Mountain and visit the 1000 Linga River and Golden Buddha. We will eat local food, explore pagodas and have a spot of putt putt golf at a local family’s hand made course. If you like, you can join me in donating blood at the Cambodia Children’s Hospital.
We will cruise on the gorgeous Tonle Sap and see the stilted river houses, visit the incredible Hero Rat museum, meet a local artist and create our own artwork and support the disadvantaged youth who perform in the Phare Circus.
We will do a pottery class and bring our pottery home, and head out to a little water park for some fun going down the slides.
We will visit the beautiful lotus farm and learn about how this social enterprise supports local women by creating sustainable products that use all of the lotus flower, stem and seeds, and we will make paper, bracelets and incense from the lotus plant. We will join locals in their canoes and paddle through the lotus flowers. It’s so beautiful.
And we will zipline through Angkor! How amazing and so much fun!
We will have a night of karaoke, eat at fabulous local restaurants including Haven, a training restaurant for local youth, and wander the riverside
You’ll have time to explore and relax, and will enjoy a holiday experience abundant in culture, connection and experience.
The mum and kids trip is from Thursday 16 – Friday 24 January 2025.
I suggest arriving a day or two earlier if you can to adjust to the timezone and get over any travel tiredness!
Once you land in Cambodia almost everything is included:
We are staying at the beautiful Khmer House Hotel in Siem Reap with its gorgeous rooms and beautiful swimming pools. I love this hotel, it’s just stunning and the staff are lovely – the food is amazing too.
Our trips are land only so you will need to book return flights Siem Reap. You can search for the best prices on Skyscanner or go direct to airlines.
While we’ve left the flight bookings to you, you must arrive in Siem Reap before the tour starts – just let me know your arrival time so I can arrange your transfer. You’ll depart from Siem Reap – an afternoon flight is best if possible, or you might wish to stay longer! Let me know and I can extend your room.
From Australia you can fly with Air Asia, Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Thai Airways and many others, and from other countries there should also be many options as you will fly through one of the major hubs like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok or Singapore. I suggest looking on Skyscanner for the cheapest options and then checking on the airlines website. I’m happy to help with flights.
This is a trip for mums and kids! The best age is 6+

I recommend Cover-More insurance – I’ve used them since 1997 when I first went backpacking and they’ve always been amazing with help and quickly paying claims. You can use any insurance company you like – just make sure you read the PDS and make sure you’re well covered.
