Most ferries stop at Koh Toch first. Confirm with your guesthouse which side to disembark at.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ferry: How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferries to Koh Rong depart from the Tourist Pier in Sihanoukville, also called Ochheuteal Pier. The two main operators are Speed Ferry Cambodia and Buva Sea Cambodia. Both run fast ferries (speedboats) with covered seating and luggage storage. The crossing takes around 45\u201360 minutes depending on sea conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ferry Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operators:<\/strong> Speed Ferry Cambodia, Buva Sea Cambodia<\/li>\n<li><strong>Departure point:<\/strong> Tourist Pier (Ochheuteal Pier), Sihanoukville<\/li>\n<li><strong>Journey time:<\/strong> 45\u201360 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10\u201315 USD one way<\/li>\n<li><strong>Typical departures:<\/strong> 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM (verify current schedule when booking)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/en\/travel\/Sihanoukville\/Koh-Rong\/?z=16173966&#038;sub_id=sihanoukville-koh-rong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; Search Sihanoukville \u2192 Koh Rong tickets on 12Go \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to the Tourist Pier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tourist Pier is located on the southern edge of Sihanoukville, near Ochheuteal Beach. From the main bus drop-off areas and guesthouses in town, a tuk-tuk to the pier costs around 2\u20134 USD and takes 10\u201320 minutes depending on where you\\&#8217;re coming from. Tuk-tuks and remorks are plentiful near the bus station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\\&#8217;ve arrived in Sihanoukville by bus and need to connect quickly to the ferry, allow at least 30\u201345 minutes of buffer time between your bus arrival and ferry departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Koh Rong: Koh Toch vs 4K Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ferry typically stops at two points on Koh Rong:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Koh Toch village (west coast):<\/strong> The main backpacker hub \u2014 bars, restaurants, dive shops, and most guesthouses. This is where the majority of visitors stay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4K Beach \/ Long Beach (east coast):<\/strong> Quieter, more remote, stunning long beach. Fewer facilities but better for those wanting to escape the crowds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ferry stops at Koh Toch first. If your accommodation is on 4K Beach, stay on board until the second stop \u2014 or confirm the route with the ferry operator when you board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cash only on Koh Rong:<\/strong> No ATMs on the island. Bring USD from Sihanoukville or Phnom Penh.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Luggage:<\/strong> Large bags go under the boat or in the hold. Secure valuables in your daypack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasickness:<\/strong> The crossing is usually calm, but in rough weather the speedboat can pitch. Take medication if you\\&#8217;re sensitive.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Last ferry:<\/strong> The last ferry back to Sihanoukville is typically around 3:00\u20134:00 PM. If you miss it, you\\&#8217;ll need to arrange a private speedboat (expensive) or wait until the next morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay on Koh Rong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koh Toch has the widest range of accommodation \u2014 from bamboo bungalows to mid-range beach resorts. 4K Beach has a handful of more secluded options. Book ahead for peak season (December\u2013February) when the island fills up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f3e8; <strong>[Travelpayouts widget: Hotels on Koh Rong via Booking.com or Agoda]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long is the ferry from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 45\u201360 minutes on the fast ferry in normal sea conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does the ferry to Koh Rong cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around $10\u201315 USD one way.
