How to Get From Koh Rong Samloem to Koh Rong

Koh Rong Samloem and Koh Rong are sister islands, so not surprisingly, they are located right next to each other.

When travelling from Koh Rong Samloem to Koh Rong, you can catch a ferry with GTVC Speedboat, Chan Moly Roth Transportation and Romny Tour Express Ferry. A one-way journey costs about $7 (28,500 KHR), and the journey takes around 15m - 1h 15m when the weather is favourable.

Departure and arrival ports

Ferries from Koh Rong Samloem depart from several piers around the island. You can usually catch a ferry from M-Pai Bay, Sandy Beach, Eden Pier, Rumi Pier, or Soon Noeng Pier.

On Koh Rong, ferries normally arrive at Koh Rong Community Pier (Koh Toch Beach), Long Set Pier (Long Set Beach), or Koh Rong Hill Port. All three are on the island’s southeast coast, but they’re a short ride apart. It’s worth double-checking your arrival pier in advance.

 TIP: Before booking, double-check the exact departure and arrival ports. This helps you choose the pier closest to your accommodation and makes your transfer much smoother.

The slow boat, often called the supply boat, is the cheapest way to travel from Koh Rong Samloem to Koh Rong. A ferry ticket costs just $5 (20,200 KHR), one-way.

It’s perfect if you’re travelling on a budget, but don’t expect much comfort. You’ll be sharing the space with locals, crates of food, and fresh water being delivered to the islands.

Supply boats often run once or twice a day between the islands. They usually depart from M-Pai Bay on Koh Rong Samloem in the morning at around 08:00, and return from Koh Rong Community Pier (Koh Toch Beach) on Koh Rong in the afternoon at around 16:00.

The journey takes around 1h - 1h 30m.

Keep in mind that departure times can often be different, and there’s no online booking for this service. It’s best to buy your ticket once you’re on Koh Rong Samloem, ideally the day before you plan to travel.
