Saracen Bay to Koh Toch Beach by Long Tail Boats

It is also possible to hire a private longtail boat from one of the beaches in Koh Rong Samloem to Koh Toch Beach. Bear in mind that the costs will be significantly higher than a ferry. Also, prices tend to change as there is no standard fare.

If you’re travelling in a group, you can split the fares accordingly.

Do not expect high-quality boats as these long tail boats actually refer to traditional Khmer fishing boats.

That’s why you should always consider the weather before taking a trip with one of these boats. While a large ferry can resist most storms, it can be a different story with a small fishing boat.
