Rabbit Island, Cambodia: Island Time (November 2013)


One of the things Kep has to offer is easy access to Rabbit Island, which is about 30 minutes by fishing boat. The island is very small, and the only area that’s accessible is a small beach with some bungalows and a few cafe type establishments. If you’re in the mood for a camp-like experience, Rabbit is the perfect place to spend the day relaxing on the beach, swimming in the warm sea and sleeping in a rustic bungalow. We weren’t sure if we wanted to spend the night so we prepared for both, bringing our daypacks just in case we were feeling adventurous. We spent the day doing exactly what you’re suppose to on Rabbit Island, sipping juices and beers while reading in a hammock on a peaceful beach.



We decided not to stay the night in order to catch the early bus the next morning for the long ride to Siem Reap. Next time I would love to stay the night on the island, but like many events this trip, there just wasn’t time. Although I find it hard to believe at times, everything happens for a reason. Taking that early morning bus to Siem Reap sat me next to someone who helped to inspire my whole trip, and it’s moments like that when you realize you are exactly where you’re suppose to be.
