The taxi will pick you up from your hotel or airport and it takes around 5 hours to get to Poy Yopon.

From Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem

It can be a tricky thing moving from one island to another in Cambodia. The easiest way to get from Koh Rong/Koh Rong Samloem is to take the ferry back to Sihanoukville and then take a transport by road from there.

note the morning boat will get to Sihanoukville to late for public transportation, so if you choose this transport you will have to leave Koh Rong/Koh Rong Samloem  the previous day and stay the night in Sihanoukville.

There are no ferries from Koh rong/Koh Rong samloem to Koh Sdach.
But there are possibilities to hire a private boat. Prices from$150 and up depending on type of boat, weather, passengers, holidays and more.

It used to be possible to go to Koh Sdach by transport boat, but this boat does no longer run on a steady schedule, and it will be a gamble knowing if the boat will depart and when you will arrive. So we don’t recommend this transportation.
