Hut in the Ream National Park. Ream National Park is a pristine maritime park just outside Sihanoukville. Notable for its mangrove forests, wildlife and pure stretches of white beach, the park itself is over 21,000 hectares big and includes two islands, Koh Thmei and Koh Ses. Drive to the park and explore the mangroves by boat whilst spotting various types of wildlife and birds. You will also be able to explore the lowland and dwarf evergreen forest as well as the beaches. On arrival at the park you will be shown a map of the various boat excursions available - several options are possible depending on your preference. Ream National Park is a vast, untouched area that includes a mangrove forest, two islands, isolated beaches and off-shore coral reefs, many of which you get to experience on this scenic nature tour. Your adventure starts when you meet your driver and guide at the port for the picturesque drive to the national park, which was established in 1991, and is home to 155 species of birds, as well as macaques, herons and cranes. On arrival at the park you'll enjoy an hour and a half cruise along the Prek Teuk Sap estuary, which is salty in the dry season and freshwater in the wet season. As you cruise along the mangrove forest, your guide will point out the storks that feed on the mudflats here, and you may also spot egrets, kingfishers, mouse deer (muntjac), pangolin (spiny anteaters), and sun bears. You will then dock at Thmor Thom village, which is home to only 50 villagers, whose main occupation is fishing. The children here will greet you warmly before you embark on the mile trek to Koh Sam Pouch, which boasts a gorgeous white sandy beach and is the ideal spot to relax in the sunshine. Here, you will enjoy a picnic lunch and maybe a swim in the sea before your guide leads you up Mediation Mountain.
