      Fantastic morning out!
      What a morning out, I can't believe this isn't more well known about in kampot! We are outdoors people and although we love culture this was the perfect break for us whilst still enjoying the views. The whole trip was super enjoyable and as challenging as you wanted to make it. The rock climbing at the end was pretty hard but the guides were super helpful and patient with no time limits or number of gos. A fun relaxing trip which I would highly recommend to anyone. It is relatively shading but I would still recommend sunscreen if the weather is good!

      Great climbing experience!
      We really enjoyed our morning climbing, abseiling and caving with Seyha and his team. The booking process was easy and communication was great. The team was very cheerful and friendly and spoke great English. They took lots of photographs throughout the tour. It is mostly shady and cool which is nice too. Water was supplied. They were great views from the top. We felt safe and well looked after throughout! Thanks for a great morning!

      Great climbing experience
      Amazing climbing experience. I took the mix climbing offer and was able to do some top rope climbing first and then lead. There are a great variety of climbs, both inside and outside the cave for all levels. Once at the top, the view is stunning. The instructors are fun and great, I always felt safe and well guided to tackle the toughest part.

      Epic discovery tour
      I did the discovery tour with Seyha and Song and these guys did an amazing job showing me the ropes (literally)! It was absolutely an epic morning and the highlight of Kampot in my experience. The guys shows me some really fun and tough climbs and lots of laughs of course. Can’t recommend this enough for any aspiring or experienced climbers.

      Mix tour was amazing!
      My partner and I did the mix tour. Climbodia arranged a tuktuk to pick us up and drive us to the caves. When we arrived, everything was set up for us to climb. The guides know what they are doing and have fun with you along the day. We mostly climbed, inside and outside the caves, but also did a short exploring tour inside, which was very fascinating to see. They were bolting 2 new routes, which we were unfortunately too early to try out. Everything is safe to climb and the stone does not cut (too much). Very fun activity for couples, family and/or friends, since there are also other tours for absolute beginners. Overall a great experience, will highly recommend. Thank you!

      Our 3 x children loved this mornings climb!
      Great morning doing the Khmer Tour with my 5yo, 7yo and nearly 9yo. All the guides were friendly, happy and engaging pointing out sections of caves, sights and history to the caves as we went. Highly recommend if you have children (and adults) who enjoy doing things and being hands on 🙌

      Best rock climbing experience
      Amazing experience for our first time rock climbing outdoors. The instructors were so motivating and made us feel at ease from the very beginning meaning we completed some of the hardest climbs we have ever done. It’s fair to say it zapped all the energy out of us but it was one of the best days at the mountain. What an adventure. Definitely worth the money.

      THE best adventure !!
      Their Discovery tour was truly 5 star: fun, varied, with really caring and yet funny and friendly guides. They were patient and supportive and showed us not only some beautiful caves but also a taste of rock climbing. I'd do this again any day!!

      I really enjoyed the Rock Climbing. The people of Climbodia are very nice and it was cool, to challenge yourself. The spot of the Rock is very calm and relaxed.

      Challenging but enjoyable guided tour!
      Climbodia has excellent guides who were very attentive and careful with us. They were fantastic! The approach to the mountain was also quite easy, you get dropped off at the road and take a short paved walk to the mountain. The routes were great and the rock formations were very friendly to climb!

    Firstly the guides were fun and liked to have a laugh with lots of energy. The climbing was good. The caving and via Ferrata was nice but If you have any level of physical capability you don’t need harness etc.... so not as exciting itinerary as we hoped for. There was even other guides/tuk tuk drivers walking families through half the cave. The cost was $40usd pp which we thought was ridiculous for this activity in the area, so ridiculously priced that we did not tip the guides which we normally would. I understand a business is for making money but the management needs to have a good hard look at this aspect. I know how much all the climbing gear etc costs and I can’t see the overheads for the company that can justify this, and it wasn’t so far different to many other caves and adventures we did in other parts of Asia for only a couple dollars. I can only hope the guides are getting paid well from it but I’m not sure.

    The team of Climbodia is very nice and serious. They know what they are doing. We felt totally safe all the time. We did the discovery tour and it was worth the money with caving, via Ferrara and two hours of rope climbing. Enough for depleating your energy.

    I LOVED this! I am a beginner and I absolutely LOVED these activities! It is perfectly matched for a beginner - doable, but you with a little kick of adrenaline and that Via Ferrata was amazing and hard! Your comfort zone gets pushed and feel the possibilities.. Booking was easy, with questions answered and it is excellent value for money. The guides are competent and you feel safe, in time I hope, they will be a bit more present and invested in the team, and not dissapearing off with their phones at every brake.
    Big recommendation from me!!

    Hi Nina, thanks for your wonderful feedback. The phones are indeed a struggle, I'll go over it again with the guides and make sure they only use them for taking pictures for the guests. Thanks again and happy travels! Kind regards, David.

    We did the discovery tour and it was so much fun! It was great value for the money, as it lasted for 4 hours but we were pooped after 2! We still made it through and enjoyed every minute of it. A lot of it was in shaded areas so that helped. The guides are great and I felt safe the whole time. There are boxes to lock any belongings you bring but someone seemed to be keeping an eye on them at all times. If I were ever back to the area, I’d definitely climb with Climbodia again.

    We spent an unforgettable morning doing via ferrata, caving and rock climbing in Kampot. The Climbodia climbing site is located approximately 6km from the city. There are routes for both beginners and more experienced climbers. From the top you can enjoy a beautiful view of Kampot village, Bokor park and the mountain, rock formations, caves to explore through tunnels and secret passages.

    The Climbodia guides are reassuring and scrupulous about safety. They are also good company, and will be eager to tell you about their passion for climbing and how Climbodia was born.

    On David's advice, we opted for the half-day program, where they provided us with the necessary equipment. Perhaps upon request it is possible to climb independently, but as we were traveling we didn't have the material with us.

    Don't leave Kampot without climbing first! You can book online or by calling David, who will help you arrange transportation to and from Kampot.

    Had such a great time at climbodia. The guides were great; supportive, safe and informative about the caves and nature around us. We were put through our paces but definitely manageable for a reasonable fitness level. At the end when you rock climb with the ropes you can choose your level and do as much climbing as you like within your ability.

    It was very warm so recommend cool clothing and a water bottle to keep refilling. Also recommend booking the driver through the company to take you l-as we had trouble trying to get a taxi there when organising ourselves.

    A must do in Kampot, if you only have a day here make sure you go to climbodia!

    We did the discovery tour as we don't have much climbing experience. This involved rope climbing, via ferrata, abseiling, exploring caves and finally more via ferrata. It was great fun and all very doable despite our lack of prior experience. The guides were very helpful and funny. Only negative was the tuktuk price, we organised collection from our hostel (near Kampot) through Climbodia, it ended up costing $15 for a return journey for 3 people, the price one way on grab was about $3 so we ended up paying over double the cost. I'd recommend getting the address and making your own way there instead.

    Did the half day discovery tour and loved it. A great mix of climbing, abseiling and via ferrata and good value for money - we were only two people and were pretty exhausted after the four hours! Friendly and knowledgeable instructors. We had done a bit of climbing before but not much.

    We travelled there by scooter - if you do the same then leave plenty of time as the road wasn't great and we arrived quite late. The guys were very flexible though.

    We did the discovery tour, which was really great for us! I had seen a lot of review saying it was "good for beginners" and wasn't sure whether it would be well suited for somebody who had climbed a fair bit in the past, but I didn't need to worry! The warmup climb, via ferrata, abseiling, and caving were all quite straightforward but exciting and sightly unusual experiences. After that we had time to try a variety of toprope climbing routes, some that we managed fine and plenty which were a real challenge or totally beyond us. The guides were friendly and attentive and helped out with suggestions when we struggled with the climbs. I'd highly recommend this tour for anybody who wants a taster of various activities, even if they aren't a new to rock climbing.

    Two of us did the discovery package which had a great mix of things. Really cool caves and via ferrata and then finished with some top rope climbing. Great climbing for a first timer and a slightly more experienced climber. Routes for 4b up to past 7a. Guides were great and really helpful and friendly, 4 hours is plenty of time and everything felt very safe.
