So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Know more about traveling from Kratie
The dolphins are found near Kampi, a stretch of the Mekong about 15 km (9 miles) north of Kratie town. Sightings are most reliable in the dry season when water levels drop and the dolphins gather in deeper pools. You take a short boat ride from the riverbank to reach the viewing area, where local boatmen know exactly where the small pods tend to surface. Early morning is generally the best time for sightings when the water is calm. Your Daytrip driver can bring you directly to the Kampi launch point as part of your day.
Travel time and distance depend on your departure point. From Phnom Penh, Kratie is approximately 350 km (217 miles), typically a 5 to 6 hour drive. From Siem Reap, the journey covers around 450 km (280 miles) and takes roughly 7 to 8 hours. Roads in this part of Cambodia have improved significantly in recent years, making the drive more comfortable than in the past, though a private transfer remains the most flexible and stress-free way to make the trip on your own schedule.
A focused day gives you enough time to cover the essentials. Plan for the dolphin viewing at Kampi, a ferry trip to Koh Trong island, and a walk through the colonial town center. If you depart early from your origin, you can comfortably fit all three in before heading back. Travelers coming from farther away, like Phnom Penh, may find that a longer or overnight itinerary allows for a more relaxed pace, but a well-planned day trip absolutely works for those who want to keep moving.
Kratie rewards slow exploration. Koh Trong is a quiet island in the middle of the Mekong, reachable by a short ferry crossing, where you can cycle through farmland and villages with almost no other tourists around. In town, the Wat Roka Kandal pagoda is a beautifully restored 19th-century temple worth visiting. The riverfront promenade is lined with crumbling French colonial shophouses that make for great photography and a leisurely walk. The local market is also worth a stop for Cambodian snacks and a glimpse of everyday life.
Kratie is one of Southeast Asia's most rewarding off-the-beaten-path destinations, sitting along a beautiful stretch of the Mekong River in northeastern Cambodia. The town is best known as one of the last places on earth where you can spot the rare and endangered Irrawaddy dolphins in the wild. Beyond the dolphins, Kratie has a well-preserved colonial French architecture, a relaxed riverside atmosphere, and a genuine sense of local life that bigger tourist destinations have long lost. If you want to experience authentic Cambodia away from the crowds, Kratie delivers.
Kratie is not easily served by direct public transport from most tourist hubs, and bus routes often involve long waits, transfers, or fixed timetables that eat into your sightseeing time. A private transfer with Daytrip puts you in a comfortable vehicle with a professional local driver who knows the roads, and you can stop along the way at points of interest without being locked into a group schedule. It is also the only option that gets you door-to-door, directly from your accommodation to wherever you want to go in Kratie, with no luggage hassle or navigation stress.
