Sihanoukville & Airport (KOS) to Koh Rong: Ferry Port Guide (2026)

Last fact-checked: October 2026

Sihanoukville is the mainland launchpad for all boats to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Whether you are arriving at Sihanoukville International Airport (KOS), stepping off the train, or pulling in on an expressway van, knowing the exact ferry pier location and where to grab cash and supplies before boarding makes your transfer stress-free.

Where Ferries Depart: Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (Tourist Terminal)

All five high-speed ferry companies (GTVC Speedboat, Buva Sea, Speed Ferry Cambodia, Island Speed Ferry, and Romny Tour) depart from the Tourist Ferry Terminal inside Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (ท่าเรือสีหนุวิลล์ / កំពង់ផែស្វ័យតក្រុងព្រះសីហនុ), located at the northern end of Ekareach Street.

• Important Pier Note: Do not go to the old Ochheuteal (Serendipity) Pier—all passenger speed ferries now operate exclusively from the Autonomous Port Tourist Terminal.
• Port Entry & Facilities: Ticket booths for all 5 operators sit right outside the terminal gate alongside small cafes, convenience stores, and pharmacies. Arrive 30 minutes before departure to exchange your online voucher for a boarding pass and pier sticker.
• ATMs Near the Port: ABA Bank, Canadia Bank, and Acleda Bank ATMs are located along Ekareach Street within 5–10 minutes of the port—make sure to withdraw your USD cash here before boarding.
