The ideal time to visit Koh Rong Island in Sihanoukville, Cambodia is during the dry season, which typically runs from November through April. During these months, visitors can expect beautiful weather characterized by clear skies, warm temperatures, and minimal rainfall. The drier conditions make it perfect for enjoying the island's numerous outdoor activities such as snorkeling, diving, and exploring the lush jungle terrain. With sea conditions calm and visibility at its best, underwater adventures are particularly rewarding. Moreover, the dry season is also the peak tourist season, so be prepared for a more bustling atmosphere and a vibrant nightlife.
However, those seeking a quieter experience might consider visiting at the tail end of the dry season in April, or at the start of the wet season in May. During this time, the island begins to quiet down, and accommodation prices tend to be lower. While the wet season, extending from May to October, brings heavier rainfall and rougher sea conditions, it can offer a unique tropical experience. The rains often come in short bursts, leaving plenty of sunshine for visitors to enjoy the lush, green surroundings that the wet season brings. Do take note that some island services and accommodations may be reduced or closed during this period, and boat schedules can be less reliable due to variable weather.
