Looking for authentic things to do in Kep, Cambodia? Escape the mainland and spend a day on Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay) — a peaceful paradise just a short boat ride away. Discover where to swim, eat, and relax on this untouched tropical island.
What to Do in Kep: A Peaceful Escape to Rabbit Island (Koh Tonsay)
When visitors ask us at Surya Kep Yoga what to do in Kep, our first suggestion is always the same: take a boat to Rabbit Island — locally known as Koh Tonsay.
This small island, just 25 minutes from the coast, is one of those rare places where time slows down, and nature takes over.us nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
How to Get There
You can reach Rabbit Island easily from Surya Kep, just a few minutes by tuk tuk. Boats leave several times a day (during the high season), and the short trip across the calm blue water already feels like a meditation.
As you approach the island, you’ll see palm trees swaying gently, simple wooden huts, and the warm smiles of local families waiting by the shore.
The Magic of Rabbit Island
Koh Tonsay is not about luxury — it’s about simplicity, authenticity, and connection with nature.
There are no cars, no noise, no rush — only the sound of the waves, the laughter of children, and the rhythm of the sea.
What You Can Do on Rabbit Island:
Relax on the beach: The water is warm and clear, perfect for swimming or floating under the sun.
Walk around the island: A gentle two-hour walk takes you through small fishing areas, coconut trees, and peaceful coves.
Taste the ocean: Try freshly grilled squid, crabs, or fish — cooked right in front of you by local families.
- Disconnect completely: There’s almost no internet on the island — and that’s exactly the point.
When to Visit
The best time to visit Rabbit Island is from November to May, during the dry season, when the sea is calm and the weather is bright. The island is open year-round, but during the rainy season, the atmosphere becomes even more serene — ideal for introspection and quiet walks.
Continue Your Relaxation at Surya Kep Yoga
After your day on the island, come back to Kep and continue your journey of peace and balance with us at Surya Kep Yoga.
