For younger families, we tend to slow the pace and avoid overly long travel days. Beach time, nature activities, and cultural visits are all made accessible and age-appropriate.
Cambodia Family Holiday Ideas
With remarkable riverboat journeys along the Mekong, untouched beaches, and jungle-clad temple ruins straight out of an adventure film (yep, really! Cambodia’s ancient sites starred in Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider), this is a family holiday destination with a difference.

“Most visitors rush through Angkor Wat at sunrise, but for a more peaceful experience, visit at sunset instead. The light is just as beautiful, and the crowds are far fewer, giving you space to take it all in.”

Family Holidays
In Our Travellers’ Words
The best family holiday we have ever been on
This holiday had everything. Great people, food, wildlife, beaches and scenery. Experience Travel Group were exceptional from planning stage to our return home. Holly created the perfect trip for our family.
Cambodian dream
Travelling with two children under 10, spending time at the temples and then on the beach. Experience Travel really listen to what you want as a family and do their very best to organise an itinerary that works. This is the second holiday we have booked with them and each one was great.
Extremely well organised Cambodia holiday
We flew to Siem Reap. Lucky enough to have Visal Phok there who was a superb tour guide. So many varied experiences there including Angkor Wat and sunrise on Tonle Sap Lake. Cardomom mountains - what a great place to chill but also to experience great value local trips such as sunset and a brilliant trip to the local village.
The Best Times to Go on a Family Holiday in Cambodia
Christmas & New Year: Swap grey skies for sunshine and end the year in a memorable way. Just bear in mind it’s peak season, so think ahead if you want first dibs on the best hotels.
February Half-Term: Ideal for a family getaway. Expect blue skies, warm temperatures, and fewer crowds than over Christmas.
Easter Holidays: We’d generally avoid this. April is Cambodia’s hottest month, so if your kids melt in the heat—or if temple visits will be met with dramatic sighs—it might not be the best bet.
Summer Holidays: May to September is Cambodia’s “green season,” when tropical rains bring the landscapes back to life. It’s quieter, hotel rates are lower, and the scenery is at its prettiest. If you’re after a beach holiday, we recommend neighbouring Thailand’s East Coast.
October Half-Term: A top choice for families. The rains ease off, the countryside stays wonderfully green, and it’s warm without being OTT. November is even better—high river levels make boat trips extra special.

A Note on Christmas
Yes, you can skip the whole thing. Trade cold turkey and Christmas telly for fresh crab on the coast, with island breezes and golden sunsets for company. But if you’re not quite ready to ditch the festive spirit, don’t worry. Cambodia’s best hotels know how to celebrate – think lantern-lit dinners, tropical trees, and special seasonal menus.
December’s end-of-year rush can feel overwhelming. But with your ETG consultant steering the ship, you’ll have time to breathe. Whether it’s sunrise over Angkor or unique gifts from Kampot’s markets, Cambodia might just be your most memorable Christmas yet.
