Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island)
កោះទន្សាយ
A small island about 30 minutes by boat off Kep, with coconut palms, hammocks, and simple bamboo huts. It is ideal for escaping the crowds and taking a day to unwind.
Koh Tonsay, or Rabbit Island, takes its name from its shape, which resembles a rabbit. It lies about 4 km from Kep pier and is 20 to 30 minutes by small boat. The island is home to only a few fishing families. Along the main beach stand simple stilted bamboo and wood huts, hammocks, and seafood eateries. There is no reliable electricity or internet, so it feels remote and very quiet. Visitors can swim at the beach, eat grilled fish and crab, or walk the island's paths for about 2 hours. You can stay overnight in very basic bamboo huts, which suits travelers who want a true 'off the grid' experience. Boat tickets usually include the return trip, but you need to agree on the return time with the boatman. The last return boat generally leaves in the afternoon. If you miss it, you will have to stay on the island overnight.
