We almost skipped it based on reviews that made it sound like a garbage dump with palm trees. In hindsight, I wish we had saved more time to spend there. Despite the usual trash you find in developing (and often in developed) countries, it was still a very pleasant excursion. My biggest complaint was that even when booking the $25 private boat, you still need to lock in a return time when you buy the ticket. I get that the boat needs to make other runs, but I wish there was a way to have a little more flexibility. And as others have mentioned, be ready to get wet when you transfer from the boat to the island, as it leaves you in a foot or two of water.

Relaxing day trip. Relatively clean of rubbish by local standards. Free hammocks and wooden beach recliners if you purchase a drink or lunch at the corresponding shop or restaurant. Local prices. Had a great massage for $8. Ferry over involves milling around at the end of the jetty then showing your ticket to the local guy in charge who will randomly assign you a boat. Confusing and disorganised so go with the flow. Rocking and wet trip back to mainland.

This was a good day trip if you have a spare day in Kep. The boat trip was fun, landed on what seems to be the only beach on Koh Tonsay, which is lined with beach bungalows and beach cafes.
Food was average, drinks fairly cheap at $0.75 a can where we were and cocktails for $2-3. I had a lovely massage listening to the sea.
The beach was cleanish for Cambodia but off the beach was full of rubbish. The pier and the island is being developed right now and although diggers were on the pier, we weren't disturbed by any noise.
It was fine for a day trip but we're glad we didn't decide to stay longer.

We did enjoy the journey to and from the island and did enjoy sitting on the beach however, this is described as an idyllic island but upon arrival the beach was littered with rubbish but move down the beach and it’s not so bad. During our stay young people playing in the sea were retrieving broken bottles from the sea. So be aware.
However it was a nice place to spend a few hours and the local families were very friendly, the food good and very reasonably priced. Beer was $1 for can. Some seats were free whilst others were $2 dollars unless you ate at a specific restaurant.
Toilets were basic. Take your own tissues and hand sanitiser.

Day trip here, cost 8 bucks per person for trip and return. Bargain. Clean beach, free chairs, lovely food and shop close by. Best swim I have had in ages. Did not see anything in the water to upset me, if you get my drift. Would go back again for sure. Lovely place.

I wasn't impressed. Maybe I just went at the wrong time, but it's nowhere near the picturesque place I saw in photos. It was windy, the boat was rocking wildly both ways, the water was dirty. The only consolation was the place where I lounged - the family who runs it is very nice. Both husband and wife did their best to make my day as pleasant as possible. The food at their restaurant was far better than I expected, and reasonably priced. A note: July is a chancy month because it's part of the rainy season.

The island is another option if you are in Kep and want to cross the sea in a nice day trip to the jungle.
The water is cleaner in the other side of the main beach (where the boat leaves you). So I recommend you not to stay only there and to go and explore the island. You will not able to walk so much as the road is in the middle of the jungle and surrounded by rocks and the sea instead.
There are also a few restaurants with local food and good prices to eat if drink something.

A lovely place to a day trip. Can hire a boat for $25 for 6 people. The island has a series of small bungalows with a cafe attached. Shrimp with kampot pepper highly recommended. Sadly the far side of the island is being developed and already you can see nature being replaced by horrible construction,

I took the day trip by Annys tours for 8usd there and back and pick up from hotel. Rabbit Island is well worth a day trip or a stay for a night or 2 although there's abit of trash as I had read. It would have been fun to stay and walk all the way around the island but I just explored abit of the island. There is a nice small beach with less people just abit around from the main beach. That's where I relaxed afew hours in peace with the world. Good restaurants to enjoy some lunch and my 8 dollar oil massage was amazing! Great day!

We went today with the intention of walking around the island. Here's a bit of information.
At present the time the path is very overgrown. It's clear that it hasn't been used in quite a while. At several places we didn't find the path and we wouldn't have been able to finish our adventure if it had been high tide, as we had to get out feet wet when the path was missing.
With a good machete our trip would have been a lot easier.
We spend 2 hours completing the walk. I won't recommend it to anyone before the path has been cleared.
Never the less we had an memorable experience.
Most of the time we didn't have any reception on our phones.

Yes, the shoreline has lovely old wide shaded trees all along it, many in front of the few cafes and restaurants or lodges, perfect for shaded lunches or just enjoying the view down the beach

Has anyone camped on Rabbit Island? Is it free to do, costs money, or prohibited?
Written November 20, 2018
YOu can rent a bungalow for around 8 to 10 USD a night. Careful there is no electricity there except a gen set running few hours after sunset. Not sure about Camping but you could choose to sleep on the beach if you are really into mosquitoes.

We were bitten but we took mosquito repellent with us

Book a boat there are lots. You will probably have to pre pay which will include mini bus pick up and drop off.
Make sure you get the boat number and boat drivers phone number before you get off the boat. You do not want to be stranded on the island overnight if your boat didn’t turn up for the pick up, normally 4pm.
We were lucky, another boat accepted us for the return journey.

Hello!
Does someone have some e-mailadresses (our websites) from people who rent a bungalow on Rabbit Island?

This might be a stupid question, but is there rabbits on Rabbit Island? Or is it just called Rabbit Island?
Written February 6, 2018
There are no rabbits. It is called rabbit island because of the shape of the island :)
