Why Cambodia?
For us, Cambodia is more than a destination; it’s a profound commitment to a nation defined by its resilience, deep history, and vibrant, welcoming people. Our passionate, small team is focused solely on Cambodia, driven by a desire to contribute to its ongoing journey of recovery and growth. We recognise that Cambodia’s past has forged a remarkable strength, which we see daily in the local communities that host our tours.
We are a company founded by two dedicated expats with a combined 14 years of first-hand experience in Cambodia’s non-profit sector. This unique background allows us to bring an unparalleled understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Cambodian communities directly to your travel experience.
For several years, we have been curating high-impact, multi-day social impact tours and charity events. This deep foundation allows us to do things differently: we invest heavily in our local team, actively raise funds for ethical causes that directly address community needs, and maintain strict safeguarding protocols. After establishing a reputation for meaningful multi-day adventures, we are excited to expand our offerings to include day tours, providing even more opportunities to connect with the heart of Cambodia and its people.
We believe that even small actions create powerful ripples. Our goal is to contribute to a brighter, more sustainable future for Cambodia, one authentic, meaningful experience at a time.

I really loved the way they brought us by tuk tuk out to the countryside — it not only saved our energy but also gave us the chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful views before starting the ride. The cycling route itself was amazing, with every stop offering something new and meaningful. I especially appreciated learning about Ripple Effect Rides’s community partners and how they are working together to help reduce poverty in the community. It made the ride feel purposeful as well as fun. The team is very professional and caring. They gave us clear, detailed instructions on how to use the bikes safely in all types of road situations, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the ride. The small touches — like fruit, water refills, and photography — made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was more than just a bike ride — it was a chance to connect with local life, support a positive cause, and create lasting memories. I highly recommend Ripple Effect Rides to anyone visiting Siem Reap!Posted on Colleen OcafrainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
