Itinerary

Begin your adventure with pickup from your Siem Reap hotel for the roughly 45-minute journey to Kompong Phluk. Depending on the season, you’ll travel by minibus (February to July) or by minibus and boat (August to January). Transfer to a small boat and set sail along the lake, passing stilted houses and schools, floating markets, pagodas, and fishing boats as your guide tells you more about local life, customs, and traditions. 

Wet-season visitors can also opt to enjoy a traditional canoe ride around the flooded forests (for an additional expense) and experience the region’s unique ecosystem as you glide between the semi-submerged trees. 

Back in Siem Reap, your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

Education experience

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It Exposed kids to a very different way of life and we learned a lot from our Guide. If you have seen enough temples, this is a great alternative in Siem Reap

Highly recommend floating village tour

The tour was simply amazing, our tour guide Sophy was so knowledgeable and friendly, a pleasure to do the tour with. The scenery was incredibly humbling and I could not recommend Sophy enough for anyone wanting to take this tour.

Afternoon boat trip to floating village

Tour guide Sophy was very knowledgeable about the subject on hand and gave valuable information. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. Our Driver Mr Borey kept us safe, arrived on time to and from hotel. Brilliant afternoon out, seeing something that we don’t normally see.

Fascinating must do.

A great experience all round. Our guide was informative, flexible and friendly. He also shared personal and family stories which brought it all to life. The village is actually on stilts rather than afloat, but nonetheless fascinating - a glimpse into such a different way of life. We enjoyed an extra 30min boat trip in the forest paddled by a very skilled lady. definitely worth it.
