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.

Very Interesting Tour

I enjoyed this tour, the guide was delightful. The boat ride took us past some really interesting homes, they locals were friendly and the children at the school were so engaging. "What's your favourite colour" and "how old are you" popular questions they asked. Worth doing for sure.

Best tour ever!????

We loved this tour because of our guide Sela. He was very knowledgeable, interesting and his English was very good. Good to see the floating village and be able to be rowed through the trees by a local lady.

Floating Village Tour with our guide Chet

We had a totally fascinating afternoon with our excellent tour guide Chet floating around the village. I've never experienced anywhere quite like it before. We also opted for the canoe ride through the mangroves which was stunning. All in all a not to be missed experience when you visit Siem Reap. Tim
