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.

The Community on Tonle Sap!

I really enjoyed the Floating Village Tour. Sothea is a charming and informative guide. We learned about the challenges humans face when choosing to live on the water. We also learned about their triumphs and role of women in the community. We were also taken to a unique location to view the sunset. I highly recommend this tour. Thank You so much!

Floating Village Tour

The floating village tour was the second tour that my partner and i went on. Our tour guide Cherry was very light hearted and knowledgeable and made the tour all the more enjoyable. The highlight was the guided boat tour through the village which allowed us to gain an insight into village life. Thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a unique and memorable experience.

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.
