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.

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

半日深度之旅

近距離觀看洞里薩湖居民另一種生活型態的生活,水上的學校、寺院、住家,並且踏上他們村落的學校和寺院參觀,學生對於我們的來訪並不怕生,可能已經習慣外來者的參觀。Vichet 導遊很認真的導覽與講述背景,是個推薦的行程

Good guide

Vichet is a good guide. Vichet 很認真講解。除了去湖之外,也帶我們參觀當地水上居民的學校,熱情的幫我們拍照。 遇到兜售課本的當地人也跟我們說不需要買,讓我們不用有壓力。

Amazing trip to Tonle Sap

What an awesome morning. This was an insight into the real Cambodia - interesting, exiting and heartbreaking in equal measure. Lonh, our guide, was truly superb and really made the experience for us. Would recommend this trip to anyone with a spare day to spend in Siem Reap after visiting Angkor.

Half-day tour with guide Vichet

We had a fun half-day with Vichet who was very knowledgeable and kind. Vichet even brought us to a lotus farm and a shop that sells silk and silver products although it was not on the itinerary. Throughout the entire trip, he explained about everything and anything. We have learned a lot from it. We will definitely recommend him and this tour to our family and friends :-)
