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.

What an incredible day!

We had such an amazing trip trip today. Our tour guide Lonh actually made the day for us. We usually visit temples and towns on our own but we booked in for the guided half day tour with Lonh and we are both so happy that we did. We laughed all day and learnt so much which was more than I expected. High recommend a guided tour.

A great journey from Tonle Sap Lake

First of all, I'd like to thank to my tour guide Mr. Phearom. He is a perfect guide who brought me a unforgettable journey. He introduced a lot of background information and history about Cambodia. Also, he prepared a lot of interesting food for me like lotus seed and crocodile meat. Even though i didn't really see the sunset because of bad weather, I still got a lot of fun from this tour. He is definitely a wonderful tour guide in Cambodia.

Teuer

Für65 Dollar nur vielleicht 1Std auf`n fluß und in See hat der Bootsführer gleich wieder umgedreht. Nicht zuempfehlen.
