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.

Highly informative

Despite some early confusion with my name this turned out to be a great tour. Toneth was an outstanding guide, highly knowledgeable and a great communicator. His insights capped off a fascinating excursion to a truly remarkable community. The crocodiles were a surprise too.

This trip was great.. we spent time with the locals who lived in a jungle area and learned how they adjusted to the harsh conditions during the rainy season. Interacting with these people and touring in some remote areas, was a highlight of my trip. Our torn guide was awesome and so was our driver.

Interesting and impressive half day tour to Kompong Phluk

We where very happy that we did this tour and to see these amazing stilt houses. The rowing trip in the flooded wood was also great and we where happy to have our excellent guide Reaksa that learned us about Ton Le Sap and the life around it. We highly recommend this tour.

Impressive half-day trip to Tonle Sap Lake

After spending full day visiting the temples, we took the afternoon tour to Tonle Sap lake on the day after, hoping to see the sunset. This tour first took us to Kompong Phluk where we saw the life of villagers. There was small boat ride to mangrove forest, which is optional but highly recommended. We had a quick dinner at floating restaurant before watching the beautiful sunset. Thanks to our guide, Noy, who help making this trip a memorable one. หลังจากที่ใช้เวลาทั้งวันกับการชมปราสาทไปแล้ว ในวันถัดมาเราได้เลือกทัวร์ช่วงบ่ายไปโตนเลสาบหวังว่าจะได้ชมพระอาทิตย์ตกที่่นั่น ทัวร์นี้พาเราไปที่หมู่บ้าน Kompong Phluk ซึ่งทำให้เราได้เห็นชีวิตความเป็นอยู่ของชาวบ้าน เสร็จแล้วมีบริการเรือเล็กพาเข้าไปในป่าโกงกางด้วย แต่อันนี้เสียเงินเพิ่ม (ซึ่งจะไม่นั่งก็ได้) เราได้ทานมื้อเย็นที่ร้านอาหารลอยน้ำก่อนที่เรือจะพาไปชมพระอาทิตย์ตกน้ำที่งดงามมาก ขอขอบคุณไกด์ Mr.Noy ที่ช่วยให้การเดินทางครั้งนี้น่าจดจำครับ

A ride along the canals to the largest lake in SE Asia with a canoe ride through a mangrove forest and a short visit to a village thrown in. Overall highly enjoyable. Can provide a refreshing break after days of tiring temple hopping.

Fantastic Tour to the Tonle Sap Lake!

We had one day left after temple visiting and so we decided to see something more from this beautiful country than only angkor. The tour to Kompong Phluk was just excellent, exciting and very interesting! I can really recommend it and it’s very worth to see some more than only the temples. I guess now i can imagine a bit more about the life in cambodia and i’m interested to come back to this country to explore more, especially the countryside! Our guide Sarat told us many things about the life of the locals there and some other facts about cambodia. He and the driver Thnou make a great job! Thanks for this great afternoon!
