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.

Can't miss this tour

Thanks to Boren today for a great tour! He and put driver picked up my friend and I as well as a couple to be part of this trip. What a great experience, Boren talked to us about Cambodian culture on our drive to the boat. The tour he gave an explanation about the community, culture, industry, and wildlife was excellent. It was a great way to see a completely different side of Cambodia. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Tour of Floating City with Phearom!

THIS TOUR IS AMAZING. Highly recommend for the following: - Tour guide was fantastic - We had Phearom as our tour guide, who was incredible educated, welcoming, fun and entertaining. His English was so impressive :) - Off the beaten path - This definitely was a non-tourist experience and gives you insight as to how locals truly live in Cambodia. Were some moments tough? 100% -- but makes you appreciate what you have.

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
