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.

Tour of Kompong Phluk village and Tonle Sap Lake

Great tour and excellent guide to get a glimpse of rural Cambodia, a village built on stilts, boat ride and mangrove forest canoe ride.

Village life

Our tour guide was knowledgeable about this area. It’s hard to imagine living in a village such as this. People work in difficult conditions. It was interesting but is more of a good space filler then a mind blowing activity. It’s worth seeing if you have time but nothing to go out of the way to do.

Kampong Phluk, Tonle Sap Tour

Thank you for a relaxing morning tour! Our tour guide Phearom was very knowledgeable and patient during the tour. Very accommodating, and even dropped me off to a different location instead of going back to the hotel. He also made sure I get to find an ATM since I ran out of cash. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Small side trip

I booked the trip last night, it was a quick trip with a few great options. Phearom was great in telling the small group about Kompong Phluk and Tonle Sap Lake and the work that they do. Great door to door service.

Half day Kompong Phluk, Tonie Sap LKE

Unbelievable experience. Mr. Sokvivhet Chin was a great guide. Up the river in a crazy old noat, so much fun, to the lake and stopping by the village on stilts. It doesn’t get any better in Siem Reap. Authentic, rustic, real, rough in places but part of the adventure. Do the canoe part, it is a must. No other way to say it, it’s the best !!!
