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.

New Year’s Eve lake Kampong half a day dxpiriebce

We did our tour on New Year’s Eve in the morning.While Siem Reap was getting ready for Celebration , many roads were closed Sophy our guide came on his bike well before time as the car was hold up by traffic. This was very appreciated , so is the company as despite just the two of us the tour still went ahead and we basically had a private tour in very comfortable large van. Sophy was very informative, kind, helpful and nothing was a bother. Despite heat , we really enjoyed the trip because of Sophy’s knowledge of the area, people and customs and understanding of travellers needs. Morning visit to the market was great and brought everything together for us . We would recommend Sophy and the company he works for to future travellers . The driver was also very pleasant, helpful and we felt safe. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to get to know Cambodia and its people . All the very best to you and your company.

Een prachtige kennismaking met de locale bevolking van Cambodja

Het was een geweldige trip waarbij er ook ruimte was voor persoonlijke wensen, zoals even stoppen bij een tempel. De gids was erg vriendelijk en vertelde veel wetenswaardigheden. Kompong Phluk was erg indrukwekkend evenals de stop en wandeling over de locale markt. Ik beveel deze excursie ten zeerste aan!

Special tour guide and a fascinating tour!

We were so lucky to have Mr Nak (the self-proclaimed handsome man) show us around this amazing world. Such a fascinating tour and tour guide who knows the area so well. Mr Nak has fantastic knowledge, passion and a good sense of humour. He was able to engage with parents and children and answered all our questions. Thank you Me Nak!

Our number 1 experience and guide ????

This trip was simply the best choice ever - worth every penny and minute! Phy, our guide, was key to make it this valuable. He was such an incredible person: knowledgeable; attentive; respectful to everyone and everything; and not least he had great sense of humour. Also, his English skills were very good! The village was interesting in itself. Lovely to be welcomed in such a warm way, and to be able to get so close to people’s lives and see how they live in a very different environment than we are used to. Phy introduced us to several people with various livelihoods, and took us to a family that served excellent lunch! We wish we had many more days with him to see and understand more of Cambodian society and people.
