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.

Una giornata memorabile alla scoperta della vera Cambogia

Nak, la guida e Samun, l’autista ci sono venuti a prendere puntuali nel nostro hotel.Nak ha iniziato a spiegarci un po’ di “storia” e poi ci siamo diretti alla Visita dei villaggi galleggianti. Nonostante la stagione fosse secca e il villaggio quasi totalmente asciutto Nak ci ha fatto salire su un’imbarcazione per costeggiare il Villaggio fino ad arrivare ad un porticciolo per proseguire a piedi nel Villaggio. Abbiamo visitato una anche una scuola ????.Dopo ci siamo diretti a fare un giro in canoa nelle mangrovie e infine nel lago tonle Sap.Abbiamo successivamente consumato il Pranzo in un buon ristorante locale molto economico e nel pomeriggio abbiamo visitato la foresta degli elefanti.Abbiamo preparato loro del cibo e successivamente abbiamo passeggiato con loro nella giungla seguiti dai ragazzi del parco nazionale e dalla nostra fantastica guida Nak. È stata un’esperienza indimenticabile.Consigliatissimo.

Comfortable and stress free Tonle Sap tour

We had a great day with Sath as our guide and Sokhen as our minivan driver. They picked us up on time at our hotel and we spent the day visiting a real local Tonle Sap market, the village and aboard the boat tour. It was an eye opener. Sath speaks perfect English and was born and raised in Siem Reap. He knows the city’s history and is well informed. Both made our day stress free and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

An amazing day trip with Mr. Sophy & Mr. Sokkhen!

What a beautiful day with Mr. Sophy! The Elephant Sanctuary was one of my favorite activities of my entire trip to Cambodia - cannot recommend this tour enough!! Our driver, Mr. Sokkhen navigated some difficult roads with grace & I loved meeting the children at the floating village.

A wonderful experience, highly recommend. Thanks Sorphea!

Sorphea was an excellent and informative guide. He took us to a local market, giving lots of insights into the way of life of the local people. The boat ride through the floating village was amazing, as was our small boat ride through the mangroves. To cap a perfect tour, Sorphea took us to an excellent restaurant in the 'jungle '. A wonderful experience, highly recommend ????.

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!
