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.

Floating Village Tour

Out Guide Nak was wonderful, so friendly and competent. We learned a lot about the Tonle Sap and the daily life on the lake. The experience couldn‘t have been better. 100% recommendation for this Tour Company and the Guide!

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.

A great day

With guide Vinh. He had so much knowledge about the communities we visited and made our tour very special finishing with the sunset over the lake. If you want to explore a way of life entirely different than yours, you should see these communities and huge Lake Tonle Sap. Thank you and our wonderful day.
