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.

First Rate. Highly recommend.

Absolutely first rate all the way. The vehicle was roomy, air conditioned, with fully reclining seats. Ty was very knowledgeable, attentive, and spoke excellent English. What's more, he's a nice guy.He was also able to help us out with a personal matter in Siem Reap based on his knowledge of the city.

Highly recommend this tour with Phy

Our guide Phy was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, we had a great time. We did the morning tour which meant we were also able to go through the market on our way to the lake which was fascinating, so much fresh food and interesting sights. The boat tour and the canoe tour were lovely and it was so interesting to learn about life in the village and the practices at the local temple.

Top guida a Siem Riep

Abbiamo passato una mattina divertente e e formativa! Voath, la nostra guida, si è dimostrata preparata, simpatica e professionale. Nel percorso in minivan ci ha spiegato la storia e le caratteristiche del food market e del villaggio dei pescatori Abbiamo fatto tre soste, al food market, al lago ed al villaggio.Tutto autentico, compreso il gran caldo! Voath ha una storia di grande determinazione, avendo iniziato la scuola elementare con tre anni di ritardo perché abitava in una zona rurale della Cambogia ed essendo riuscito a diventare guida turistica facendo circa 6 ore in bicicletta tutti i fine settimana per studiare l’inglese A proposito, il suo inglese è il migliore fra quelli cambogiani… Super raccomandato!!!

Must tour with Voath for an unforgettable experience!

Voath was amazing 5 stars, 10 if possible. He was early and ready to go. We spoke in Khmer to each other and he is so professional and informative about the history, culture and religion in the country. Voath was very kind and listened to my needs. He did not pressure me to do any other activities I did not want to do such as walk around in the heat or the additional canoe ride between the trees. Thank you for this great experience, Voath!

Ton Le Sap and Kampong Phluk with our amazing guide Nak

We visited Ton Le Sap Lake and Kampong Phluk with our guide Nak. We were amazed at the extent of the lake. Nak explained to us, in very good English, how the size of this vast inland fresh water sea changes between the wet and the dry seasons, and how important it is to the people and economy of Siem Reap province. We had a fun trip through the flooded forest in a canoe paddled by a local lady. We enjoyed the greenery and the singing of the birds after the noise of the waterways leading up to the lake. Walking through the Kampong Phluk was interesting and fun, especially doing “high fives” with local children! Nak was an excellent guide and we highly recommend him.
