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.

Authentic Cambodian experience

Beautiful experience to get fully in touch with Cambodian real life and to see the unique ecosystem of Tonle Sap lake.Even if the village is not yet floating as the raining are on late this year, we had opportunity to walk through the village and meet the locals and have a short navigation of Tonle Sap lake.Our guide, mr. Voath, perfectly gave us all information about Cambodia history and floating village people way of life, fantastic tour, fantastic guide and driver!

Totally different way of life...

We stopped enroute at our guides home village which seemed more of a market with a few homes as the market was huge! A proper assault on the senses - sights, sounds & smells - stuffed frogs anyone?! What I liked was there was no pushing you to buy stuff, although having our tour guide being well known by almost everyone I think helped a lot! This is a tour definitely well worth doing - although not flooded due to it being dry season the walk through gave a completely different perspective to life in this village and I'm glad we did it in low season as it wasn't crowded and the villagers were just getting on with their daily lives. It was hot & dusty and I can understand why the houses are built on stilts to make the most of the breeze when there is no water. The villagers were very friendly & happy for photos to be taken (just ask first!) I do want to return to see it when it is flooded though...
