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.

A fascinating insight into Cambodian communities

An amazing and interesting afternoon tour , including a stop at a local market. Our guide introduced us to real life Cambodian communities which was both fascinating and humbling. A really worthwhile experience and great value.

A must when in Siem Reap!!

This tour is a must. It encompasses a lot of things in just a half-day tour. I really enjoyed the raw experience of visiting these villages and seeing the lake which was a lot more interesting than I thought.

Interesting tour with great guide

Our guide, Sath, was very good and professional, explaining to us in English all about the region, lifestyle, economics and people. He is from that region which helped give an insider’s perspective which we thoroughly appreciated. He explained ahead of time what the schedule would entail. Pickup snd drop off went smoothly because he contacted us a day early both via email and what’s app.

Amazing experience

This tour is absolutely amazing. We were lucky enough to have Sath and Seiha to ourselves and made the experience much more personal. We were picked up in a lovely air contained car which helps with the heat. Sath was very knowledgeable and conducted the tour very well. Me and my wife were very impressed with the attention to detail. Nothing but thank you to both Sath and Seiha for their efforts and for a brilliant tour.

Highly recommend, great experience.

I had a lovely time with Sath and our driver Me Seiha. I was the only person on the small group tour and they both went out of their way to make sure I enjoyed myself. The village is beautiful, the people are friendly and the lake is amazing. Sath was very good about asking me what I wanted to do and not to (no, I didn’t see want to crocodiles, yes I would to do a school tour and a tour of the English school). He has great knowledge of the area and was very informative. I highly recommend.
