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.

Unique experience with great tour guides!

We had a wonderful tour of the floating villages with Mr Vat and Mr Dy. They were so kind, patient, and informative. The group size was perfect and the van was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour as you get to see a really unique and mesmerising side of Cambodia. 10 out of 10!

Wonderful day out exploring local villages

We had an amazing day out with Nak touring the local market and the stilted village on Tonle Sap. The market tour was a real highlight. Nak guided us through and explained all the Khmer ingredients and let us taste a bunch of delicious things. The village tour was very interesting too. Our kids learned a ton about Cambodian culture and we could not have asked for a better host than Nak. Highly recommend - especially for families that might be ‘templed out’ and want to explore a bit beyond the city.

First Day in Siem Reap Cambodia

Myself and my family have traveled all over the world; we are avid travelers. Vantha was one of the most excellent guides we have ever had. His English was impeccable. He was extremely professional while being decisively friendly. He was also very knowledgeable. He made our first day in Cambodia special and memorable. If you book this tour ask for Vantha to be your guide, you won’t regret it.

A Must see!

The place is amazing. A deep dive in cabogean life. Their houses are very exotic! It is a MUST SEE in Siem Reap! Voath was our guide. He is patient and friendly! Ask for him to guide you in Camboja. He took care about our arrival at the airport and attended our needs to internet services, lunch and luggage. Also, explained about Camboja culture. Thank you Voath, thank you Green Era.

Phy = Best Tour Guide

Phy our guide made all the difference, very insightful and interesting knowledge of local customs and the area we visited we answered all questions we had and kept us entertained. Our driver, who's name we didn't get was also very polite and helpful, always opening the door for us and greeting us with a smile. Tour itself was great, saw the fishing village and the private experience was well worth it. Really enjoyable and Phy our guide on 14th Dec was the best, ask foe him if you can. Would book again.

Excellent Tour

Phy was an excellent guide for Ton Le Sap Lake, Buddhist Temple and Village Tour. A village on stilts and a place like no other, I recommend the experience.
