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.

Brilliant day with Kuysin the Tour Guide & Chat the Driver

We had an amazing morning visiting the village of Kampong Phluk followed by a trip on the river and out to Tonle Sap Lake. We were grateful to our fantastic guide Kuysin and our driver Chat. Kuysin was full of knowledge and enthusiasm and Chat's car was beautifully clean and easy to travel in. We were on the trip with a small child (3 years old) and they accommodated his needs as well as giving us a memorable day at the market, in the village and on the lake. I would highly recommend this experience. Thank you Kuysin and Chat! See you next time!

Great insight into local fishing communities

Great experience to visit some the fishing villages and local markets.Our tour Guide, Vantha, provided us with a lot of knowledge and history of Cambodia and it’s local people including multiple topics, a relaxing canoe trip through the mangrove forest and the boat ride on an typical fishing boat added the the day’s experiences.

Visite marché + village flottant au top avec Nak.

Partis à 7h, nous étions les seuls touristes au marché et pour la courte promenade dans le village. Les commentaires informatifs de Nak ont rendu le tout très vivant. La balade bateau est sympa sans être inoubliable mais l’ensemble dans de telles conditions valait vraiment le coup et le coût. Retour hôtel 11h30.
