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.

Great tour and unique experience with great guide.

A unique tour of the lake and the village on the water. Our guide Phy was terrific and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but Phy and our driver made sure we always had umbrellas at the ready. On the way to the lake Phy took us on a guided tour of the local food market, explaining what the different foods were and where the fish was caught and the vegetables grown. While at the floating village we visited the school and spent some time with the younger children and practiced English with them. It was a wonderful experience. Arkoun thom thom Phy!

A big recommendation

I was very lucky to have my trip to Kampong Phluk & Tonle Sap today with Mr.Nak! I was able to have a very pleasant journey thanks to the guide and the driver. It was astonishing to see the villages in the water… Mr.Nak told me so many interesting stories about the village, the lake and the cambodian history. A huge recommendation to take this trip if you’re in Siem Reap!

Authentic Tour of Rural Life in a Unique Community

Great authentic tour of the real fishing town and floating village, with a lunch included in a cute and beautiful restaurant. Khen and Nak were great tour guides, and were super helpful and flexible based on my preferences; it was an added bonus that they’re from the village where we visited a farmer’s market, so I was able to ask a lot of questions about every day life. Thank you!
