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. 

Back in Siem Reap, your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

Trip to Tonle Sap from Siem Reap

The driver, Mr. Vong, was very courteous and drove well. My guide, Mr. Chhoub, was very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. It was a fun and unique experience. I am very glad that I went.

The tour was really amazing. Our guide Chanthorn was kind and well-prepared. It's highly recommended to take the tour with the miniboat once you arrive at the lake Response published

Chan is amazing!! Highly recommended tour guide

Chan via GreenEra was an amazing tour guide! Very informative and knowledgeable. Great English and super funny to work with! It is a nice peek into the floating villages and actually looking at the real life of Cambodia ppl, it is really sad but important for all travels. Boat ride was really fun. The optional rowing with the lady is really fun! Highly recommended if you need a half day tour away from all the temples.

Recommend for families with young kids

Great experience. I really enjoyed the boat ride and getting to see a different side of Siem Reap. I also opted for the sampan ride which was really relaxing. Our guide Chanthorn was very patient and knowledgeable. Strongly recommend!...

Superb experience!

The tour was excellent with great attention to detail. Our guide, Nak Chum, spoke excellent English and provided explanations which were very informative and educational. We were very impressed with his knowledge and readily answered our many questions. The vehicle was modern, clean and well driven.

Excellent trip with Nak!

Nak was an excellent guide! Not only was he a very kind person, he was very informative, he spoke excellent English and made the trip very special. If I come back to Siem Reap, I would like him again! He was very thoughtful and helpful with getting in and out of boats and an overall great person to lead such an experience.
