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.

Excellent trip and amazing experience.

Fabulous day with Lonh. Knowledgable and experienced guide. We were met at the hotel and Rachna our driver was very good- polite and made us welcome. Lonh has an amazing knowledge of the area and provided us with a great experience. The tonle sap lake boat trip was just amazing. Well worth the visit and such a great day. Kampong phluk - is fascinating. You get to see village life from the boat and watch the fishing. We got to walk through a market and see the locals selling fresh food. Lonh explained all the food and how it’s eaten. We got to have a small boat ride through the mangroves - great additional trip. Finished with delicious Cambodian food at The Hart. Great food. This is a must do trip when you are in Siem Reap. Highly recommend.

Excellent half day trip! A must for all Visitors busing Siem Reap!

Van Lonh was our Tour Guide who was very welcoming and polite! His knowledge of the area and local community was excellent. The tour of Kompong Pluck was not only interesting but very humbling! The community were very friendly, hospitable and smiley happy people. The Mangrove additional canoe ride was exceptional. The Hut where Van Lonh took us for lunch was outstanding. Beautiful site and food not only presented well but tasted unbelievable. All staff were very accommodating and polite. Excellent trip, highly recommended! 5 *

Van Lonh

Very fun day with some great facts from Van Lonh who gave us lots of information about the lives of people who live in the floating village as well as some historical information. Both the market and floating village were amazing!

After we take a boat ride to the water forest. And there wide take a canoe and we enter an incredibly beautiful nature surrounded by plants and trees. The woman who steered the canoe sang Cambodian songs to us. She make the tour so relaxing.After that we got back on the boat and went to a huge lake .Then thy take us to the village on the water. we were greeted by extremely positive and well-behaved children. No meter thy life is not in 5 star hotel they were incredibly happy. It's nice to buy them a notebook and pencils and of course chocolates But even if you don't, they'll still be happy for you.
