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.

Not to be missed.

Our guide Nak was a very enthusiastic & knowledgable guide. Because it was dry season, we visited the floating village on foot, then did a small boat ride onto the Tonle Sap lake. It was just as interesting to visit the village this way & we would have hated not to have had this great experience. We also enjoyed visiting the non-touristy, local markets in Nak's home town. Dry or wet season, this is a memorable place to be seen.

乾季のトンレサップ湖

乾季ということで行くか迷ったが、遺跡巡りとは違う刺激を求めて参加した。日本語のツアーがなかったのでこちらで参加したが、当日は他の申し込みはなかったようで貸切ツアーのようになったが、ガイドのChoubさんの積極的かつ丁寧な説明でとても楽しむことができた。 ペットボトルの水も一本もらうことができたので助かった。 また雨季に来たい場所である。 流れは ホテルでピックアップ→ローカルな市場見学→コンポン・プルック村→ボートに乗ってトンレサップ湖→ホテルに戻る

A must do for travellers

Fantastic experience. Our tour guide Lonh was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, he taught us not only about the floating village but also more about the Siem Reap region and Cambodia in general. We really enjoyed our time with him. This day trip is a must for anyone visiting Siem Reap!

5 stars for the trip

It was a very eventful and great trip with our tour guide Lonh to the Floating Village. We have learned a lot and talked with Lonh also us great, he has told us a lot of interesting things about Cambodia and tried very hard to meet us all. We had a nice afternoon, so that we have already booked for the next day a new trip to the temples with Lonh. We can only recommend you to book a tour here! Also the English from Lonh is great and he is a very funnie guy.. you understand everything and nothing is forced on you.

Great experience!

We took a boat through the stilted village and as it was the dry season, we were also able to explore the village by foot, watching villagers go about their daily activities, children attending classes, and younger ones playing and running around. Our guide, Lonh Van, was informative and told us a lot about the the lives of the villagers and locals. The boat ride on Tonle Sap was also a nice and relaxing one.

Great morning in Siem Reap

Lonh was the friendliest guide ever! We loved chatting with him and learning more about his life in Cambodia. His English is excellent, and he patiently answered all of our questions. I loved visiting the village and doing a mini English lesson with the children. We needed a break from temples, but still wanted to explore, so this was a great way to do it.
