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.

ガイドさんの説明がとっても分かりやすかった!!

他社の日本語ツアーに空きがなかった為こちらのツアーを申し込んだのですが、結果こちらで大正解でした。ガイドのSorpheaさんの英語はとても分かりやすく、また情報量が非常に豊富で、カンボジアについていろいろ教えていただきました。ツアー内容自体も本では学べない要素がたくさん詰まっていたので、遺跡ツアーとはまた違った楽しみ方ができるアクティビティーでした。 今回の旅行中、カンボジア人のおもてなしには頭が下がる思いをたくさん経験しましたが、その中でも今回のガイドのSorpheaさんはとても盛り上げ上手で、おかげで一緒にまわった方達とも楽しく交流ができました! ありがとうございました!!

An Amazing Day

We had a very nice half day at Tonle Sap lake. Our guide San, was very friendly, spoke well English and made our day great. We can definitely recommend this trip if you want to experience a local village and even speak English with some of the local kids. We were only 4 people on our tour, which made it easy to ask questions and get some good knowledge about Tonle Sap but also about the history of Cambodia.

Een halve dag Kompong Phluk, Tonle Sap-meer vanaf Siem Reap

Informatief bezoek aan Kompong Phluk samen met onze gids Han. Veel achtergrond informatie zowel tijdens het bezoek aan het dorp en tijdens de boottocht. Mooi om de andere kant van de omgeving rondom Siem Reap te zien. Een halve dag wel besteed.

An Amazing Day with Han!

We had the best day with Han, our wonderful tour guide! He was so informative - he shared personal life stories with us, taught us about Cambodian history and politics, and led us on a wonderful tour passing through the “floating village” (it was not floating because we visited in February) to the Tonle Sap. We loved visiting the floating restaurant on the lake at the end of the tour too. So much fun, definitely recommend!
