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 trip

We had a great time with Nak Chum our tour guide. Fascinating village and lots of interesting things to see. Nak was a very good guide, a very proud Cambodian.

Kompong Phluk half-day tour

Nak was a great tour guide and provided a lot of insight on the region, his life, and the Cambodia culture. Even though I saw it in the dry season it was very interesting and beautiful to see. Would recommend.

Amazing Trip to Kompong Village and Tonle Sap

Honestly one of the best trips we’ve ever booked..the experience we had visiting the village children and their families was so special and not at all intrusive. The boat journey down the floating villages a visit to the local market and to top it off cruise on Tonle Sap.. just phenomenal. We were lucky to have great company with the other four people on the trip and we ended our day with a lovely local meal where we all got to know each other and shared stories. Cannot praise Jose our guide enough. His enthusiasm and love for his country was inspired he made this trip so special. Can’t recommend this trip enough..I’d do it tomorrow again if I could!!!

Another side of life in Cambodia

The experience offered great insight into the life of the Lake people. We throughly enjoyed our journey with Han. He is knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. We especially enjoyed the market. The trip is highly recommended.

Klasse Reiseführer

Ob die Tour in der Trockenzeit sinnvoll ist kann jeder selbst entscheiden. Aber der Klasse Reiseführer Mr. Voath hat es trotz niedrig Wasser echt interessant gestaltet. Haben ihn dann gleich noch mal zwei Tage später für Ankor Wat gebucht. Er spricht ein super Englisch und ist auch für einen Spaß zu haben.

최고의 투어프로그램이였어요!

씨엠립에 도착해서 다음날 바로 무엇을 해야 할지 고민 했는데 전날밤에 예약하고 오후 프로그램에 참여했어요! 가이드 '한'이 자세한 캄보디아의 문화를 이야기 해주고 편안하게 대해줬습니다. 프로그램 구성도 알차서 성공적인 톤레삽 투어 프로그램이였습니다!????????????
