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.

Thank you Han and Green Era Travel!

A wonderful and 'real' afternoon spent traversing the canals of Kampong. Han was exceptionally knowledgeable, speaks almost perfect English and a bit of a cheek! It is our last day in Siem Reap and a great wrap to yet another wonderful holiday! Highly recommend.

Relaxing & Fascinating

After the intensities of full day touring at Angkor Wat, this is a lovely undemanding morning drive down the huge lake - immense even in the dry season and boggling to think how much land there is which is under water for several months of the year. A chance to see a little of the village life, the village’s beautiful temple (such a contrast to the mega-temples) and of course to ride along the river and out to the floating restaurant. We had great company (always helps) and a great guide in Choub who was knowledgeable and helpful without more detail than we could cope with. And back for an afternoon’s relaxing.

Great day exploring Kampong Phluk and Tonle Sap

My wife and I had an amazing day exploring Kampong Phluk and Tonle Sap lake. Our guide Choub was great and even though it was dry season and the river was very low, Choub made the day by taking us to a local market and then walking us through Kampong Phluk village where we were able to meet locals and see up close how they live during the dry season. We also had a drink out on a floating restaurant on the lake which was a great experience. I’d love to come back in the wet season and see how it compares.

Visite intéressante

Nous croyons que cette activité permet de comprendre davantage la vie des Cambodgiens. Accompagné d’un guide du nom de Chout, passionné et très professionnel.

Amazing! A must do in the Siem Reap area!

I loved this trip so much! I decided last minute to go on my last day in the area and I’m so glad I did. Our guide was great, good sense of humour and very welcoming - thank you Choub! Our group was small, just eight people and we were the only tourists in the village! We went during the dry season so we walked along the dry river bed and met local people. We also took a boat out into the largest lake in Cambodia and went to a floating restaurant. Such a great way to end my visit up North!

VERDENS BEDSTE TOUR GUIDE

Min søster og jeg bestilte denne tur gennem Trip Adviser, og endte med at få verdens bedste tourguide, Mr. San. Selvom vi besøgte søen i tørke perioden, var det stadig en ligeså smuk og indflydelsesrig oplevelse. Lige fra starten af, fortalte San en helt masse om Cambodia og landets historie. Han sørgede for at besvare alle vores spørgsmål, og snakkede flydende engelsk. Efter besøget på floden, inviterede San os på middag, hvor vi fik lov til at smage på Cambodjas delikatesser. San er en yderst inspirerende mand, som jeg er inderlig taknemmelig for at have mødt. Verden har brug for flere mennesker som ham!
