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. 

Back in Siem Reap, your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

Authentic experience *****

Absolutely recommended! The Tonle Sap village is worth visiting even during the dry season, even the boat ride was shorter. The atmosphere in the village is authentic, the houses are very special and picturesque. I was on a tour alone, so it was like a private trip. My guide Nak was very knowledgeable and took care of me all the time, so I felt safe and comfortable, and the driver Pheap was very helpful too.

Amazing trip

We took the morning tour that was a private tour with us, the driver and guide. Both driver and guide were really knowledgeable and very friendly. Visit to local market was amazing and we were able to see and find out about the real Cambodian way of life. The stilt village was brilliant and we met lots of the locals. From there we took a boat past all the fishermen to Tonle Sao lake where we had the opportunity to drive the boat to the floating restaurant. In all a fantastic day with lots of experiences and laughs that I would highly recommend.
