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.

Cracking Afternoon

Really enjoyable afternoon and a huge mention to Han who was an absolutely excellent guide. The transfer very easy, the floating village (not so floating in dry season) really interesting, and the lake stunning and enormous! Would recommend for sure.

톤레샵호수 투어

캄보디아와서 주말에 호수투어 예약했어요. 북킹이 너무 많아서 저만 따로 투어를 진행해 주셨는데 너무 좋았어요. 차도 쾌적하고 가이드님 영어도 완벽하고 설명도 잘 해주셨구요.가이드님이 Nak이라는 현지분 이셨는데 문화나 역사 지역도 잘 아셔서 많이 배웠어요. 수상가옥있는 마을도 방문하고 맹글로브 카약투어도 헀어요. 악어도 봤구요. 저는 혼자였지만 단체로 하면 다른나라분들도 만날수 있어서 좋을것 같아요. 이비용에 이정도 투어면 후회 없을것 같아요.

완전 추천드려요!

Jose씨와 함께한 투어 완전 유익하고 좋았어요! 수상마을 자체도 알록달록 이쁘고 캄보디아의 역사도 알아가는 좋은 시간이었습니다! 앙코르와트 다녀오신 분들은 시간되면 꼭 가보세요!

Great tour to Kompong Phluk

I went on an afternoon tour to Tonle Sap and Kompong Phluk during the dry season. Both the boat trip along the village and the walk in the village were a unique experience. We got the opportunity to experience daily life in the village by visiting a school and a house. I also loved to canoe trip through the flooded forest (optional, additional 5 USD). Our tour guide Jose was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Nice experience

The experience is ideal for those who do not have the time or the energy to go for a full day trip. The guide, Choub was really funny and knowledgeable. It was a nice and relaxing experience where we still had the chance to learn more.

Fantastic half day on the water

Our family of 6 enjoyed our trip to Tonle Sap Lake. It was truly amazing to see a village that has been functioning for nearly 1,000 years. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaged. We enjoyed the brief stop at the local temple and the opportunity to see the village. Thank for a great day.
