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.

Floating villages are a must-see

My mom just got back from this tour and is raving about it. She says she has never seen anything like the 800-family floating village they visited today. Vanlonh, the tour guide, was very helpful - he went above and beyond to answer questions and share stories about village life. I’m so bummed that I was sick and unable to join today. Sounds like it was a really cool day!

Great Tour Experience with Pheuroam

Our great tour guide Pheuroam is super friendly patient thoughtful and professional. We had great experience visiting the floating village and speculate sunset on the lake. With his explanation and interesting story telling, we understand more about the culture, history and life other than the beautiful scene. You will have a great time with him.

Awesome tour with tour guide Pheanom

Our tour guide Phearom is amazing. We booked an afternoon tour and he arrived at our hotel around 1:45pm. On the way there, he told us a lot of history about Cambodia and its relationship with neighbor countries. He even waited for us to see the sunset from the Tonle Sap lake. Thank you for such a great experience!

Étonnant

Avec notre guide , nous avons passé une demi journée pour voir le lac tonle sap et sa vie. Juste un autre monde. On a vu le village sur pilotis et sa vie qui bouge sans cesse. Faut le voir pour y croire.

Excursion très calme et intéressante,très peu de touristes et petit groupe de 4

Nous sommes partis dans un petit van et étions seulement un groupe de 4 personnes . Nous n’avons rencontré que très peu de touristes à cette excursion ce qui était très agréable et tranquille . Nous sommes allés au village en bateau puis sommes descendus visiter ce village à pieds, où nous avons vu deux écoles, la gendarmerie , la clinique, une pagode et toutes les maisons des pêcheurs certaines très belles et d’autres plus pauvres , beaucoup d’enfants dans les rues et les villageois. Puis nous sommes remontés dans le bateau et sommes allés dans un restaurant où nous pouvions boire ou manger mais personne ne nous a obligé à consommer ou bien faire un tour de bateau dans la mangrove pour 5 dollars par personne si on le souhaitait mais non obligatoire non plus , nous avons fait ce tour de 30 minutes , sympa et tranquille avec très peu de monde et là encore personne ne nous a obligé à acheter quoique ce soit même si on a fait un petit arrêt près d’un bateau flottant proposant des boissons et autres...nous sommes ensuite remontés dans notre bateau , avons fait un tour sur le lac avec le soleil qui commençait à descendre , très belles couleurs puis nous sommes repartis vers notre mini van en bateau ..nous avons traversé de très beaux paysages et des villages pittoresques jusqu’à Siem Reap et nous avons simplement payé le tour dans la mangrove en plus et quelques pourboires que nous donnons de toute façon habituellement. Tout le reste était compris dans le prix de l’excursion . Le tour a duré 4h et nous avons eu un guide très très sympathique et qui nous a expliqué beaucoup de choses sur la vie au Cambodge. Merçi donc à Phal Phearom notre très bon guide qui nous a permis de passer un très bon après-midi lors de ce tour à Kompong Phluk. Je recommande ce tour avec un guide ce qui permet de pouvoir visiter ce village de pêcheurs en toute tranquillité et sans mauvaise surprise par la suite au niveau du tarif ...top ..!!!

Awesome half day with sunny weather

Our guide Nak was really friendly, helpful and knows a lot of local history and fun anecdotes of the local community. He even took really nice photos for me. I loved the boat trip and mangrove tour with visit to floating crocodile farm and restaurant. The weather was perfect to explore the village. A must visit to Tonle Sap lake and Kampung Phluk.
