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.

Da fare assolutamente

Io ela mia ragazza siamo appena tornati dal tour e credo che probabilmente sia il migliore se si vuole visitare il villaggio galleggiante. La nostra guida San parlava perfettamente inglese ed è stata puntuale nel pick-up. Unaltra nota positiva è che durante il tour nessuno ha insistito per farci comprare niente e inoltre non hai le persone che ti vengono dietro cercando di venderti qualcosa, questo credo che sia il vantaggio di avere una guida perché probabilmente quando la vedono le persone locali stanno un po' più attente. L'esperienza in se è bellissima e questo tour permette di viverla senza stress o pensieri.

Excellent experience!!!

Our tour guide Choub was amazing. He really showed us a very authentic experience and I am so glad we decided on this tour. I learned a great deal and would definitely recommend this tour without reservations. We did the add on boat tour in Mangrove Forrest which was a beautiful experience.

A really good trip to see Tonle Sap lake and the floating village.

I took the morning option and we first stopped at the local market which was really busy but enjoyable.

Floating Village Tour - fun for whole family.

We had a great time today with the Green Era tour company to Kompong Phluk. Our tour guide Sorphea was very helpful and shared a lot of local knowledge with us. The tours are pricy, but you do get 5hrs of interesting tour through villages which will open your eyes to the local culture. Would recommend

Bellissima questa esperienza al Lago di Tonle Sap,dove abbiamo potuto osservare le condizioni di vita degli abitanti locali,per lo più pescatori. Caratteristico il villaggio con le case su palafitte,anche se la vita dei pescatori locali ritengo sia molto dura. Ho visto comunque volti dolci e sereni e tanta gioia nei bambini. Bellissima la gita in barca sul lago e ottimo il pranzo in casa di una signora del villaggio. Una bellissima esperienza.

Uno stile di vita assolutamente da vedere

Guida molto preparata (in inglese), tour consigliato. Sufficiente mezza giornata per visitare il villaggio e tour in canoa nella foresta di mangrovie.

Interesting experience

We had a really good and interesting tour in Kompong Phluk. The village was not completely floated since it’s dry season right now but it’s interesting to see how they adapt their village to the water level and how life works in a remote Cambodian village. The boat ride in the mangrove forest was great, we’ve seen as well some little crocodile. Our guide Sorphea was amazing, such a nice person full of knowledge, he explained us a lot about the village and the Cambodian society. We could see how much passion he put in his job, we were lucky to have him as our guide!

Great Experience.

We had a very interesting and enjoyable day with our guide, Jack. The tour was very good value for money and our guide gave us real insights into the lives of the people who live on the lake.
