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.

A nice trip out of Siem Reap.

I was initially cautious about visiting some of the villages on Tonle Sap as I had heard some negative reviews regarding some trips previously. HOWEVER..... this trip certainly proved me wrong!! It was extremely well organised and our guide Nak was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed this trip for the sights of the village and the insight from our guide. No hesitation in recommending this company if you’re thinking about visiting the floating villages.

Great Experience

Had a lovely morning doing this tour. I was really lucky to have a fantastic group of people from many countries. Our guide Voath was a great source of information, polite and attentive to the needs of the group. I would definitely recommend this tour as it was a great experience to see how others live and work.

Ausflug mit Überraschung

Die Tour war schön, der Guide sehr freundlich und informativ. Leider beinhaltet diese Tour auch ein Stop bei der Krokodilfarm. Diese Farm ist keine Farm sondern ein Käfig voller Krokodile, die darauf warten geschlachtet und deren Haut zu Handtaschen verarbeitet zu werden.

Great Experience with Mr Tork & the boat ‘Captain’ ????????????

We had Mr Tork as our guide this morning - he was really great with excellent English, a lovely way about him and a great ability to talk proudly about Cambodian life and society which we found really interesting. Also our boat captain was really friendly and made us feel very welcome - so we’ll done to all ????????????
