Tonle Sap Lake and Kampong Phluk Half-Day Tours from Siem Reap (4-5h)

Thank you Nak for an amazing experience!!! I have memories for life. This tour is for anyone who is drawn towards alternative perspectives and ways of life.

The trip to the village on stilts was one of the highlights of the trip. And Jose, our tour guide, made all the more enjoyable and exciting. Jose's unsurpassed knowledge about the village and their lifestyle was truly impressive. He was also very courteous and professional in every step of the way. He answered our questions thoroughly and tirelessly, and made sure that we were all having great time. Whoever visits Siem Reap, I highly recommend to ask for Jose, as a tour guide.

My wife and I had an exciting and enjoyable tour to Kompong Phluk with 6 other travellers. The journey there turned out to be an adventurous one. Our trip happened to coincide with the Pchum Ben festival and there was a long traffic jam leading to the boat boarding area. Our van had to detour through a red track road and we experienced a fun safari-like drive through the villages. When we arrived, the place was crowded with tourists and locals. We boarded a large boat all to ourselves. It was very stable and we had a very comfortable ride throughout the tour. The many houses on stilts (not floating) was really unique. There was a school, a soon to be completed hospital, a church, main Buddhist temple, floating restaurants serving the community of about 6000 people. Our wonderful guide, Jose from Green Era made our tour so much more fun and engaging with information on Cambodia in general and also life in the Kompong Phluk community. Overall, we had a memorable tour with the great service provided by Jose and Vong the driver.

A visit to this lake community is worthwhile. Underdtanding their tradition and livelihood enriches your life experience. The on-the-water living is cool and unique.

Wir hatten Jose als Guide, sein English ist super und man kann ihn alles mögliche fragen Die Tour war super organisiert und man konnte einen guten Einblick von Kambodscha bekommen (mehr als ich erwartet habe) Auch das Wetter hat gepasst, hier ist zwar momentan rain season, aber bei uns hat die Sonne gescheint, und man bekommt zu dieser Jahreszeit wohl den besten Einblick in das Leben der Einwohner

i want to write a review because other reviews made us decide to take this trip today. When i read google reviews about visiting the floating village in general I got worried and wanted to go somewhere else because of all the negativity. My girlfriend found Green Era Travel company on tripadvisor and showed me all their good reviews so we decided to give it a try with them and hoped for the best. We had a great trip and i am so glad we went! Got picked up from our hotel, ac van, had to pick up 1 other tourist, went to a beautiful local market and got shown around by our guide Jose. He was on our side, gave us all the info we needed. No hidden charges, no pressure to buy stuff, just an enjoyable trip with info to help us make the best decisions for ourselves. The floating village was impressive and humbling at the same time. The big lake beautiful, and we also did the kajakking through the mangroves. That was 10 dollar per boat if you want to do that but it was clear before booking that that was the case so i felt fine doing so. I fed a half chicken to the crocodiles, 5 bucks, well worth it imho :) free water was included and our guide was awesome. I would recommend booking the trip with them, my gf and i can look back on a nice morning trip that was well worth it

Our guide, Jose, was fantastic - he was a wealth of information on the lake and the villages on the lake and his English was very good.

Our party of 6 did the 1/2 day tour today with our guide San. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and travelled in air conditioned van to the lake. The small boat took us on an eye-opening tour with great commentary from San. It was amazing to see how simply people can live and how happy they seemed to be. A highlight was a visit to the school, where we gave out some stationery packs that we had brought from home. These were gratefully received. I would highly recommend this tour as a way to see authentic life in a Cambodian village.

Fully charged afternoon tour of the Tonle Sap lake and nearby villages and mangroves, superbly led and narrated by tour guide Nak who was informative and lively throughout. This is a must see tour and Green Era Travel are highly recommended. Top marks to Nak!
