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.

Fantastic tour with Nak

We had a great time at Kampong Phluk and Tonlé Sap lake with Nak. We saw some very wonderful landscapes. Our guide was very nice and gave us many information about Kampong Phluk and Cambodia in general!

Must do in Siem Reap !

Most of the tourists will focus their Siem Reap vacation visiting only the temples. Aside from it, you must include a half day visit to the floating village! Compared to neighboring countries which also has this type of attraction, Siem Reap Floating Village hosts more than 900 families and the government is building amenities such as schools and hospitals to support the locals to maintain their lifestyle in this area. My tour guide Nak from Green Era Travel was very friendly and passionate about this tour, he really made the experience even nicer!

interesting and suitable for family

Jose was friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I learned a lot on this tour. Not only did we see the dwelling places of the people of Kompong Phluk from the outside but we actually had the opportunity to enter one of the homes. Being in a small group enabled us to ask Jose a lot of questions, which he happily answered. We definitely recommend this tour to anybody who's visiting Siem Reap.

Kompong Phluk and Tonlé Sap Lake: Half-Day Tour

Enjoyed the tour to the floating village and the Tonle Sap lake. Was extremely interesting and learned a lot. Did an additional stop at a local market. Our guide was Nak Chum, who was very knowledgeable. I can recommend that tour with Nak!

Half day tour in Kompong Phluk and Tonle Sap

This was a very nice half day trip (around 4 hrs door to door). Everything was executed well, and the guide, Reem, was both positive and very eager to inform us about anything we wanted to know, from the construction of houses in the village to some of the history leading up to present-day Cambodia.

Nice experience

It was good experience to see the local people's way of life. You cannot imagine how big the lake is and how local people live there. In addition, guide was good at explanation about inquiries and was taking care all of our tour members.
