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.

Nak과 함께 즐거운 투어!

캄보디아는 현재 우기이지만 비가 별로 오지 않아서 보트 타는게 조금 걱정되었지만 다행히 보트를 탈 수 있었습니다. 수상가옥을 보고 톤레삽 호수에 떠 있는 레스토랑에서 악어도 구경했습니다. 그룹 투어이지만 저를 포함해 둘 밖에 없어서 차량을 이용하여 편하게 투어했네요. 날씨는 좀 더웠지만 구름이 있고 햇빛이 강하지 않아서 여행하기 나쁘지 않았습니다. 마을 아이들의 학교를 방문하여 연필과 노트를 기부한 것이 가장 뜻깊은 일이었습니다.

Great highlights of Kompong Phluk and Tonle Sap Lake!

Informative tour. Highly recommended if you don't have much time. Our tour guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. Through our chat, I have learnt more about the Cambodians' way of life.

Amazing tour

Nak was absolutely wonderful, full of knowledge about the sites and history of Cambodia. We enjoyed every minute of it and would highly recommend. I would advise bringing school supplies if possible for the stop at the village school.

Excursion à faire

Nous avons découvert ce lieux atypique avec à priori au vu de ce qu'on avez lu mais même si effectivement on nous demande quelques dollars par ci quelques dollars par là en plus ( ça aurait été bien de nous prévenir avant), le lieux atypique et unique vaut le coût d'être découvert! Au sujet Green Era Travel, la gestion par mail a été parfaite. Un grand merci encore a Nak notre guide ( avec qui on a pris plaisir à discuter) et au chauffeur channas pour cet après midi.

Great experience !

Nak was a great guide for us today. He told us all we needed to know and more. He is very knowledgeable. He took us to the market and floating village which taught us a lot about how Cambodian people live. Definitely recommend this tour.

Kampong Phluk and Tonelesap lake with Chet

My BF and I had a wonderful trip and enjoyed our tour with our enthusiastic guide, Chet, very much. We begann the tour with the boat ride to a restaurant on the lake. Chet explained not only the living on the lake but also another things to get to know the country a little bit more. Then we visited ans walked around the village and its primary school.

great tour!

现在是旅游淡季,前一天晚上临时决定去洞里萨湖,网上下单后得到即使确认。可能淡季报名人太少,本来定的是small tour,结果非常幸运的享受到了private tour。旅游公司并没有因为人数少取消我的预定,大大的赞!导游Marin先生和司机“James Bond”先生的真诚和努力给我们留下深刻印象 此行为游客了解柬埔寨普通百姓的生活打开了一扇窗 谢谢Green Era Travel 谢谢导游和司机
