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.

Half Day Kompong Phluk

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our guide Choub and driver Channa were very experienced and made the trip very comfortable. Choub was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited and went out of his way to make sure we were all included and looked after. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Supertrip

Halve dagtrip. In een woord, fantastisch!!!! Samen met een ander stel, op tijd opgehaald en naar de markt. Mooie ervaring hoe georganiseerd en toch echt Cambodjaans het kan zijn. De rivier op en daarna lopend verder. Aan 2 kanten de huizen op palen kunnen zien en wat mensen gesproken. Krokodillen restaurant op het water bezocht voor een versnapering, bijkomende fun waren de puppy honden ????. In het dorp een min of meer wat toeristisch actie maar errrrrrug leuk. Schriften en potloden gekocht en zelf uitdelen aan de kids. Al met al een geweldige ervaring die werd onderstreept door onze super enthousiaste gids Nak!!!

Half day KampongPhluk,Tonie Sap Lake from Siem Reap

We had an amazing experience with the knowledgeable guidance of our guide Me Nak. He was a local of the area and took us through his home local market that was a beautiful example of real Cambodian life. He then took us to the floating village and supplied us with local knowledge and respect for the local people. Very highly recommend this trip and Mr Nak's guidance.

Great Tour by Reem!

We spent our day out at Tonela Sap Lake - it was good! Even though it’s the dry season, we did see how the residents live, crocodiles and also the monestary! Our guide Reem and driver were great and took good care of us! Thanks!

Eye opening tour

Visiting the floating village was quite an eye opening experience. The tour guide (San) was great and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the boat ride through / around the floating village. We also pulled up next to a fishing boat and watched up-close as they transferred the fish onto their boat. It was a bit uncomfortable when we walked into one of the homes, but otherwise the tour was very informative and interesting. Would recommend.

I really wasn't expecting much from the visit to the Village but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Siem Reap. The whole trip was wonderful led by a terrific local guide who really showed us behind the scenes. Highly recommended

A Photographer's paradise

This is a super tour. We had Nak Chum who took us to his own village and literally took us behind the scenes. Absolutely eye opening. And then it got better, with a dragon tail boat ride down to the lake and a drink at the crocodile farm. We were pretty much "Templed Out", having done the two day tour on the previous two days, but this was so different and enjoyable that we forgot how exhausted we were. This is a great trip and given the time again and a shorter stay in Siem Reap, I would do this rather in preference to the big circle. Great trip. Don't miss it.
