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. 

Back in Siem Reap, your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

Sehr schöner Ausflug am morgen.

Unser wunderbarer Guide Voath hat uns entspannt zum pittoresken Dorf Kopong gebracht.Voller staunen konnte ich vom Boot aus die Kulisse des vollkommen auf Stelzen gebauten Dorfes bewundern.Über die Flussmündung sind wir in den Tonle-Sap-See gefahren um auf einer großen Seeplatform die Boote zu tauschen.Auch die optionale Fahrt durch die Mangroven war interessant.Abgerundet durch eine Dorfbesichtigung.Normalerweise organisiere ich meine Ausflüge selbst;aber einen solchen Ausflug kann man nicht selbst organisieren;und schon gar nicht für einen solch günstigen Preis.Danke auch nochmal anVoath,dass er sein umfangreiches Wissen mit uns geteilt hat.

Homes on Stilts

we went on the Tonle Sap tour which was very interesting. Voath was very good - he's smart and knowledgeable. It was fascinating to see homes built on stilts which were at least 2 or 3 stories high. The wet season floods the ground so the people have to live way above the ground but the stilts are only quite thin poles of trees. Fascinating!

Trip to the floating village

Nak was a great tour guide. Excellent English. Very good at explaining all aspects of the trip. He was able to answer any questions we had. He also always asked the group what they wanted to do next so we were very included. I highly recommend him.

Floating village

Le tour était intéressant et le guide nommé Nak était tout simplement parfait, très drôle et répondait à toutes nos questions. Juste assez long et bien construit comme type de tour. Eau fournis tout au long du tour. Je recommande :)

최고의 가이드

영어로 진행되지만 현지 가이드분이 한국말을 정말 잘하세요. 따로 한국어로 추가설명해주시기도 하셨습니다. 한국분이시라면 이 가이드님을 적극 추천하고 싶어요. 어느 질문이든 친절히 답변해 주셨습니다. 호텔까지 픽업해주시고, 차를 타고 이동하는 동안에 캄보디아의 문화에 대해 간략히 들을 수 있었어요. 즐겁게 이동할 수 있었습니다. 가이드님이 티켓을 끊고 배를 타서 마을로 들어가 아름다운 수상가옥들을 볼 수 있습니다. 맹그로브 숲에에서 작은 카누도 인당 5~6달러를 내고 탈 수 있어요. 정말 즐거운 경험이었어요. 다음에 기회가 된다면 이 가이드 분과 또 투어를 하고 싶습니다.

Great tour!

Our tour guide Nok made this excursion very enjoyable. He was very happy to answer questions and share lots of information as we drove out through the countryside to the boat that took us through the rivers and then to Tonle Sap lake. The tour showed us real life along the river and gave an insight into the way the people live there. At the stop at the mangrove forest, Nok recommended that we spend the extra $10 to go by canoe through the mangroves. It was great advice and we really enjoyed it! When we stopped at the Buddhist temple, Nok gave us a quick history of Buddha - we especially enjoyed this because he had been a monk for 10 years prior to being a tour guide. That added a level of credibility and realism that we appreciated. Then, at the end of the tour, he gave us a great restaurant recommendation and we had lunch there with the other couple on the tour with us. This was a really good tour and we highly recommend it!
