Amazing day with elephants and a visit to the floating village

We had an amazing day with our guide Nak and driver Channa. We were lucky enough to be the only couple on the tour that day, so it was like having a private guide! Nak was super friendly and accommodating - and he told us a lot about life in Cambodia. He was very well prepared and knowledgeable. The elephant sanctuary was definitely the highlight! It's clear that the elephants are well cared for, and it was great to feed them and go on a forest walk with them. The sanctuary guide was really informative and told us the backstory for each of the elephants. The floating village was a great experience as well! We went during the rainy season, so we were able to go on a canoe ride through the mangrove forest, which was very beautiful and serene. I would highly recommend this activity!

Unforgettable experience

This tour was an unforgettable and authentic experience that exceeded expectations. At the Kulen Elephant Forest, we were able to walk alongside the elephants in a calm and natural setting, and Seth gave us many insights on their behaviour and life at the forest. Our guide, Nak, was attentive and knowledgeable, and he stayed with us throughout the day. After the forest, he guided us through our visit to Tonle Sap Lake, where we experienced the serenity of the floating villages and glimpsed the unique lifestyle of the local community. Altogether, the combination of ethical elephant interaction, exceptional guidance, and cultural immersion made this one of the most enriching and memorable tours I’ve ever taken, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Two amazing experiences in one day!

Wow! Such an amazing day with the beautiful elephants and then visiting the Lake Village. Our guide Sath was amazing and gave us great information along with a great experience. Our driver Mr Saret was also top notch! We loved the air conditioned vehicle for a smooth and comfortable ride in the heat. We can’t rate this enough! Such a great day! Thankyou!

Elephants are awesome! ???? ???? (bff’s) 4-ever!

Had a GREAT experience with Nak and Mom! Nak was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Tonle Sap lake cruise was fun (even though it’s the dry season) and the Kulen Elephant Forest was the highlight of my trip, going home with amazing photos. Worth the money. Book with Nak!

5 star +++ 100% worth booking.

A fantastic day, great experience to really be recommended. Nak proved to be an excellent guide combining a great sense of humour with a real depth of knowledge to bring all subjects to life. Humble and honest, he really made the day, and anyone getting him as a guide will be lucky. Partnered up with our driver Thnou, who kept the cold drinks and Cambodian spring rolls (frozen handtowels) coming as well as being on time and driving safely. It really was a pleasure to spend time with them and learn so much about Cambodia and its culture
