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.

Tonle Sap Tour - Great value for money

I took the half dayTonle Sap Tour, booked via Bookmundi. They replied to my inquiries pretty quickly and we booked the tour. Tour itself was lovely, our guide was a funny approachable guy ad despite it being dry season and there was not that much water on the river to lead to the lake, we were still given a fascinating tour. The only downside was that on the day itself, I think that they may have forgotten about us. When they were late to pick up, we asked the hotel to call them. However we were picked up soon enough by a private driver and we made it at the site just in time around the same time as the tour bus did. Overall, despite making a slight error, the tour manage to quickly fix the issue and we were able to enjoy our day :) Tip: Bring shoes as it can get dusty during dry season or muddy during wet season
