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.

Wonderful trip

An excellent half day trip with Sath our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the way of life in the floating village. . He even took us into a local home which was so interesting. He also recommended a trip on a canoe through the mangroves guided by the local woman of the village. It was so relaxing and peaceful - definitely a must.

Go for Nak & Billy

Traveling with a wheelchair is not evident anywhere but going to Kompong Phluk and Tonle Sap Lake is an expedition. Well, thanks to our guide Nak and driver Billy we made it ! In the car, out the car, in the boat, out the boat, pushing through the marketcrowd, ... And don't forget the heat and humidity in September. They helped us so much that we could enjoy every part of the journey to the max. And then they delivered us back safely at our hotel. Respect and a thousand thanks. Arkoun anak !

Fantastic guide made this tour unforgettable

Our guide, Nak, had shown us around for two days on the Angkor Wat Complex. We asked him to be our guide for another day and show us some more of the surroundings. We had a wonderful day at the Tonle Sap Lake taking a boat tour and seeing the floating village. Nak is really a wonderful guide with whom we connected immediately and he made our days unforgettable experiences! We would highly recommend him.

Good

It was raining because it was raining, and we didn't see a very beautiful lake or sunset, but the Guide explained the story and history of village life in detail, which was a very good experience.

また訪れたい場所、ガイドさん最高!

ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれて、地域の生活がよく分かり、見るものすべてに感銘を受けました。特に、途中で立ち寄ったRo Lus Marketは衝撃的。豚肉や蛙、鶏が生々しく売られていて、歩いているだけで面白く、日本では見られない光景が広がっていました。トンレサップ湖のカヌーも面白かった。雨季で心配していたけれど、雨季だからこそ見られた世界観が素晴らしく、一生の思い出になった。 また訪れたいです。ありがとうございました。

A look at a simple way of life

Loved getting in the lake and seeing the local way of life up close. Bring earplugs for the very loud engines on these boats.

Fishing Village Tour (Nak)

시장이랑 수상 가옥에서 가이드분이 친절하게 설명해 주세요! 카누 투어 하실 때 이용료랑 수상 상점이 있어서 현금 챙겨가시는 게 좋으실 거예요.

Thank to Nak!!

非常に貴重な体験ばかりで、とても楽しかったです!また、ガイドのNakさんが非常に明るく親切で、市場なども案内してくださりたくさんのフルーツを試食をさせていただきました!食べたことはないものばかりで、新鮮でした! 午前の部に参加しましたが、市場のあとは、ボートに乗って川上の村に向かい、案内もしてもらい、追加で5ドル必要ですが、小さなカヌーに乗り換えて、神秘的な世界も体験できました! その後は雰囲気の良いレストランに連れてっていただいて、全て楽しかったです!ありがとうございました!
