An impressive and interesting boat trip over the Tonle Sap. With a few technical problems and thus longer ride, nevertheless I would do the ride again. Slow travelling. Tip: inquire beforehand how close the boat can get to Battanbang due to the water level (season, dam in China, etc)

Great experience, boat of very good quality, the captain with little care and, icing on the cake, the rooftop sheltered to enjoy the show. Special Mention to Pick Up and Drop Off Service, just perfect.
The sights villages and nature are captivating. You see Cambodia fun a fifth different angle. Further upstream you see some of the worst poverty there is. Some of the trip is repetitive so to enjoy this you need to be prepared 1. Expect a long boat ride 2. No commentary so take a book/headphones to listen to music etc 3. Lunch/Snacks/drinks Then settle in for the ride. The fishing methods were the most interesting to my husband and I. Bought some fruit from a local boat. Ask your driver to pull in to a floating shop or ask to slow down to watch the nets be pulled up. The bat cave and carvings at Battambang was great.
It is a best boat trip that we never have had before and it is beautiful to see many references floating villages and through mangrove forest. I definitely recommend
Absolutely amazing travel experience by water way from Siem Reap to Battambang, it takes a bit long time bout 7 hours but it s wonderful views and go through many village and mangrove forest, the boat is nice and have toilet in boat, it was stopped in some village and have local family restaurant, but you should pack some food because it a bit long journey. All were amazing experience and recommend for whom what to see life on the water.
It was safe and clean luxury car for our private transfer from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville. Our driver was a lovely fellow with reasonable English. He spoke knowledgeably about the sights and took us to a restaurant that was reasonably priced. Happy to deviate to show us sights not on the main drag, he also told us that he was happy to stop for photos along the way. Our trip was from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and took around 5 hours with stops. The vehicle was one of those luxury cars with seats that had arm rests and loads of leg room. He supplied us with water. Would recommend this company to anyone.
