Tour Options
Itinerary
At Kampong Phluk we hop in a boat and explore, taking in the beautiful waterways and charming houses on stilts. In dry season you'll be able to see the watermarks on the beams showing how high the waters rise, and in wet season you'll see the villagers and fishermen going about their business by boat.
Going out on the Tonle Sap itself is a deeply calming experience thanks to the still waters meeting the horizon as far as you can see. We round off the day with a drink (and dinner, if you wish) at a traditional floating restaurant to watch the sun set over the lake.

I had an amazing experience on the Kampong Phluk floating village tour with Mr. Chout. Visiting the village was one of the most interesting and eye-opening experiences of my time in Cambodia. Mr. Chout was incredibly knowledgeable and explained so much about daily life on the floating village, from how families live and work to how the entire village changes between the dry and rainy seasons. What made the tour special was how he brought the community to life through his stories and explanations, helping us understand the challenges and traditions of the local people. It was fascinating to learn how dramatically the landscape transforms throughout the year and how residents adapt to those changes. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap. If you’re looking to go beyond the temples and gain a deeper understanding of Cambodian culture and local life, this is a must-do experience. Thank you, Mr. Chout, for such an informative, engaging, and memorable afternoon!
An amazing tour through the floating village. Tom was a fantastic guide. Thanks again
Absolutely amazing experience, Tom was the best guide who lived in the village himself and knew a lot of amazing facts about the place. The restaurant was beautiful and the views were amazing. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great day out!
Wow! It was such an incredible experience, big thank you to Tom our guide he had really good interesting facts about the floating village as he is from the village. And the amazing sunset view at the end. Loved it
Great experience with Tom, who was very friendly and explained everything including the difference between dry season (when I went) and wet season! Would definitely recommend
We visited the "floating" village during the dry season and is definitely worth it. We had Mr Sayon as a guide and he was amazing. We talked with local people, visited a kindergarten and took a boat to the lake. It is well organized.
Tom was our guide and he was excellent. He gVe very good information
