Kampong Phluk Floating Village
The Tonle Sap one of the world’s most productive bodies of fresh water. In the wet season, the Tonle Sap Lake swells to 12,000 km². During the dry half of the year, the lake shrinks to as small as 2,500 km², draining into the Tonle Sap River. Each year, millions of fish come to spawn in the seasonally flooded forest surrounding the lake, attracting a myriad of water birds as well as people, who have settled in villages along the shores and who live with the rhythm of the water. This ecosystem was classified as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997. Take a boat trip to ‘Kampong Phluk’ a collection of three small fishing villages in an atmospheric flooded forest setting. Cruise through the village and see unique houses on stilts, and Cambodians at work in the floating forest. Our boat will meander slowly through forest canals, allowing you to catch glimpses of flora and fauna, and see a truly beautiful eco-system.

Relaxing fishing village Tonle Sap tour

5.00We had a fun time today half-day tour, on a trip to Tonle sap. It included market walk, boat ride, walk through fishing village and floating restaurant stop. Our guide Sopheap Rath kept us entertained throughout with stories about Cambodia and village life. We went to a school at the village and spoke to the children there who were learning English. Our driver Ra Da kept cold towels and cold water ready for us, he drove very well which was an hour return trip through scenic countryside.
Brilliant tour

5.00This was a brilliant tour. We loved our guide, he was so knowledgeable and interesting throughout. Ever thought we were in dry season we still saw everything and found the village so welcoming and interesting to look round. Small warning if your whole group don’t want to go in the forest you don’t go in the forest. But we looked at it from the edge. Wasn’t a big deal but just something to be aware of.

Great afternoon tour to Floating Village and Tonle Sap

5.00We had a private afternoon tour with our guide Lucky and driver Song – and were absolutely thrilled. The two were on time, super organized and made us feel good from the start. Lucky has an incredible amount of background knowledge, not only about the Floating Village, but also about culture, everyday life and history in Cambodia. Everything was explained very clearly, and we could ask questions at any time. The tour was fun, relaxed and informative at the same time. We can absolutely recommend Lucky & Song!
A magnificent walk

5.00We loved this ride. 2 hours boat to visit floating villages Count $23 per person (not CB). The site is beautiful and surprising Of course, floating traders will come to offer you notebooks and pens to distribute to children at abusive prices but there is no need. It's part of the game
Fantastic trip to see local way of life

5.00This tour was fantastic , giving an insight into the life of those living and working on the lake and inlet. Our guide Sorphorn Tuon explained so much about the culture, history and how the environment changes over the year. Any question we had, he answered. We visited a local market, which showed authentic sights, sounds and daily life, followed by the lake tour. Additionally, we decided to be shown the mangroves and get to know the stilt village more intimately. A great experience with a fantastic guide and driver. Top marks from me!
