Tonle Sap, Kampong Phluk and Floating Village Tour
Full description
This is a 6-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Bus/coach, Kampong Phluk and Wat Kampong Phluk. It is run by Happy Angkor Tour Cambodia, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
The Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and it reverses direction twice a year: in the monsoon the Mekong pushes water back up the Tonle Sap river and the lake swells several times over, then drains again from about November. The villages on it live with that. Kampong Phluk's stilt houses stand six to ten metres up on their legs, dry underneath in March and wading depth in October; Kampong Khleang is larger, further out and far less visited; Chong Kneas is closest to Siem Reap and the most touristed. Which village works, and whether the boat can reach the flooded forest at all, depends entirely on the month.
The price covers Pickup and drop-off, English-speaking tour guide, Entrance fee, Big boat and Transportation by minibus. It does not cover Small boat, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Great tour to see the floating village and the flooding during the rainy season! Our guide Nuok was very kind and informative. Highly recommend!
We had a great day! Everything was well organized and went smoothly. The tour was very enjoyable, and we got to see some beautiful places and learn more about the local culture. Our guide, Nan, was very friendly, helpful and made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Guide Jack is very knowledgeable. Enlightened us all on the tourist spot. Behaved very friendly and displayed exceptional etiquettes. I wish Jack and James, the Driver too, all the Best.
This is an excellent trip. It’s a long 5 to 6 hours though with at least two hours in the small bus but worth it.
This was such a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our time in Cambodia. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and, beyond simply showing us the village, gave us a fascinating insight into the local culture, traditions, history and everyday life. He was warm, thoughtful and genuinely pleasant to spend the day with. The village itself was absolutely fascinating, and the whole experience felt authentic, meaningful and beautifully presented. We had such a lovely day, filled with memorable moments and a real sense of connection to Cambodia and its people. Cambodia had already found
Today was such a good day! The boat cruise through the mangroves was fantastic, and the whole experience was so much fun. We saw vfloating villiages and watched the sunset via the huge lake The mangrove boat tour was around $11 for the boat (about $5.50 each), which we thought was really reasonable. One tip: definitely bring your own bug spray, as the midges do like to bite! Our tour guide, Nan, was incredibly helpful, friendly and informative, and really added to the experience. We brought our two children along, and they absolutely loved it. They enjoyed talking to the local children, seeing
We had a great tour of the floating village. Our guide (Nan) was very informative and took us of a short walking tour of the village. We then went on a short boat ride in the mangroves (note this is an extra $5.5 but worth it), then had a break at a floating cafe before getting back on the boat to watch the sunset before heading home. Would definitely recommend - thanks!
I had the tour with Meng and Mr. John Wick. The tour was really great, Meng is very knowledgeable and entertaining. Visiting the floating village is very emotional because you see how people still leave there, and you start to appreciate life more and more Great tour, totally recommend it
Our guide Meng was fantastic. Very competent and friendly, he made the day a pleasure. It was great to get out of the city and see the floating village, the mangroves and Tonle Sap lake where we had lunch on a floating restaurant. Be aware that at this time of year the floating village is dry and the booking clearly states that. it is still picturesque and has lots of character. I recommend this tour. Very well organised and ticked lots of boxes for me. Thank you Meng and also our driver.
Nan was our guide and explain detailed all information about the downtown, their life, culture and actual situation. This visit moved me deeply. Nan make a great job.
We had a great day, it was really interesting hearing about the communities and as it was out of reading season we got to go a bit closer and see how they lived and worked. Meng was knowledgeable sharing personal stories and was so enthusiastic.
Very chilled and laid back tour. We went in the low season so not quite floating but was nice to get a view of authentic village life. Good value for money despite not the right season.
