We got to see a very special part of Cambodia including an intimate look at how the people in the village live. The sunset lake cruise was wonderful and we’d like to thank Mang for making a short trip to Siem Reap into something truly special we will never forget.”

8.Kompong Phluk Floating Village Half-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 966 reviews · 6 hours · from $24

Travel 30 kilometers from Siem Reap to Kompong Phluk, stopping at a local market and pagoda before touring the stilted village by motorboat. An English-speaking guide explains Cambodian village life, and from October to January you can add a rowing boat through the flooded forest for $5 per person. Small groups are limited to 10.

“It was a fantastic tour. Nara is very knowledgeable and was able to explain significantly more than just the tour stops - learned all about Cambodia, its history and its culture. Good value for money. Only thing to improve is that we spent a long time (about an hour) in the restaurant waiting to see the sunset and then we only rode the boat like 5 minutes towards it, so it felt a bit like a waste of time.”

“An was a delightful smiley,funny and informative guide. Food was great. unlimited drinks. Boat Queen Tara was awesome. 100 years old and full of character. Pretty special lying on an hammock in the sun listening to the water. All I will say is the boat was virtually empty which is sad I would really encourage people to do this trip as it is a unique experience.”
