9.Kompong Phluk Floating Village Half-Day Tour

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

“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.”

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.”
