Siem Reap Boat tours

The bus arrived at the hotel to pick me up at around two o'clock. After reaching the destination, I boarded a double-decker boat. I was the only Asian in the tour group of over twenty people. The tour guide was a local who spoke English—a very kind person who shared a lot of information and even helped take photos for me, for which I am truly grateful. The itinerary was incredibly interesting, and watching the sunset at the center of the lake became one of the most unforgettable memories of my life.

Our tour guide was Tola. I think there were about 18 people in total. I was the only Japanese person, and the rest were from English-speaking countries or countries where people speak English fluently. I can speak some English, but if you're not confident in your English skills, it might be a bit difficult. The explanations were all in English, of course, and even the decision of whether or not to take a boat through the mangroves was handled with a simple "Anyone here by themselves want to ride?" So if you didn't raise your hand, you wouldn't have been able to ride. There was one other person who wanted to ride, so the two of us went together. It's apparently $11 per pair. Only four of us on the tour took the boat, but it was worth it. At first, I thought it was just going to be a continuous ride through the mangroves, and I wondered if it was really necessary, but the best part was going near the homes of people who live on the water. Before that, we walked around the town a bit, but it was a quick tour with everyone together, so it wasn't very satisfying. So I was glad we could get closer by boat. The people who didn't take the boat just sat and waited in front of the same shop for about 30 minutes while we were on the boat. Tola's guidance was easy to understand, and I learned a lot of new things, so it was great. He also asked if we wanted him to take photos. Thank you :)

very nice organized Tour. you get everything in this tour. the floating village, River, Lake, mangrove Forest and sunset. good guide and great experience

The hotel transfer was smooth, and they call you when waiting in the hotel lobby. After sailing on Tonle Sap Lake for a while, you can see stilt houses and land in the village. The villagers are very friendly, and the children are playing energetically. The sight of innocent children, which cannot be seen in Japan, is very impressive. You leave the village to coincide with the sunset, stop the boat engine on Tonle Sap Lake, and slowly enjoy the beautiful sunset. It was a very fulfilling tour. If I ever come to Siem Reap again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.
