Siem Reap Tonle Sap & Floating Village Half-Day Tour with Transfers

The Floating Village and Tonle Sap tour with guide Meng and driver Sal was an exceptionally good experience. Meng did so well sharing Cambodian life and what it is really like living in a Floating Village. Being able to walk a Village and see kids at play, learning English was a bonus. You will not regret doing the Mangrove boat tour either and it supports local families....so, so good!

What a fabulous tour, led by Meng and our driver James Bond ! my husband and i thoroughly enjoyed this tour, we weren’t sure what to expect but were pleasantly surprised. We were collected by mini bus and driven to the boat, we then explored the floating village, even though it was the dry/winter season you could see where the water rose too and imagine the village as it would be in the rainy season. We then walked around the village seeing how they lived, the schools and shops etc. Then back on the boat to our next stop where we took canoes which were paddled by women through the mangroves. we then stopped at a floating restaurant/bar to watch the sun starting to set. What an amazing tour thank you to Meng 5 stars from us, would definitely recommend this trip, great contrast to th temples of Angkor Wat.

Our tour guide Happy Tear and driver Micheal is super professional! Happy Tear is so funny and full of local knowledge (he once was a local fisherman) and speaks fantastic English. He can answer all questions I ask with super patience and details. Floating village is one of my favourite because our guide!

My family and I went on this half-day tour with Jack, our tour guide. Jack was extremely accomodating and friendly, ensuring that we were comfortable the entire time. He was very knowledgeable about the village’s historic aspects and communicated well with our tour group. We took a small group tour, and the eight of us took a bus to the floating village and a boat to a restaurant on the water. We really liked the small group setting as it helped us to feel more heard and at ease. Jack was super helpful and answered all of our questions!

It was a nice tour to visit Kampong Phluk during dry season as we get the privilege of entering and seeing the village on foot. We were told that the only possible way to visit the village is by boat during the wet season as everything will be flooded. The boat ride to Tonle Sap was also an enjoyable one. Meng (our guide) and Handsome (driver) were fantastic in managing the group. Meng was very kind and funny as well. The information that he delivered about the lives in the floating village was really eye-opening.

Thanks to our friendly guide Mr Happy Tear and Driver Mr James Bond for taking good care of us on this memorable trip. was fascinating to see the floating village lifestyle during the dry season, houses on stilts are amazing and it shows how adaptable we as humans can be. sunset on the lake was beautiful and you can even order croc or snake at the restaurant on a lake (big bottles of Cambodia are a must!)

It was a wonderful experience visiting Kampong Phluk during the dry season, as we had the unique opportunity to walk through the village on foot. We were informed that during the wet season, the only way to visit the village is by boat since the entire area becomes flooded, which made this experience even more special. The boat ride to Tonle Sap was also very enjoyable and offered beautiful views along the way . Our guide, Meng, and the driver were fantastic in managing the group. Meng was especially kind, humorous, and engaging throughout the tour. The information he shared about life in the floating village was truly eye opening and gave us a deeper understanding of the local community. What stood out most was his warm personality, he even gave sweets to the children in the village, showing his genuine kindness. He treated us like family and went the extra mile to take photos for us, making the experience even more memorable. I would definitely recommend Meng and his team for anyone.

The tour route, along with our guide Meng and the driver, was absolutely fantastic, and we had an amazing time. Meng is very kind and truly a master at making everyone in the group enjoy themselves. We enjoyed a comfortable breeze on the boat’s open deck while exploring the floating village, paddled through the mangroves by canoe, and stopped by a shop to buy souvenirs and have a light snack — it was such a full and satisfying tour. I highly recommend this tour if you want something other than temple visits! I would love to join again. Thank you so much!

Kampong Phluk and Tonle Sap are definitely two of the iconic spots you have to visit when you go to Siem Reap. Our guide, Meng, made sure that we had a great experience. Definitely, highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic! This was the best tour I've ever been on! Our guide, Jack, made the entire trip even better with his perfect explanations and humorous conversation. Everything was perfect, from the bus hotel shuttle to the chartered boat in the middle of the vast lake to watch the sunset! On-site, you can purchase an optional boat ride provided by local residents. Slowly paddle through the aquatic forests and villages, the scenery along the way is incredibly beautiful, highly recommend adding this on! The pace of the trip was perfect, a must-do!
