Itinerary
At Kampong Phluk we hop in a boat and explore, taking in the beautiful waterways and charming houses on stilts. In dry season you'll be able to see the watermarks on the beams showing how high the waters rise, and in wet season you'll see the villagers and fishermen going about their business by boat.
Going out on the Tonle Sap itself is a deeply calming experience thanks to the still waters meeting the horizon as far as you can see. We round off the day with a drink (and dinner, if you wish) at a traditional floating restaurant to watch the sun set over the lake.

Our sunset tour to Kampong Phluk was one of the highlights of our time in Siem Reap
Our sunset tour to Kampong Phluk was one of the highlights of our time in Siem Reap. More than just a sightseeing trip, it was a powerful reminder of how different communities live, work, and thrive in harmony with nature. Our children absolutely loved the experience. Travelling through the flooded forest, seeing the remarkable stilt houses, and watching local families go about their daily lives gave them a genuine appreciation for the resilience, simplicity, and beauty of this unique community. It sparked conversations that no classroom could ever teach. The boat ride across Tonlé Sap at sunset was breathtaking, with peaceful scenery and incredible colours across the water. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience engaging from start to finish. If you are visiting Siem Reap, I highly recommend this tour. It is not only beautiful but also humbling, offering a deeper understanding of Cambodia's people, culture, and way of life. An experience our family will remember for many years.
