We go to visit an intimate view into the locals’ lives, where you’ll get opportunities to meet and converse with villagers and learn about the sustainable village. Learn how the village changes during dry and wet seasons, with locals traveling to work and school by boat when water levels rise. Great for avoiding overrun tourist destinations Marvel at iconic Cambodian landscapes of mangroves and stilt houses Complimentary. Most families live on the lake shore in brightly colored houses on long poles, so the high-water levels are not a problem during the rainy season. Totally you can see floating village, school, pagoda, floating forests and sunset, it's a very nice sunset at the lake on the boat. After that we take you back to your hotel or you can tell the driver to drop you of at the market or Pub Street.

Amazing time
The tour guide was very enthusiastic, the explanation was very detailed. I was annoyed the floating village tour is a short course and it's their home. I highly recommend this tour.
Operator response
Dear Carl, Thank you so much for your kind words and for recommending our tour! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and appreciated our enthusiastic guide and detailed explanations. Kampong Phluk is indeed a unique and living community, and we’re glad you had the opportunity to witness everyday life on the water. We understand your point about the tour being shorter than expected since it takes place in a real village where people live and work, we always try to balance respect for the local community with giving visitors a meaningful and insightful experience. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future! Warm regards, Reservation manager
