What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Kampong Phluk Floating Village, Siem Reap Cambodia
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.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Tonle Sap Lake, Lower Mekong Basin Cambodia
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.
Duration: 2 hours
