Overview

This private Kompong Phluk Floating Village tour is perfect for travelers who want a relaxed and authentic local experience without joining a large group. Your friendly local driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you to discover stilted houses, local fishing life, Tonle Sap Lake, and, depending on the season, the flooded mangrove forest and crocodile viewing area.

The tour offers two convenient start times: 8:30 AM for a peaceful morning visit or 3:00 PM for a beautiful afternoon atmosphere and possible sunset views. You can enjoy the village at your own pace, take photos when possible, and experience everyday Cambodian life away from the busy city.
