This half-day group tour begins with hotel pickup in Siem Reap either in the morning or afternoon. After about a 45-minute drive, the group arrives at Kampong Phluk, a fishing village near Tonle Sap Lake known as the 'harbor of the tusks.' The village features houses built on high stilts and some floating homes. Visitors will see the pagoda resting on the only butte in the area, the sole structure not elevated on stilts. Guests will board a shared local boat for roughly a 1.5-hour ride across Tonle Sap Lake and through the village. The guide explains the villagers' lifestyle, culture, and how the ecosystem supports them. The lake appears endless, with birds flying overhead and wetlands surrounding the village. During the dry season from February to July, the village is accessible by mini bus or motorbike via a bumpy road that dries up. In the rainy season between August and January, a short boat ride through wetlands is needed to reach Kampong Phluk. At this time, an optional canoe ride is available for an additional fee, taking visitors deeper into the flooded forest where trees are submerged part of the year. The tour ends with a return drive to Siem Reap and hotel drop-off. The group size varies daily, and the tour includes an English-speaking guide, shared boat ride, cold bottled water, air-conditioned transport, and hotel transfers.
