Over deze activiteit

The floating village is located less than 10 miles (15km) from Siem Reap. It is the perfect place to visit on Tonle Sap Lake for those that don't have the time to explore Prek Toal or Kompong Phluk.

This half-day tour of the floating village will begin at 8am or 10am (you can select which time you want to leave on booking) when you will be picked up from your hotel or guesthouse in an air-conditioned vehicle. Your friendly and knowledgeable tour guides speak English (and Khmer of course), and they will ensure that you enjoy your tour, pointing out areas of local interest along the way and answering any questions you may have. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the port near Phnom Krom, and upon arrival you will exit the vehicle and jump onto a smaller boat with life jackets and driven by experienced and safe local drivers.

On route to the main boat, you will pass the rice paddies and lotus fields, you will have an opportunity to stop and take some photos of the lotus flowers which are a deeply important flower in Buddhism (please note: Depending on the time of year the views of the lotus and rice fields will very).

The next stop will be the crocodile and fish farm (depending on current water levels) in the floating village where you will learn about some of the trades people on the lake work in. If catfish, crocodiles and large snakes don't interest you, there is a souvenir shop and a viewing deck on board for you to purchase some presents for loved ones or take a few photos.

The boat ride through the floating village will allow you to see ordinary Cambodians going about their daily life in the floating village. Fishermen, boat-makers, markets, schools, spirit houses and waving children are always in plentiful supply on this mesmerizing scenic route, and it is not uncommon for the scenery to provoke silence on the boat, as customers take in the sights and sounds that surround them. Once the trip through the floating village is complete, your boat will briefly enter the edge of the great lake before docking with the famous Queen Tara, in the heart of the floating village.

There, you will enjoy a well-deserved meal and 2 cold drinks. Afterwards, you can take a seat on the viewing deck and enjoy the magnificent scenery surrounding you. At about 11:15am (or 1:15pm for 10am start), you will leave the Queen Tara and head back to the port at Chong Khneas where your air-conditioned vehicle will be waiting to transport you directly home to your hotel or guesthouse.

This is the second time I have done this tour in 12 months, it was great both times. We were collected from our hotel and taken to the lotus flower farm. After that, we were taken to Tonle Sap lake to see the floating village which included the crocodile farm. We enjoyed a FANTASTIC lunch on board the Queen Tara boat, and then returned to our hotel. The guide we had was knowledgeable and attentive. The staff on the boat were great. I highly recommend this tour!

This tour is perfect if your not spending much time in Siem Reap. We went to the rice fields and then to the lake. It was a beautiful sail across the lake as we sat at the front of the boat through the floating village. We then saw crocodiles farm, held a snake and had lunch on a nearby boat.

Tonle Sap Lake is the seconde largest freshwater lake in the South East Asia. The month of April is the dry saison. The Lake is not beautiful at all, because the water is brownish and very dirty, the trash like the plastic bags and bottles were everywhere, plus the pollution by the tourism. The people live at the floating village is so poor. I can't enjoy this trip! We are the only 2 people at this tour, so this is like our private tour. The Tour guide, the minibus driver and the boat driver are very nice people. the Meal at boat is pretty good. On the route it was very hot, but we got our 2 cold water only at final stop.
