Seeing the mangroves on a little boat and later the sunset was amazing!
Our tour guide was also very nice and helpful, plus he truly tried to make our experience memorable.

Sarin is an amazing guide. And as a person who grew up in a floating village, he knows great stories to tell and knows everything about it. Really great tour. Even in the dry season, when the village isn't really floating yet.

Our guide, Mr Suddan (sic) was knowledgable and humourous and made the tour enjoyable. The local market tour was an eye-opener but the noonday heat was a bit overpowering. Unfortunately the rainy season had barely started during our tour so there was no floating village - we did get to see the houses built on stilts and how the locals chillaxed in the ubiquitous hammocks in the shady nooks beneath their houses. Boat ride to Tongle Sap lake was fun, we rode on a motorised wooden boat, chugging our way to the floating restaurants on the churning lake the colour of milk tea. Wouldn't mind coming back at the right time to explore the floating village. Overall the guide was really great!
