Kompong Phluk Floating Village Private Half-Day Tour

Jack, our English speaking tour guide, was amazing, as well as the driver. They showed up slightly earlier than scheduled. When found out that we were in the lobby waiting, they immediately picked us up and started the excursion. Though I didn’t realize when booking that this would be a private tour. They communicated about the $22/pp boat ride beforehand so there was no surprises. Jack also suggested us to take the canal ride which was $11/boat and fit up to 2 ppl. The entire experience was magical and you really got to get a glimpse of how people live. Jack was also helpful in answering all kinds of questions. Would definitely use him again for tours!

Our guide Captain Jack was awesome! He was super knowledgeable, funny and entertaining for the whole 6 hour tour. Bus was comfy and we were supplied with endless amounts of cold drinking water. Our driver, Mr James Bond was very good also. Would highly recommend

We booked an afternoon trip to a floating village about 40 minutes from central Seim Reap. Our guide Praim arrived on time, introduced himself and personally drove us to the village -Kompong Phluk. During the ride Praim candidly answered our questions about recent changes in Seim Reap and how recently the community at Kompong Phluk opened itself to the public. He was knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful in his responses and willing to accommodate several of our requests. We felt prepared for what we encountered at the floating village because of our conversation with Praim. Our car was only allowed so far, at which point we boarded a small motorized boat that took us to the center of Kompong Phluk some 20 minutes away. The stilted homes flanked the boats path and the entire community was on display. At the center of town we walked around because the road had not yet been submerged by the 7 feet of water brought by the rains. We then boarded a smaller boat and were paddled throughout a lagoon before viewing a pen where crocodiles were bread and raised. Our original boat took us out toward the open waters, but it began to rain and the water got very choppy; we leisurely returned to our car. Regardless of the water level throughout Kompong Phluk, visiting is a once in a lifetime experience. This small village will not remain as it is forever. Take advantage of the opportunity to see it as it is, while you can. Thank you Priam for an excellent tour!
