Kompong Phluk Floating Village Half-Day Tour ( Morning / Sunset ) - Hotel pickup and the ride from Siem Reap

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,494 reviews · from $24Our pick

Explore Kompong Phluk from Siem Reap by minivan and boat, with stilt homes, a local market, pagoda, flooded forest, and sunset views.

“It was interesting to see the village on sticks and how they lived their life. The reason it gets 3 stars as they drew the experience out to 4+ hours to justify the cost of the trip. The tour was also designed to try and sell you things throughout. The tour guide was fine. If you don’t mind over paying for an experience then go for it otherwise do some research when you get to there and I am sure you can pay a lot less for the same thing”
