Tonle Sap's Living Heart: Unforgettable Floating Village Tour

Truly memorable experience of the floating village on the Tonlé Sap lake. I had a sprained ankle so felt intrepid about transfers to boats. I was actually so well cared for by Mony our guide with help from fellow traveller, Jason. Picked up in air con taxi from hotel, looked after throughout and returned to hotel door. The speciality of this Tour was a lunch on a beautiful restored 1920s Cambodian boat, moored alongside the floating village, where as well as a delicious lunch we had time (45 mins) to take it all in. Enjoyed conversation with Mony, learning more about local custom and culture. I really loved this experience and appreciated the social enterprise ethics of this particular company which align with my own values. I think it translates into the kind of experience you have with the staff who clearly live what they do and enjoy working for this company. I recommend this tour and this company in a heartbeat. I hope to go back without a sprained ankle. 🙏🏼

What a serene place and beautiful view of seeing little birds gliding through waters for a drink. Floating villages were awesome and do spend money in their shops to support them.

It was a very pleasant trip. Mr Friday is an excellent guide. He has gone extra miles to comfort us. I would recommend you to take this trip and visit the hidden gem of Siem Reap.

Very Nice half day on the water and seeing how those fishermen live Our guides ‘r Friday and the driver were great

Brilliant, enjoyable trip. Excellent, knowledgable, friendly and helpful guide. Guide was brilliant, extremely knowledgable and was so helpful in every way

The guide and driver were amazing. Lots of local information. Was international women’s Day. Stopped and picked lotus flowers. Seen alligators and the floating villages. Had lunch beer beer…It was great! A must see if you are in Seim Reap

We had a 3 hours boat trip to floating village Ching Kneas in Tong Le Sap area arranged by Tara Boat Tour. There are lotus farm, village people, crocodile farm along the road. The most impressing part was to met up with kids in the village. Would recommend to bring some candies / tidbits with you to send to the children. They are quite shy and smiley. Tour guide is Poss Poun( Mr Friday) who is also a teacher in the school, a sincere and kind hearted big boy. I would recommend this trip if you do not have the whole day for it. Do meet the village people, you won’t regret.

Our booking turned into a private tour for two when no one else booked, so it all aboard a tuk tuk with our guide, Tinh, for the trip out to Tonle Sap. Along the way, we stopped at a lotus farm, visited a local market and saw how local women were harvesting water hyacinth stems to weave into beautiful bags and baskets. Chugging through the floating villages and seeing how the lake sustains the villagers was fascinating The final highlight was our lunch stop. The beautiful 1929 ship Queen Tara, which we had all to ourselves while we enjoyed a basic but delicious meal. A great day out!

It was a pleasant activity to do for half a day. It included free water, rides in the boat and lunch.

This was a great tour, our guide and driver were here nice and early to pick us up. Our guide was super friendly and very helpful with lots of knowledge. Lovely lunch on the queen tara totally enjoyed.
