Our tour guide was Tola. I think there were about 18 people in total. I was the only Japanese person, and the rest were from English-speaking countries or countries where people speak English fluently. I can speak some English, but if you're not confident in your English skills, it might be a bit difficult. The explanations were all in English, of course, and even the decision of whether or not to take a boat through the mangroves was handled with a simple "Anyone here by themselves want to ride?" So if you didn't raise your hand, you wouldn't have been able to ride. There was one other person who wanted to ride, so the two of us went together. It's apparently $11 per pair. Only four of us on the tour took the boat, but it was worth it. At first, I thought it was just going to be a continuous ride through the mangroves, and I wondered if it was really necessary, but the best part was going near the homes of people who live on the water. Before that, we walked around the town a bit, but it was a quick tour with everyone together, so it wasn't very satisfying. So I was glad we could get closer by boat. The people who didn't take the boat just sat and waited in front of the same shop for about 30 minutes while we were on the boat. Tola's guidance was easy to understand, and I learned a lot of new things, so it was great. He also asked if we wanted him to take photos. Thank you :)

I had a very nice tour to Kompong Phluk. Beside village and area around it. Also how different it is during the year regarding the rain season. Thanks a lot to our tour guide Phyrom Hoeum. He explained everything very detailed about the whole trip, the area, the village, the people and done other background information of Cambodia. He helped the whole group the get to know of each other and was interested in everyone’s trip and personal life. Highly recommend the trip and our tour guide.

I had a truly wonderful experience on the Kompong Phluk Floating Village Half-Day Tour. I was the only participant that day, and it felt like a private, personalized experience. My guide, Phyrom, was fantastic — incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and enthusiastic throughout the entire tour.
He took the time to explain everything in detail, shared stories about local life and culture, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and meaningful. There was no sense of being rushed at any point — I could take my time to enjoy the views, ask questions, and take photos.
The floating village and mangrove forest were stunning, but what really made the tour special was Phyrom’s genuine interest and energy. It felt less like a tour and more like an inspiring conversation with someone who truly cares about the place and its people.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for an insightful, authentic, and unhurried experience!

Good tour and guide! The guide explains some details during the trip and was very nice. But since the tour was made during the dry season the lake is very low. It is good, and let us see with more detail the village but that information should be on trip description. The price is a little high for the experience.

Take a boat tour of the village, and you can optionally (USD 11 for two people) switch to a smaller boat to enter the mangroves. The small boat ride is approximately 30 minutes and allows you to observe the daily life of the locals more closely. Thanks to our guide, Nara, for the friendly and detailed explanation.

It was a great experience. Watching the sunset on the lake was especially amazing. It was an English tour, but the guide spoke Japanese, which was great.
