Small Group Sunset Cruise on Tonle Sap Lake with canape

Immerse yourself in Cambodian culture and join us for a pleasant sunset cruise on Tonle Sap Lake with a small group.

Start the tour at 2:30 PM as we pick you up at your hotel variable between 2 am and 2:30 pm. We will drive south of Siem Reap towards the Tonle Sap quay and stop en route to visit Wat Athvea, a 12th-century temple built by the same workers who have helped put up the Angkor Wat, although this spot is much less touristy! We will then take the boat ride through Chong Kneas floating village where you will get a chance to see village life along Tonle Sap’s floodplains. Enjoy a tranquil sunset at a secluded spot in the lake while enjoying a sip of local drinks. At the end of the tour, we take you back to your hotel after sunset.

The immense Tonle Sap Lake expands to 16,000 km² during the wet season, making it the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia. Stretching across the northwest portion of Cambodia, the lake serves as a major source of fish in the entire country of Cambodia. Apart from being an essential source of food for Cambodians, the lake and its floodplains also serves as important habitat for several species of water birds and other aquatic animals. Learn from your expert guide about the unique flow cycle of Tonle Sap Lake and how it affects upstream Mekong River and downstream Mekong River traversing Vietnam.
