Best Tour!!! - I booked this tour because I really wanted to visit the bird sanctuary, which we did! Amazing boat ride to get there! Great views of storks, pelicans, herons and shags in the rookeries. Adventurous climb up a rickety ladder to the viewing platform! However, this tour turned out to be much more! Visiting the floating villages, watching women weave items out of water hyacinth stems, eating at a home in the village (best meal we had in Cambodia!), were experiences that we will never forget! Mr. Sara, our wonderful guide, spoke excellent English and shared so much of life in Cambodia. He was very attentive and very gracious. Our driver was extremely careful while driving and very polite and thoughtful. We highly recommend this tour!

Floating villages are a unique experience - Liep, our guide, was excellent. Love seeing the floating village and the cache where we watched the birds. The boat rides were very interesting and felt safe.

Very nice trio in reserve - The landscapes and birds were magnificent. The Leap guide was very kind and helpful throughout the trip. The drivers and attendants at the park were also great. Simple, professional and caring to give us access to this very beautiful reserve.

A wonderful and thought provoking day - An amazing day seeing the life of the floating village and hundreds of multiple species of birds in the sanctuary. The sanctuary was so peaceful and finally we got to see a part of Cambodia that wasn’t littered with plastic!

A wonderful day out! - An amazing trip to the bird sanctuary. We saw hundreds of birds of many many species in a beautiful environment. We had lunch in a wonderful floating village homestead. The boat journey was fantastic through the waterways and floating villages. Our guide Sok was helpful and informative and a really nice person. The driver Paeap was equally professional and kind. We highly recommend this trip.

A flight on the water, your head in the clouds…. - A magnificent day in the company of Sara and Mr. Ry, from start to finish, a total change of scenery. Small boat trips, discovery of the local mangrove, birds… incredible. We recommend it without hesitation! Lunch in a small floating village was delicious. Go there with your eyes closed, you will in no way be disappointed.

Private birding tour at Prek Toal - Absolutely fantastic. Arranged a private birding tour at the Prek Toal bird preserve at Tonle Sap and the driver, guide and boat operators were all friendly and helpful. Guide stayed with me as long as I wanted at the observation tower watching the birds, he spoke English and was great. Would strongly recommend.

Incredible places and amazing tours - Hokly was the perfect tour guide for this incredible place. The bird watching from the tree house hide was brilliant, but hanging out at also at Prek Toal floating village, watching the world of the floating village go by and enjoying genuine Cambodian cuisine was something else! Please choose this local man trying to improve his community, over the big agencies. Thank you for a magical day...totally recommend.

Kampong Phluk is a truly interesting place - I went there with my mother, aunt and friends and truly enjoyed the trip. Our driver Deth and guide Soryar from About Cambodia Travel & Tours provided us with all information about the village and the Tonle Sap lake. Kampong Phluk happened to be his hometown, so he is very knowledgeable about the village. Moreover, he speaks very good English so we could communicate easily and therefore got all sorts of information that made the trip more meaningful. Kampong Phluk is a truly interesting place to visit. You can see a real Cambodian floating village and watch how locals do their activities on stilt houses and boats during the rainy season while their village is flooded. The canoe ride passing the mangrove trees around Kampong Phluk was certainly an enjoyable and memorable experience. I recommend tourists to come visit Kampong Phluk to feel the real Cambodian life.
