- Mechrey Floating Village - Our guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the starting point in Siem Reap. The tour begins with a transfer to the floating village on the vast Tonle Sap Lake. Here, we board a motorized boat that navigates through the canal’s dense vegetation en route to the Mechrey floating village. Upon arrival, we put on our safety gear and set off in our fiberglass kayaks. As you paddle gently through the floating village, you’ll be greeted by the warm smiles of the humble Cambodian residents who call this incredible lake home. We return to our Kayak Station (one of the floating houses in the Mechrey floating village) to enjoy snacks, drinks, and use the bathroom before taking another short transfer by motorized boat to the mangrove forest. Kayaking through the mangrove forest and bird-watching is the main highlight of this tour (during the low water season from March to June, we kayak in the open lake waters and watch the water birds instead). Your guide will also explain the local village customs and how the residents live, work, and trade before stopping at a perfect spot for a breathtaking Tonle Sap Lake sunset photo opportunity.

Lovely Kayaking tour - We had a lovely tour of the floating village and mangroves on the lake. The guide was excellent and everything was well organised. Perhaps the kayaking could be longer (45 min) and wish the operator offered a loner tour possibly with an overnight stay. Yet overall it was an excellent experience. I recommend it highly .

Loved it! - Zil was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided great customer service.
I’d say this type of tour is not for someone who isn’t comfortable in a kayak or an experienced paddler, but they may have tailored the experience to me since I’m comfortable on a kayak. It felt a little invasive paddling around people’s homes but there residents of the village were friendly, and the experience was insightful and respectful. Thanks for the great afternoon, Zil!
