Sunset Cruise on Tonle Sap Lake – Private Tour

Hotel Pickup & Countryside Drive

Depart from your hotel at 3:00 PM and head south of Siem Reap toward the peaceful countryside. 

Wat Po Banteay Chey and Lotus Silk Farm

Begin at Wat Po Banteay Chey, one of the oldest and most respected pagodas along the Siem Reap River. Explore peaceful grounds decorated with vivid murals and carvings, including rare scenes from the Ramayana, and enjoy the temple’s calm atmosphere where Buddhist and Hindu traditions blend beautifully.

Continue to a Lotus Silk Farm, where you can see how silk is carefully extracted from lotus stems to create one of the world’s rarest and most sustainable textiles. Watch artisans weave delicate fabrics using traditional techniques, offering an inspiring look at Cambodia’s craftsmanship and eco-friendly innovation.

Chong Kneas Floating Village and Sunset

Cruise by private wooden boat through Chong Kneas Floating Village, where homes, schools, shops, and even floating pig farms rest on the water. As you pass through this remarkable community, your guide will explain how life adapts to the lake’s dramatic seasonal rise and fall, including the unique flow reversal of the Tonlé Sap River and its connection to the Mekong.

Continue out onto the open water for a peaceful Tonlé Sap sunset. Enjoy a cold beer or soft drink as the sky turns gold and orange, reflected across the vast lake. The quiet breeze, wide horizon, and gentle motion of the boat create a serene and memorable end to the day.

Return to Siem Reap – Hotel

After sunset, your boat will return to the quay, where your driver awaits. You’ll be transferred back to your hotel or any location of your choice within Siem Reap city center, ending your unforgettable evening by the water.
