Boat & River Experiences

Rivers and the great Tonle Sap lake are central to Cambodian life. Boat experiences range from short sunset cruises to visits to floating communities and longer river journeys.

Top Experiences

• Tonle Sap floating villages (Kampong Phluk, Chong Kneas and others) — choose responsible operators.
• Mekong river trips, including dolphin watching near Kratie.
• Kampot River sunset cruises.
• Mangrove boat tours in Koh Kong.
• Island ferries and coastal boat trips in the south.
• Seasonal longer river boats between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap (when operating).

Tips

Support community-based tourism initiatives. Early morning or late afternoon often provide the best light and atmosphere. Always wear a life jacket when provided.
