Phnom Penh Trip Overview
Water travel from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap has always been difficult due to the ever changing water levels on the Tonle Sap Lake, even in the wet season when the water levels are high enough you have other issues, such as storms on the lake that can make the crossing treacherous. Also the sheer boredom of crossing the lake as there is nothing to see apart from vast swathes of water.
These issues have been overcome by using the luxury, specially-designed double hulled cruiser, the Mekong Tara Prince (once owned by the Prince of Cambodia) or our Mekong Explorer,to cruise up the beautiful Tonle Sap River to Prek Kdam or the Mekong river to Roka Kaong (depending on weather conditions). Once there you will be transferred to a private, air-conditioned minivan to travel around the Lake to Siem Reap.
This way you get to see the awesome river and rural life on the river together with rural life on land.
