Tonle Sap Floating Village: Sunset Vespa Tour

This sunset Vespa tour combines the thrill of countryside riding with an authentic glimpse into life on Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake. You'll travel as a passenger on a Vespa driven by a local expert, weaving through rice paddies and rural villages before reaching the remarkable floating community of Kompong Pluk on Tonle Sap Lake.

The tour takes you far beyond Siem Reap's temple circuit into Cambodia's rural heartland.
