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 cruisers, 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.We are the only ones doing this trip,but for the intrepid traveler it is the best way to explore Cambodia.

Wonderful trip on river Tonle Sap

Published on Apr, 2025

The service was perfect starting from being picked up from our hotel in Phnom Penh and delivered to our hotel in Siem Reap. In between we had a wonderful journey up river on a boat during which we were served an excellent lunch prepared in front of us. Sa Meth looked after us very well and with good English was a mine of information. This include a guided tour of a village that specialised in silver and copper artworks. We bought a lovely copper elephant for our daughter. He then handed us over to a driver of a most comfortable limosine for the rest of the journey.

One-way Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent river cruise with our guide Sameth on the river. Sameth is very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Lunch was nice and this trip was enjoyable despite it being the dry season which limited the river boat portion due to river depth. Obviously, seasonal rains are not within anyone’s control and we knew this by reading their website. Thoroughly enjoyable to see Cambodian communities along the journey and much better than flying from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.

Siem Reap to Phnom Pen

Published on Feb, 2025

We wanted to get from Siem Reap to phnom Pen but didn’t want to drive all the way. The Tara riverboat gave us the opportunity to cruise some of the journey. Through email correspondence we booked our place on the trip. We were picked up from our hotel in the morning by Var our driver. He spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable giving us interesting facts about Cambodia along the way. It took approximately 4hrs with a stop for refreshments. When we reached the port side to meet the boat, the transfer was seamless. The happy crew were waiting to take us and our luggage onboard. The boat was lovely and clean with sunny and shaded seating areas. Sameth our host prepared us some delicious food and beverages on request. He’s such a friendly man, very attentive and kind. He too spoke excellent English and again we chatted about the history of Cambodia and Khmer. The river trip also took around 4hrs. We felt the whole experience was very straightforward and enjoyable.

A unique, special way to travel from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh!

Published on Jan, 2025

When faced with the challenge of getting from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, we decided to do something different. Booking directly through the website was extremely easy - Peter was able to confirm our booking the same day. Our driver Dara was at our hotel early, and throughout the 4.5 hour car ride to the riverboat, he also made a couple of fun stops for us and filled us in on the local happenings. Travelling via private car was very comfortable and made for some good views of rural life. We then arrived to the Tomle Sap River and boat section of the trip right on time, where we were transferred into the hospitable care of Samath. With the whole crew keeping us safe and fed (lunch was delicious!), Samath in particular was really helpful in answering the many questions we had about life in Cambodia and keeping us entertained for the remaining 4.5 hour trip. We also made a really special stop to a temple en route to PP. All in all, we loved our time on the Tara River Boat. We would definitely recommend this trip to all in SR or PP!

Excellent tours

Published on Nov, 2024

We did the transfer from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh and also the floating village at sunset tour. In both instances, they were on time, efficient and friendly, providing knowledge as we went. The food was delicious. We couldn’t have asked for better tours. The one way transfer from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh was a definite highlight seeing the countryside compared to waiting at the airport and getting on a plane. Thank you also to Peter who promptly replied to my bookings and queries. Highly recommended.
