You'll pass by some of the floating villages, witnessing firsthand the unique architectural ingenuity of homes, schools, and even pagodas built to adapt to the lake's dramatic rise and fall in water levels. While this tour focuses on the sunset experience, you'll still gain glimpses into the resilient communities whose lives are intricately woven with the rhythms of this remarkable lake, observing their unique way of life from the comfort of your boat.

As the late afternoon light softens, your boat will position itself to offer the most spectacular views for the sunset. You'll be mesmerized as the sky transforms into a vibrant canvas of fiery oranges, soft pinks, and deep purples, reflecting magnificently on the calm waters of the lake. This truly breathtaking spectacle creates an atmosphere of unparalleled tranquility and beauty, providing endless photographic opportunities.

During this magical golden hour, you'll be treated to a selection of refreshing Cambodian drinks, which might include local beers, soft drinks, and fresh fruit juices. Accompanying your beverages will be a delightful array of canapés, featuring local flavors and ingredients, carefully prepared to enhance your sunset experience. This allows you to savor the moment in comfort and style, sharing the serene beauty with your small group of fellow travelers.

Your knowledgeable guide will be on hand throughout the cruise, offering insightful commentary about the lake's ecosystem, the lives of the villagers, and the local traditions. They will answer your questions, ensuring you gain a deeper appreciation for this incredible natural wonder and the people who call it home.

As the last rays of sunlight fade and the stars begin to emerge, your boat will gently return to shore. This Small Group Sunset Cruise on Tonle Sap Lake with Cambodian Drinks and Canapés is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, couples, and anyone seeking a serene, beautiful, and authentic evening experience in Siem Reap.

Day: Small Group Sunset Cruise on Tonle Sap Lake with Cambodian drinks and Canape
Start the tour at 2:30 PM as we pick you up at your hotel variable between 2 am and 2:30 pm. We will drive south of Siem Reap towards the Tonle Sap quay and stop en route to visit Wat Athvea.  This pagoda is a 12th century temple dedicated to Vishnu and is relatively in a good state of preservation.  Even though the temple has not been completed, one will recognize its resemblance to Angkor Wat architecture.  Wat Athvea is, in fact, used as a training ground for workers whose hands would later build the Angkor Wat.  As the temple is located outside the regular Angkor Wat Complex, it is less frequented by tourists, making it a perfect place to enjoy peace and quiet in the late afternoon.
Upon arrival at the quay, we’ll then board a local boat for a pleasant ride onto the Tonle Sap Lake, passing through the floating village of Chong Kneas.  Along the way, take a glimpse of daily life at the floating village, while sailing through brightly colored floating households, schools, clinics, sports hall and even pig farms. 
We will continue past the village until we reach the extensive waterscape of Tonle Sap Lake.  The immense lake expands to 16,000 km² during the wet season, making it the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia.  Stretching across the northwest portion of Cambodia, the lake serves as a major source of fish in the entire country of Cambodia.  Apart from being an essential source of food for Cambodians, the lake and its floodplains also serves as important habitat for several species of water birds and other aquatic animals.  Learn from your expert guide about the unique flow cycle of Tonle Sap Lake and how it affects upstream Mekong River and downstream Mekong River traversing Vietnam. 
Enjoy being in a secluded spot on the lake and take in the peace and scenery while admiring the sky as it change into sunset colors. Watch sunset with Cambodian Canape and beers or soft drinks before returning to the port for a transfer back to town. Return to the port after sunset and head back to Siem Reap by car and drop off at pub street.
