An open-top military jeep on the dirt roads other vehicles can't take: through the rice fields and the villages, past the ox carts, to the boat landing at Kompong Khleang or Kompong Phluk. Then the community boat through the village and out onto Tonle Sap Lake. Each jeep takes up to 4 guests. If your group is larger, no worries: we add another jeep at a discounted rate.

Good to know
How much is it?
$245 for one jeep with up to 4 guests, everything included: the jeep and driver, your guide, the boat tickets, and at Kompong Phluk the flooded forest canoe too. Each extra jeep for up to 4 more guests is $150.
How many people fit in a jeep?
Up to 4 guests plus the driver. For five or more we bring a second jeep, $150 each.
Is it bumpy or dusty?
The back roads are dirt, so it can get a little dusty in the dry season, but the windscreen protects you from most of it. The ride is comfortable for all ages, including babies and older guests.
What about rain?
We still go, rain or shine. The jeeps have a roof that goes up in minutes if it rains.
Is the jeep the whole way?
Yes. We take the jeep to and from the village. The rest of the trip is the boat ride.
How long is the tour?
About 6 hours, from an 8:30 am pickup to about 2:30 pm back at your hotel. It does not include sunset; if you would like to stay for it, mention it in the notes when you book.
