The experience

What to expect

Prek Toal is one of Southeast Asia’s most important breeding areas for large waterbirds. The full-day journey crosses Tonle Sap by boat before entering flooded forest with specialist guides and local conservation rangers who track colonies of storks, pelicans, ibises, darters and other wetland species. A floating-village visit or paddle-boat experience may also be included.

Sam Veasna Conservation Tours currently lists its Tonle Sap Waterbirds and Floating Village Adventure at about 11 hours 30 minutes from US$295. Community boat services, ranger expertise and conservation contributions support protection of the sanctuary. Water levels, navigation routes and bird concentrations change seasonally, so confirm departure arrangements and current inclusions before booking.
