Itinerary

Our guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in Siem Reap between 7:30–8:00 AM and transfer you to the cycling point just outside the city. After a tour briefing, safety instructions, and bike fitting, begin your scenic ride along the Siem Reap Riverside, where locals gather for breakfast and coffee. As you cycle further into the countryside, experience authentic village life—see farmers tending vegetable gardens, weaving vines into baskets, planting rice, and caring for cows and water buffalos.

After riding about 15 km, arrive at a welcoming Khmer traditional house, where your hosts, Ron and Sina, will guide you through their garden before leading a hands-on 45-minute cooking class. Together you’ll prepare three delicious Khmer dishes, then sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve created. Relax in a hammock before continuing by bike to the Tonle Sap Lake pier.

From here, board a local boat for a scenic journey to Mechrey Floating Village, a vibrant community of floating houses, schools, and shops. At our kayak station, take a short break, freshen up, and gear up for your kayaking adventure through tranquil mangroves and out to the open waters of Tonle Sap Lake. Paddle gently while listening to the sounds of birds and the jungle, and watch local fishermen at work.

After your kayaking session, return by boat to the pier, where your driver will be waiting to take you back to Siem Reap. The tour ends around 6:00 PM, offering a full day of cycling, cooking, culture, and kayaking—a perfect blend of adventure and authentic Cambodian life.
