    A fun tour with breathtaking views.

    Our guide was named Thom, my partner Lewis and I rate Thom as our best tour guide in Siem Reap. Thom was friendly, knowledgeable and very generous, paying for quite a few treats for us to eat. It was through Thom's generously that we got to taste the best local food snacks. I highly recommend the dried banana with dried lime leaves (the best I have ever tasted). Swimming at the Waterfalls was so refreshing and lots of fun. We enjoyed the views from the Kulen Mountains. Lunch at the restaurant was lovely. All round it was a great tour.

    Simply outstanding

    This tour was simply fenomenal. We booked it online before coming out and I knew it would be good, but I had no idea that it would be this fabulous. Our guide Nak pick up and drop off were flawless and in a very comfortable van. Our guide, Nak was very knowledgeable, engaging, considerate and kind. This was a half-day trek that included seven family members, and we were all very happy with the entire process. We recommend this and this guide very highly.

    Wonderful tour with Nak

    This was such an amazing experience, our guide Nak as well as our driver were incredibly kind and informative and made this tour wonderful! We learned so much, pickup and dropoff was smooth and easy, and Nak taught us so much about the history and culture. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful! This was definitely a highlight of our trip.

    The Best "PowerPoint" I’ve Ever Seen (Made of Dirt and Sticks!)

    We had an amazing trip to Kulen Mountain and Waterfall with Chenda and Lis. Chenda is a master of his domain when it coes to Khmer history. He was always ready with answers to our curiosity. When we reached the 1000 lingas Chenda drew a map in the dirt showing how the river how it flows into Siem Reap and its temples, along with the time periods of the temples. That presentation in the dirt was a master class it was like a powerpoint presentation with just dirt and sticks and impeccable details all drawn under a shaded tree. Lis was courteous and helpful during the trip together they made a memorable memory for us

    Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.

    How much does Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.

    Is Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 239 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours?

    +

    Around 84 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kulen Waterfall & 1000 Linga River Small-Group Tours start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kampong Phluk Floating Village Tour by Boat, Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, Angkor Wat Sunrise & 3 Main Temples – Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siem Reap?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
