General Info |
|
| |
Like a rare butterfly, Cambodia has emerged from a troubled past to show off its beauty. Away from the tourist trail to Angkor Wat, there is another country... a land of unspoilt virgin forest, rare orchids and fragrant frangipani, the startling colours and calls of birds of paradise, secretive jungle creatures and a perfumed air of peace and solitude. And in the midst of this ecological miracle you will find our environmentally friendly resort that captures the imagination while offering the luxury and high-end facilities of a four-star boutique resort. Peaceful seclusion, privacy, luxury, exclusivity... Leave your imagination at the door, because the Cardamoms will go beyond even your wildest expectations. |

Venturing from the camp, our trekking tours into the jungle offer you the chance to discover the customs, beliefs and natural cures of the inhabitants of the Cardamom Mountains and its forests. You can follow the spore of its secretive wildlife and experience the sights and sounds of an untouched tropical paradise. Witness one of the world’s largest rainforests. Rich in natural beauty, Tatai River is your highway to the wonders of the Cardamoms and Southeast Asia’s largest coastal mangrove. Kayak down river with our experienced local guide who will lead you through the mangrove waterways that reach back into the jungle. Indulge yourself with a hydro massage courtesy of the majestic Tatai Waterfalls, team up with some locals and try your hand at fishing for your supper or snuggle up with that special someone during our Sunset Cruise. The river is all things to all people, from trailblazers to romantics. |

Exterior Details |
Not that DVD movies, messages and recorded sound will be any match for the natural wonders you will witness from your private extra-large sun-lounger balcony where you can enjoy an afternoon snack or a sunset cocktail. And as the clock ticks on, maybe it’s spoil-yourself time with a refreshing dip in the river or a chance to lounge by the restaurant and enjoy the majestic colours of the setting sun.

Further Details |
The lush forested slopes of the Cardamoms are a perfect hiding place for the rare Javan rhinoceros, Indochinese tiger and Asian elephant. A sighting of one of these threatened species is worth 1,000 safaris anywhere else in the natural world. Gibbons sometimes serenade at sunrise and barking deer yelp at the edge of the jungle. Siamese crocodiles, once thought extinct, have also been seen in the rivers that criss-cross this magical haven. The resident birdlife is estimated at a staggering 553-plus species, although in all probability many will be added after more comprehensive surveys. A veritable twitchers' paradise, waders from storks to cranes inhabit its wetlands, song birds love its wooded slopes and the brahminy kite hovers overhead on the lookout for a meal. Among the rarest of sightings are the silver oriole and the great hornbill, which are thought to be on the brink of extinction.

What visitors have said about 4 Rivers Floating Lodge |
| |

We traveled to 4 Rivers as a family of five. There is so much to say... but essentially... it is very remote, it is very very peaceful, it is very well run and it is so worth the effort of getting there. Staff met us as we got off the boat and a cold towel and drink welcomed us and the efficient and delightful manager, Francios, explained the set up to us. With well trained attentive service and top quality food and drinks, the pricing was far more reasonable than i expected. The evenings were stunning. The outings are well planned and a total joy. Sitting under a fresh water waterfall was just the most awesome and awe inspiring thing to do. I felt quite overwhelmed with the purity and pleasure that I felt in this wonderful place. If you are lucky enough to do this trip... enjoy!

I just love the location, on an amazing river of the Cardamon Mountains. The idea of building floating tents is just great and provide an extreme experience. The swimming pool is the river! Great clean natural water that glitters as when touched a night. Certainly the most "off the beaten tracks" places in the country. If you feel like doing something beside the main temples, that is the place!
