Cycle on quiet backroads, immerse yourself in local life, discover unmissable heritage sites, savor tropical cuisine, and relax in comfortable hotels.
You meet in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and head south into the Mekong Delta, cycling for three days through coconut farms and rice fields. You cross small bridges and ferries, explore Vietnam’s largest floating market, and speedboat along the Mekong to Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital. From there, you ride Cambodia’s red-dirt roads north to the sleepy town of Kampong Thom, before reaching Siem Reap, the gateway to the majestic, UNESCO-listed temples of Angkor. On trails ideal for mountain biking, you spend two days exploring these ancient ruins, then take a boat cruise across Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake.
Next, you fly to Bangkok and drive to Thailand’s east coast for a two-night stay on Mae Phim Beach. Here, you ride into the agrarian hinterland of rubber plantations and glide through wetlands on an electric boat. You continue cycling across estuaries, rugged headlands, and shrimp farms to Chao Lao Beach, before a grand finale through tropical fruit orchards to Chanthaburi, famed for its historic riverside community. The tour concludes with a transfer back to Bangkok.
