Explore Phuket on Bicycle



Discover Phuket Island on a mountain bike! This tour is for the active-minded and those who want to visit places that are not part of other excursion programs. You will have Phuket all for yourself and “touch the locals”. The following is a sample itinerary. Program and times can change depending on weather conditions and “biking ability” of participants. Pick up at your hotel and van-transfer to the north of the island to start your bike adventure. After a biking brief of routes, pedal and safety instructions, we will bike along the north-eastern part of Phuket on trails and roads, passing idyllic rubber plantations, stunning valleys and small villages. Picturesque coconut groves and friendly locals will become familiar sights along the way. On route your guide will point out local plants and places of interest. We will lead you through Bang Rong's Muslim villages along quiet back roads where you can enjoy the gorgeous scenery and local culture up close where the traditional way of life has remained unchanged. At a local coffee shop try the local coffee and a snack and visit a local house and see how the people live. Time for a well earned Thai lunch (not too spicy!) at a local restaurant. Transfer by van to the southern part of Phuket, where you start your next cycle tour. First stop at Wat Chalong for a short visit to one of Phuket's most famous temples, then cycle through coconut groves in this pretty part of the island. The tour finishes at Nai Harn Bay where you will get the opportunity to take a refreshing swim (* swimming dependent on sea conditions). Transfer back to your hotel by van.
