Overview
There is no better way to see the Mekong Delta than aboard our atmospheric, intimate, 14 cabin ship, crewed by the most charming bunch of people on the river. We use this easily maneuverable vessel with its teak tones and shining brass fittings, as our floating retreat, meaning that you unpack once. Our chef will take you on a culinary journey to match your geographic one, from traditional Vietnamese to contemporary fusion and on to the lesser-known cuisine of Cambodia, you may find yourself wondering if it really is a bike tour or a food tour!
You can plan each day as it comes. Take a morning ride, an afternoon ride, both rides, or opt out of riding on any given day and join the non-riding partners and friends on the ship, or for a walk on-shore. We created this tour to give you maximum daily flexibility, and so that non-riding partners and friends can join the journey.
In addition to our time on the river ship, we will spend two nights in a delightful boutique hotel in Siem Reap and spend our time there exploring the ancient temples and ruins of the Angkor Kingdom. We do this by riding the hidden trails through the protected forests of the surrounding national park, or by tuk-tuk for the non-riders. It is a highlight and conclusion to a trip that will etch itself into your memory.
Total cycling: 140 - 210 km / 87 - 130 mi. The riding is mostly flat. You will cycle on a great variety of surfaces, ranging from concrete to hard-packed dirt and even a few forest trails around Angkor. Traffic will almost always be a rarity, allowing you to engage with the locals as you go, stopping for a chat or a photo as you wish.
Pedal-assist E-bikes are an available option on this tour for $200.
Single cabin/room: $1,600 USD
