A socially-conscious 16 day epic cycle across Cambodia and Vietnam taking in the glorious sights and visiting local NGOs along the way. Get on a bicycle, off the beaten track and explore the contrast in countries between Cambodia and Vietnam. With an adventure beginning in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and finishing in Saigon, Vietnam, you can truly explore and uncover the mysteries of these two incredible countries. Get ready to cycle almost 700km across Cambodia and Vietnam. From ancient Angkor Wat to the mighty Mekong Delta, you will be taken on a journey that will push your physical limits, challenge your ethical values and completely open your mind. You are about to go on a journey that may well change your life. And the lives of others.
The tour operator understands how important it is to take rest in a place that’s clean and comfortable – especially after a hard slog on the bikes. That’s why they always make an effort to get you settled in somewhere in town suited to that description. Where possible, boutique style accommodation will be organised for everyone (with a pool) because quite frankly, you deserve it. The tour operator will also make sure that a massage is not far away! Hotels that are clean and comfortable and secure. They will usually (but not always) have a fridge and a safe for you to put your belongings. All rooms have private bathrooms and will come with amenities and fresh towels. The tour is based on twin share accommodation, however, a single supplement is available if you would like your own room for the duration of the tour.
In Ben Tre in the midst of the Mekong Delta, you will stay with a local family in a homestay setting. It’s a family run business that is set up to accommodate the group. This means that you’ll have your own room but it’s a little more basic. It comes with a mosquito net and a fan. The toilets and showers are communal, similar to that of a caravan park. This experience allows you to get a little closer to the Vietnamese lifestyle. The homestay is tucked away in the heartland of Ben Tre, amidst soaring coconut trees. Dinner is provided by the family and you may even get the chance to hang out in the kitchen and pick up some Vietnamese cooking skills!
