Mountain biking Trip Itineraries:

Half-day Mountain Biking Trips (Very Easy)

This trip starts at a group of lakes and meanders through secondary growth, along power lines, through oil palm and rubber plantations and small villages.

The route includes single tracks as well as dirt and gravel roads. Much of the ride is in the shade. In fact, more than half is in the shade.

During the rainy season (May through October), you will get a bit muddy. It’s all part of the fun.

The routes vary in length, though most are around 20 kilometers in length. Longer routes are available.

Tell us the type of trails and scenery you desire and we’ll put you on the right path.

Full-day Easy Mountain Biking Trips (Easy)

This trip is in an area in the northern end of Phuket. It starts in a park area that’s almost entirely in the shade. From there, it meanders through prawn farms, cultivated areas, a power line and secondary growth. There tends to be quite a few birds in this area.

This is an ‘a’ to ‘b’ ride. It starts in the area described and works south for as far as you like.

Lunch is included on this trip. We normally stop in small local restaurants and get a more authentic Thai meal that some of the typical touristy meals.

Hardcore Mountain Bike Day Trips

If you like to push it and want a more challenging ride, you’ll get just that. Phuket offers steep single track trails, mountains and big hills. There’s almost every type of terrain available on Phuket.

Contact us and let us know the type of ride you want and approximately how many hours you’d like to ride and we’ll make the appropriate suggestions.

Dangers – some of the hard-packed clay trails are slippery. These areas will be pointed out by your guide. The way around this is to go very slowly or to dismount and walk the bikes. There are some thorny bushes in places. If you don’t mere off of the trails, this won’t be a problem.
