Is this trip right for you?
- This trip is new to our range this year. And while we have thoroughly researched every detail of the logistics, new destinations and working with new partners can sometimes throw us some unexpected surprises. More often than not, it’ll be a great surprise. But every now and again there might be a hiccup. We like to think that’s what puts the ‘adventure’ in ‘adventure travel’.
- For Cycling trips these changes are usually around finding even better roads to ride on, which can alter the distance/time we spend riding on a day to day basis, but can sometimes even extend to overnight locations.
- To complete this trip it is important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
- This trip covers a range of cycling distances – from 20 to 50 kilometres – so this trip is suitable for most levels of fitness. Or book an e-bike!
- There’s the possibility of a few hiccups along the way – a puncture here and there maybe – but there’s no doubt this is an incredibly rewarding adventure.
- If you’re confident in your cycling ability, then you can opt to do longer rides on most cycling days.
- The weather in this region can be varied. Be prepared to get sweaty and for the occasional rainstorm, which may require a change of plans.
- If you feel like doing all the riding but with less effort we have the option of hiring an electric bike (e-bike) on this trip.
- This trip features 1 night (Day 4) in comfortable permanent tents with shared communal toilet and shower facilities.
