Countryside Cycling - Half Day

What we will see & where we will be

Experience a half-day, 20 km cycling tour through the serene farmland of northern Phuket. Ride through lush forests and plantations on quiet trails and smooth tarmac roads, far from the crowds. Pedal past pineapple fields and shrimp farms to the remote northeast, learning about the local farming lifestyle and sampling regional delicacies along the way.

This mountain bike tour reveals a disappearing side of Phuket. The plantations you cross may soon become villa resorts, and the trails you follow could be paved roads in the future. As you cycle through dense forests, sleepy villages, and unpaved hamlets, you’ll taste fresh coconut and witness a way of life vastly different from Phuket's bustling west coast.

Discover hidden trails and gravel roads, starting with a flat off-road section. If the weather is dry, explore the 'urban forest,' a protected reserve with exciting bicycle trails that feel like tunnels through lush jungle. A creek crossing in this forest offers a perfect photo opportunity of your adventure.

Cycle past rows of rubber trees and a remote Thai Navy outpost, learning about rubber tapping and palm oil harvesting from our knowledgeable guides. The second part of the tour takes you to the northeast, where some of Phuket’s best cycling roads wind through tiny villages with children playing and locals engaged in shrimp farming, goat farming, and traditional fishing. 

End your countryside cycling adventure at the picturesque Laem Sai pier, enjoying a delicious lunch with stunning views of the Andaman Sea. The total distance of this tour is approximately 20 km, and it is accompanied by a support minivan for most of the route.
