Vietnam to Cambodia Cycling Tour

On your first day in Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, you will meet the Mr Biker team of guides, mechanics, and drivers who will support you throughout your exciting adventure from Saigon to Cambodia.

A bike fitting is scheduled at 4PM (Mr Biker Trung Son: 24 Street No.6, Trung Son Residence, Binh Chanh District) followed by a welcome dinner with the team.

In the morning, you will van transfer to a local cafe in the Mekong Delta where your fitted bikes will be waiting. After a short trip briefing at the cafe, you’ll hop on and start your adventure.

70% of today’s riding will be shaded from the Mekong sun by coconut trees. Riders will traverse numerous small canal bridges and admire the lush greenery of the area. This view of the area’s agriculture will lead to a coconut by-product factory.

After lunch, you will continue your adventure and watch the coconut fields give way to charming delta homes and villages. As you progress, you will continue on routes that are generally flat and paved, but there will be some opportunity to challenge yourselves on narrow sections through the coconut plantations.

You’ll end up in Tra Vinh City, where you will relax before enjoying a community dinner and an evening of exploration.

Today you will see rice paddies take prominence in your landscape views. In the morning, you will cycle a short distance to Ba Om Pond, an 800 years old Khmer architectural beauty, to see its famous seasonal lotus flower.

After that, you will spend the rest of the morning cycling through flat lands next to rice paddies and canals. This region is renowned for being the second largest producer of rice in Vietnam.

In the afternoon, you’ll van transfer to Can Tho city, where you will take in the nightlife and rooftop views from restaurants in the city centre. Be sure not to miss out on Can Tho’s well-known night markets!

The day is split between water and land. In the morning, depart from Can Tho by boat for a 60-minute cruise to the famous Cai Rang Floating Market, with time to explore and shop from local vendors.

In the afternoon, cycle along quiet riverside roads through fruit gardens and open rice fields, enjoying the peaceful rural scenery. The ride concludes with a visit to Bang Lang Stork Sanctuary. From there, riders can choose to continue cycling or take a van transfer to Long Xuyen City.

After a hearty local breakfast, we’ll transfer about 60 minutes by private shuttle to a historic site of the ancient Southern Kingdom of Vietnam, followed by a museum visit. Cycling then begins on a 55 km route toward Tra Su National Reserve, mainly along raised paths above flooded farmland.

Arriving in the early afternoon, enjoy a peaceful visit to Tra Su, with a walk along floating walkways and an optional guided boat tour through shaded canals. After lunch, continue cycling 25 km to Chau Doc City for the night, with the option of an air-conditioned van transfer if preferred.

Today, your legs will get a well-deserved rest after you board a comfortable speed boat heading to Cambodia at 6:45am.

The ride will take about 4 hours and 30 minutes where you will be able to enjoy some snacks. Visa at the border will be arranged by the crew. Please prepare a passport photo with a white background and 35 USD in undamaged cash for the border.

You will have the rest of the day to explore Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital city.

Today, you can take a free day to sunbathe and relax by the pool, check out the busy city of Phnom Penh, or head out to the historical ‘Killing Fields’ and S-21 museum.

After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the Mekong pier for a 45-minute boat ride upstream to Koh Dach (Mekong Island) to where your bikes will be waiting. You’ll visit a family-run silk weaving business before cycling on two islands in the Mekong River, Koh Oukatey and Koh Dach. The terrain of the islands is mostly flat and covered in lush vegetation as well as beaches. You will aim to ride between 70-80km today before being transferred by van to Kampong Cham.

In the evening, you’ll visit the local village on the island of Koh Pen. You’ll visit the village, walk through the local farms, view the Buddhist monastery, and drive back to have dinner in Kampong Cham’s downtown.

Today, you will cycle deep into the countryside of Cambodia. You will visit Koh Krabie (Mekong Island), and Wat Hanchey (Hanchey Pagoda). The ride will include stops at local farms, rubber plantations, and small temples along the way.

For your last destination before Siem Reap, you will visit Sambor Prey Kuk Temple Complex, which consists of a hundred brick Hindu temples scattered through the forest.

Arrive in Siem Reap in the late afternoon, check in to your hotel, and be treated to dinner at a local restaurant.

Today will centre around a guided cycling tour of Angkor Wat and all the other temples in the Angkor Temple Complex. The tour will be led by a local cycling guide and will be filled with fascinating information and anecdotes about the site, which is one of the two remaining Wonders of the World.

After breakfast, you’ll cycle to a local market where you can opt to taste some deep-fried crickets and water bugs. You’ll then ride to Krabei Riel Village, passing the rice fields, Khmer Traditional houses, and pagodas, and finally stopping at one of the local houses to enjoy the Khmer Cooking Class with the villagers.

After lunch, you’ll continue to ride your bike to Tone Sap Lake and embark on the local boat upon arrival. The boat will cruise slowly to Mechrey Floating Village, where you will get to kayak through a floating village and a mangrove forest (July-January only) on the Tonle Sap Lake. You will then take the boat back to the pier and choose whether to cycle or take a van to Siem Reap, where you will enjoy a farewell dinner and goodbyes with the local team.

On this last day, you will be able to relax and visit the city by yourself before continuing with your own travels or departure back home. The hotel check-out is at 12:00 if you need to transfer to the airport or to another location.
