Tour Description:

Southern Thailand especially Phuket has a number of pristine beaches and beautiful limestone karst. It is one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations. Every year, millions of tourist flock into Phuket to enjoy the exotic beaches along the island’s coastline. The island offers a huge variety of experiences for tourist to choose from. There are delicious foods, fantastic resorts, great parties and many more you can do on the island. Apart from enjoying on the Phuket island itself, you can also take an exciting speedboat ride to any of the nearby islands including the famous Koh Phi Phi or enjoy the stunning sceneries at Phang Nga Bay. Here on the island of Phuket, friendly locals will welcome you with warm smiles when you visit their villages. There are also mangroves on the island that provides natural protection to the shoreline. This tour will give you the chance to see the significance of mangroves towards the biodiversity of this region in Thailand.

We will explore the Phuket island on trails that are off the beaten path. It will definitely be a vastly different experience as we ride our bikes when we explore the island. We travel across Phang Nga Bay by boat and then explore the Yao Noi island on bicycles. You will be able to enjoy the peaceful island and witness the charms of southern Thailand’s rural area. From the paradise island of Yao Noi we will ride a boat through stunning karsts emerging out of the clear waters back to the mainland of Phuket. The mangrove forest will be a treat for nature lovers as we trek on elevated trails to reach a crystal clear water pool for a dip.

Day 1 - Phuket / Yao Noi Island

After picking you up, we will head to the starting point of our ride and get ready to start our cycling journey. Then, as you cycle along the trails you will get to see many rubber plantations along the way. The traditional way of tapping the trees and hand rolling the rubber into sheets are still common here. As Phuket is also known for its pineapples, you can see large pineapple fields on the way too. As we continue our journey along the trails, we cycle through the mangrove forest and we might be able to spot tiny crabs crawling out of their roots if we are lucky. After that, we then board a longtail boat with our bikes and travel to Yao Noi Island. Once we reach the island, we immediately get on our bikes and start exploring this paradise island. The island is a great viewpoint for the stunning Phang Nga Bay. We will visit the village where batik is made and get to know the chao lae, local fishermen. Later on in the evening, we will head to the local market and get our hands on some local favourites. Lunch and dinner will be served as we travel around the island.

Day - 2 Yao Noi / Krabi / Phuket

After having a hearty breakfast, we bid farewell to the wonderful Yao Noi Island and cross the Phang Nga Bay back to mainland. Upon reaching back to the land, we get ready for another fun cycling journey through palm plantations and pineapple fields. As we cycle along the back roads, we will be towered by limestone cliffs. Then, we will reach a magical mangrove forest where the water from limestone mountains meets the sea water. The forest here is very well preserved and we will trek on the trail to reach a crystal clear pool in the forest. Take a dip into the refreshing pool to recharge yourself after the ride. After our lunch, we will get ready and head back to Phuket on a 2 hour drive.
