Bangkok Bike Explorer

Departure Time: 08:00, 13:00

Duration: 4 hrs

Get to know the lively city streets of Bangkok bustling with street vendors, shops and multitudes of people rushing to and from during their busy work day. Make your way to the meeting point, where you will get geared up with your bike and meet your guide for the tour. Head off into the busy city of Bangkok and peek into the lives of local city dwellers by riding across wooden bridges and through squatter settlements nestled under highways and near railroad tracks. Get a feel for the daily habits and rituals of locals throughout the city.

Enjoy a refreshing drink stop before cycling to the pier where you will board a longtail boat with your bike and cross the Chao Praya River to reach Bangkok's green heart. Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind as you cycle through beautiful lush green natural areas on elevated pathways, an area that was once home to old plantations. Observe the contrasts of this great city as you keep an eye out for the occasional sun-bathing turtle or skittish lizard.

Stop to rest up with another cold drink and snack before returning to the longtail boat. Enjoy the view of Bangkok's skyline as you ride back across the river after an invigorating morning tour. Cycle back to the office where your tour will come to an end.  (Approximately 13 - 16 kilometres in total)

Stroll along the iconic sandbar, hike to a stunning viewpoint for panoramic views, or snorkel in the Japanese Garden, known for its vibrant marine life.

Savor a delicious Thai-style lunch onboard as you cruise to Mango Bay, famous for its turquoise waters and abundant sea life. The shallow sandy seabed gives the bay its brilliant color, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and soaking up the natural beauty.

Next, visit Hin Wong Bay, surrounded by large boulders and crystal-clear water. Explore its underwater pinnacles, teeming with coral, anemones, and diverse fish species. If you're lucky, you may spot schools of sardines darting through the water, pursued by trevally.

Continue to Aow Luek, a scenic bay with a white sandy beach, vibrant shades of blue water, and views of Shark Island in the distance. The deeper waters make it an excellent spot for snorkeling, even at low tide.

Conclude the day with a visit to Shark Bay, a haven for marine life where you can swim alongside graceful blacktip reef sharks and sea turtles. Return to the pier after an unforgettable day of island exploration and underwater adventures.
