2017 and 2018 this Tour was sold out . Please book ahead for 2019 fixed seats.
This great adventure combines Motorbiking Adventure with Cultural spectacles and Beach Holiday. There are days we are just cruising the tropical landscapes, followed by days which give us deep insights into the buddhist world, again followed by days that are dedicated to relaxing on the Beach. I do make it a point to introduce my guests to all possible facets of the island, including those painful parts of History often ignored. Yet this is a Fun tour focussing mainly on all culinary , spiritual and natural spectacles.
For a detailed itinerary please just email me.
