Overall rating

based on 4 reviews

Not sure why there aren’t any reviews on this activity. We just returned from a 3 days/3 nights (the trip begins 1 night prior to your motorbike riding day), we all had a blast. Those that couldn’t drive a motorbike or is uncomfortable, are able to get an easy rider. Our riders were very experienced and not one moment did we feel unsafe. The sceneries were beyond descriptions. You just have to be there to witness its natural beauty and local people. Lots of winding loops and even bumpy moments due to street repairs and rough conditions. Food and accommodations can improve but if you can set these aside, then you will have a once in a lifetime experience. On our last night, we all sang and drank happy water together with our drivers. It was a memorable experience.
