8-Day Angkor Wat Motorcycle Tour

Day 1: Phnom Penh – Kirirom

Begin your adventure by riding west out of Phnom Penh to Kirirom National Park. There are some fun trails on the way down, and the park itself is home to a variety of local wildlife, a huge pine forest and some gorgeous waterfalls.

Day 2: Kirirom – Chiphat

The Cardamom Mountains are largely covered in dense tropical rainforest, and are sparsely populated. The eastern slopes, however, are home to a number of cardamom and pepper farms. Test your riding skills on the rocky forest trails that snake through the region before spending the evening in Chiphat Eco-Village.

Day 3: Chipat – Koh Kong

There’s some great riding to be had as you make your way west through the Cardamom Mountains on your way to Koh Kong. Until recently, this area was famous for being one of the most lawless parts of Cambodia—the Khmer Rouge are said to have been active there until as late as 1998—but the construction of a massive bridge over Kaoh Pao River that connects the country with Thailand has led to something of a rejuvenation.

Day 4: Exploration Day

The ideal place for our first exploration day, the southwest coast boasts some great riding and some awesome sights. From dense jungle and country roads to boat trips on the river, you’ll have a host of activities to choose from.

Day 5: Koh Kong – Promoy

Head north, again through the jungles of the Cardamom Mountains, on your way to Promoy, a small town on the banks of the Pursat River. This is the greenest part of Cambodia, and there are roads here where you may not see another person for miles.

Day 6: Promoy – Battambang

As you approach Battambang the mountains give way to flatlands, full of rice fields and small Buddhist temples. Once an important trading town, Battambang remains our favourite city in Cambodia after, naturally, Siem Reap.

Day 7: Battambang – Siem Reap

The main road from Battambang to Siem Reap is fast, but, depending on the season, we may be able to explore some rice fields and paddocks and test our skills off road. Siem Reap itself is has some fantastic restaurants, and the Angkor museum is definitely worth a visit in preparation for Angkor Wat.

Day 8: Exploration Day

No visit to Cambodia is complete without a trip to the massive temple complex of Angor Wat. We’ll get a local guide and explore it and the gorgeous surrounding area by motorcycle, visiting ancient ruins, jungles, lakes and waterfalls–it’s spectacular.

Inclusions X Extras

English-Speaking Guide

Each of our guides has years of experience running motorcycle tours and is an expert on the local area.

All speak English and the local language, and guides who can speak other languages are sometimes available on request.

Motorcycle X Fuel

The cost of hiring your motorcycle is included in that of the tour. All running expenses, including fuel, are included as well.

Food X Drink

All meals are provided, as are drinks and snacks along the way.

You’ll dine sometimes in your accommodation, sometimes at quality local restaurants.

Let us know in advance of any preferences or dietary requirements and we are happy to cater for these.

Accommodation

Accommodation is minimum 3-star quality.

Standard is a twin share room but on occasion (due to remote location) we will share one large, dorm-type room: in a stilt house or a yurt, for example.

All locations have been scouted beforehand and checked for cleanliness and good service.

Waterproof Gear

Conditions in many of our destinations, in Asia, for example, may be really different from your home country.

Rain can be heavy, and start falling at a moment’s notice.

We’ll sort you out with a waterproof rain poncho and overtrousers where necessary.

Private Accommodation

We offer twin-share accommodation as standard. In most locations, though, we can arrange single occupancy if you prefer.

This comes at a small surcharge, but in most tour destinations is quite reasonable.

Motorcycle Gear

While most riders prefer to bring their own gear, we do have a limited range of extra gear (boots, gloves, armour and helmets, for example) in most of our tour destinations.

Naturally, whether or not we’ll be able to supply you with gear depends on size and availability.

Pre X Post Tour Accommodation

We are happy to provide suggestions on pre and post-tour bookings in accommodation: knowing the area well, we know the best places to stay at all price points.

We can even book for you as an added extra without any service fee, sometimes even at a discount.

Rode with these guys in Cambodia, February 2024.

7-day loop from Phnom Penh up to Angkor Wat and back. Absolute pros - bikes (Honda dual-sports) were great, booking was easy, itinerary on point. Plenty of dirt riding, too, which is what my buddies and I requested.

Highly recommend ADV. Big thanks to Danny and the team.

Once in a life time experience, went on a 5 day tour with Danny who was an unbelievable guide, very informative and took us off the beaten track.
We hired the Honda XR 150 and it was perfect, very reasonably priced when you consider the homestays and great food we had.

Will definitely be booking another adventure 10/10.

Danny and his crew are fantastic. Did a Cambodia trip with them in March, 2024 and it was insanely good! Riding through jungles, hidden temples, awesome off-road tracks: these guys had it all scoped out. Food and lodgings were great. Excellent adventure at a great price. Highly recommended.
