What a fantastic day discovering the scenic Yao island cycling through quiet back roads, country side and along the beaches. The ride starts from a cycle shop on Yao island where you get to choose your bicycle and make adjustments to seat height etc. Most of the bicycles were Trek Marlin 2 x 8 speed, medium sized frame. The tour takes you along rolling terrain and through rubber plantations where the terrain is challenging at certain spots and you may even need to walk your bicycle through the trails. But most of the trip is on roads, though the terrain is not flat and rolling. You stop for a coconut drink in a farm land and go through many scenic routes before you end up at a restaurant along a scenic beach where you stop for lunch. The trip then continues along scenic road hugging the coast and finally you end up at the shop where you return your bicycles. It can take 1.5-2 hrs to return to your hotel in Phuket due to the distance and traffic. Overall an adventurous trip.

During this 15-kilometer morning ride, you will explore the picturesque countryside of Koh Yao Noi. You will bike through the main market town of the island, through rice fields and mangrove forests, rubber plantations, and even a fishing village on stilts. You will also learn about the farming lifestyle during breaks.

At midday, stop at a quiet beach for lunch, swimming ( possible at high tide only), and relaxing. From the beach, take in beautiful views of Phang Nga Bay.

During the 10-kilometer afternoon ride (mostly on paved roads), you will enjoy wide ocean views as you cycle along the empty beaches of the east coast of Koh Yao Noi. This day is a mix of nature, culture and fun at the beach.
