Useful Information
Paddy field in Langkawi
On the way, explore the rural Malay kampongs, traditional timber houses built on stilts. These traditional dwellings were constructed by the indigenous ethnic Malaysian people and served as a home to extended family members.
Cycle past the long stretch of scenic paddy fields and learn about the rice-planting process from your guide. Passing quaint fishing villages, see the fishermen tie up their boats and bring in their catch. As you pedal down the country roads, you may spot hornbills, kingfishers and monitor lizards. Don't forget your camera as the views are spectacular, especially as you cycle through green pastures spreading as far as the eye can see. Along the way you will stop off for light snacks.
You will be accompanied by a knowledgeable and experienced guide who will provide extensive information on the history and culture of rural Langkawi. This tour is the perfect way to escape the crowds of this popular beach island.

An excellent experience with a friendly and knowledgable guide. The tour uses quiet roads and paths and is not at all strenuous. the scenery and countryside is wonderful and the pace of the tour enable you to see Langkawi at its best.
The bikes are well maintained and in good condition.

Great little tour! Not v.exhausting, well-kept mountain bikes riding leisurely over mostly flat terrain. Takes in local villages, rice museum (better than it sounds), plenty of local flora and fauna, Cenang beach, and fishing village. Fresh fruit and local dishes at end. No helmets. Well spoken guides
