Private tours

If you want to go on a standard Social Cycles tour, but want to keep it a private experience between you and your friends and family, the price varies depending on the size of your friends. If you have a group of eight people, then the price is the same as the standard tour price listed on this website. If you have less than eight, the price will be marginally higher. If you have more than eight, the price will be marginally cheaper.

We ask for a A$200 minimum commitment from all riders. The money is given directly to the NGOs that are chosen by you. All of it. No bank fees, no commissions. The group from every tour engage in a ‘Donation Debate’ on our last night together. We’ll discuss what impressed us, confused us and inspired us. As a group, we’ll make a decision as to how we’ll divide the total money. It’s your money and your experience. It can, and will, go to whatever NGO touched you the most.

Refer to each itinerary, but generally speaking, each tour will include meals (most breakfasts and dinners, some lunches), all accommodation, bike hire, guides, support vehicle to carry your bags, water and fruit for the ride, entrance to particular local attractions (with specific guide, ie; Angkor Wat, Persepolis), NGO engagement experiences and arrival transfer from the airport.

We’ll always be in an air conditioned room (where possible). If you’re travelling with your partner, you’ll have your own room. Otherwise rates are based on twin share. Single supplement can be arranged from AU$150 to $490 depending on the tour.  

In Iran, you will need a visa and we will help you with this. All other countries you will need to organise your own visa prior to the start of the trip. Cambodia and Laos can be obtained on arrival. Vietnam (if required) needs to be obtained prior to arrival. Few nationalities need a visa for Samoa. See your travel doctor for medical vaccinations and advice.
