Great way to start the morning and see some things in Mombasa you'd otherwise miss

Published on Feb, 2025

I did this by myself with just one guide, Julius, about a week ago. Total time on the bike was about 3 hours, and we were moving at a pretty good pace the whole time. The route took us through a few different villages and there was a ton of stuff to see - mangroves, fish traps, baobabs, cashew trees, small quarries, creeks/streams, livestock, some wildlife, a solar farm & a power plant, and a bunch of other stuff that I'm probably forgetting. Julius was awesome and answered all of the questions I peppered him with along the way. I'd echo other folks & make sure you're comfortable with the bike up front. There were a few frames to choose from. I found the brakes were weak on the ones I tested, but we were able to tighten them up & test them quickly before we got going (side note - make sure rear brake are solid b/c there are a couple steep downhill sections and a solid rear brake will help make sure you don't flip over the handle bars). I had 0 issues mid-ride, but as others noted, the guide does bring tools along the way & I felt confident they'd be able to fix things up on the fly. Couple other things: - This is probably common sense for any tropical/equatorial destination but I would definitely recommend wearing sun block. There were a few sunny, shadeless stretches and if you're pale like me, you'll get absolutely roasted once the UV index climbs. - Bottle of water was provided, and we stopped for a snack/drink a couple times along the way. I didn't bring any food/drink of my own & I was fine. - The steep slopes were relatively short. You can probably dismount & walk the bike up/down as needed if this is problematic (ex you're not the strongest rider and/or doing this during the wet season where unpaved roads presumably get slippery) - Someone left a review a long time ago suggesting this was exploitative or expositional. I want to say I did *not* get this vibe at *all*, and to me this felt like just a normal ride through a neighborhood (though with some excitement from kids about a mzungu passing through)

Amazing cylcing experience

Published on Jan, 2025

With a group of colleagues, we had an amazing cycling experience with this organization. The expert guides cycled with us through Kenyan villages. We also enjoyed breathtaking views and even rode through a mangrove forest. The bikes were of fairly good quality. If anything happened along the way or you simply wanted a different adjustment, the guides had tools with them to assist. Conclusion: a fantastic experience that I can recommend to everyone!

Highly recommended!!

Published on Jun, 2024

A great and memorable experience. We cycled through villages and spoke to locals. We cycle to the highest point in Mombassa and the views were sensational. The guides were extremely informative and professional. They really made this experience worth while.

See some of the real Kenya

Published on Feb, 2024

A great way to escape the tourism bubble and see some of the real Kenya. I rode with Julius and enjoyed the relaxed pace, the scenery and the chats we had along the way with people he knows. A splendid way to spend a Saturday morning.

Excellent !

Published on Apr, 2023

It was a lovely tour even though Mombasa experienced heavy rains the day before. They were very professional and caring. People in the villages were friendly as well ! It's a must in Mombasa, I highly recommend and I will definitely do it again when I am around ! Asanteni sana.
