Terms and Conditions for Dirt Bike Tours with

Hidden Cambodia

General

No other operator will give this level of attention, detail and logistics to get you there and back. Throughout the year, various routes are more possible than others and we include a selection of tours for you to look at. However, what we need most to start planning is your start dates, number of days riding and your skills... we can advise the route.

The HCAT approach to all adventures in Cambodia is very safety-oriented to ensure that our customers have the best experience possible. Each of our tours is tailored to suit the skill levels of the group. See destination information and photos also. We plan trips to all areas of the country such as Ratannakiri, Modulkiri and the Cardamom mountains but concentrate on north, east ,west and southwest of Siem Reap and into neighboring provinces.

Bookings: By email Before making a final booking, guests normally exchange a number of e-mails to establish exactly what their requirements and preferences are. We ask for riders to fill out a riders background prior to booking. Most groups and individuals are booking more than 4 to 6 months out. Vital information is  your dates,  numbers in the group, how many days and rider experience.  We are happy to join up like skilled individual riders for tours also.

Day Tours:  Full one day tours including lunch, gas,  bike,  tour leader, entry to Beng Melea temple and associated road levies are priced at $110 per person. For beginners to experienced. We have all the protective equipment for this.

The Bikes: 5 XRs 250cc  Honda, electric start, 4 Honda Baja 250cc kick start, I CRM 97. We own all our own  bikes, 10 in total. The bikes have been prepared carefully for the trip,  fitted with good tires and checked over.  A lot of you  are riding higher end bikes back home and finished with  these a few years ago but these are the best fit for here.. solid,  dependable and for those that think you are good - it can be quiet difficult to stay on!

Our tour leaders acts as your guides, mechanics, advisors, translator and many other roles all in one.  HCDB team transports all equipment with them to carry out minor repairs and spares, if needed, while on tour. We have additional Hidden Cambodia reps,  sweepers & support staff that travel with larger groups to assist at no additional cost.

Support Vehicle: We have an accompanying 4WD if riders do not want to carry anything with them on the bikes on on their backs.   Cost for support vehicle is  $150 per day for vehicle, and includes a driver and another support person, the cost being divided between the number of riders. This support vehicle will carry cold boxes of pre ordered beer, water,  food for remote camp out in remote locations if needed and all luggage. If anyone feels like talking a rest, the additional support person in this 4WD can take over and they can sit in.

Equipment: We provide helmets, goggles and gloves to all riders and have some boots and riding shirts available in various sizes. If you have your gear, best to bring it in especially knee & elbow protectors. The pros come in with all their own gear. We are happy to store luggage for people in the base house while they are on tour. 

Pillion passengers pay only a charge for their expenses if travelling on the back of their partner’s bike. In special circumstances, pillion passengers can travel on a guide's bike but pay the same rate as the rider daily rate.

The routes matched to the riders: They vary. Some more difficult challenging routes can be classed as Enduro and with a combo of Motocross. These routes are usually 5 to  7 day rides and are for  experienced riders, those who ride/race regularly at home and for whom riding is a major sport, hobby, major interest,  life passion. Have all the gear and gadgets. Looking for new wide open ground which is difficult or next to impossible to get at home. Add to that a remote and difficult route that could have either sand (powder) or mud (a special Cambodian consistency) or both depending on what time you are in and where you ride.  

Routes also for those that... ride at home, have their own bike/bikes, will buy a bike, want to fine tune their skills, happy to ride for five to 7 days, interested to see the culture and ride at the same time or those  not in any big hurry. Medium to Good riders. May have done a lot of dirt or may have done years of black top road before and some dirt. Able to control their speed. Inclines, bridges, hard ground, medium dirt road, some bumps,  some sand,  some mud ok

Routes for those that have not been on a bike for a few years but after one day they are back into it, interested in a nice pace, regular stops, meet the people.

Routes that have fairly flat dirt road all the way!

Routes for first time riders/learners.

Dirt Bike Groups:
We can cater for up to 10 riders in addition to our own team that travels with the group.

Accommodation in Siem Reap: We have a range of hotels and guesthouses that we book for our clients  that vary in terms of budget, location and strong points.  See our accommodation page

Pre-trip Meeting: All those travelling on a 3 day tour or more will meet on their arrival in Siem Reap and before the trip departure to discuss the route and all aspects of the trip. Those undertaking a 5 day trip or more, we ask that they be in Siem Reap by 11am the previous day to talk and check bikes and complete remaining payments.  

After all of that, our tours are personalised, exciting, exceptionally good fun, and ever day, as Cambodia expands and develops, an eye opener into a way of life that has existed here for thousands of years and the new Cambodia that is emerging.  Get in early. See it for yourself. People keep coming back. A trip of a lifetime.

A perfect location to ride…. South East Asia…… Cambodia…Siem Reap.

Many are interested in the temples but as always, for many bikers; it is the ride there rather than the destination that is important!

Ride Free.. Ride Safe into the Hidden Cambodia.
