What better way to see the world than on two wheels?

Cycle from Kyoto to Osaka, through quiet backroads, quaint villages, rice fields and some of Japan’s most interesting temples and shrines. It's a quieter side of Japan, with plenty of good food, beautiful scenery and unforgettable places to stay.

Mallorca is more than white sand beaches and crystal clear water. Inland, the island rises into the Serra de Tramuntana, where stone villages, winding mountain roads, orange groves, and old cafés make for some memorable riding.

This week-long route takes you from Palma to Port de Sóller and on to Port de Pollença, with plenty of time to stop for a long lunch, wander a village, or take in the view from the road.

Trace the coastal route from Porto to Santiago and experience a different side of Portugal.

Starting in Porto, head north along Portugal’s Atlantic coast — past beaches, boardwalks and fishing villages — before crossing the Minho River into Spain.

Then, it’s on through Galicia: the seaside town of Baiona, the bustling port of Vigo, historic Pontevedra and the small villages and forests surrounding Padrón.

Finally, after roughly 250 km of riding, the route reaches Santiago de Compostela and its famous cathedral — the destination that has drawn pilgrims for centuries.

Cycle by day and sail by night — one of the best ways to experience everything the Dalmatian Islands have to offer, just ask our guests.

“I could not have imagined a better trip. The boat was incredible, the itinerary was perfect, and the guides were terrific. It is a very unique way to see Croatia. I loved the fact that we could unpack our bags once and the boat moved with us. All the meals were amazing.”

— Catherine K.

Explore Japan on two wheels, from the temple streets of Kyoto to the mountain monasteries of Koyasan.

The country opens up in layers: temple towns tucked into forested hills, quiet farm roads cutting through rice paddies, and small workshops where old crafts are still part of daily life. Between rides, there are natural onsen and simple, traditional meals that feel earned after a day in the saddle.

Beyond the coastlines and ruins, Turkey is about hospitality: lingering breakfasts, backgammon games in the square, the clink of tea glasses, and shopkeepers who welcome you in like an old friend. Travelling by bike gives you the chance to slow down and be part of it, even just for a little while.
