  • Description:
    The range of options caters to different group sizes. From cozy hotels ideal for smaller groups to spacious villas perfect for larger gatherings, we strive to provide varied and comfortable choices.

However, if you prefer to book alternative accommodation, an additional cost may apply, and availability could vary.

  • Riding Package Exclusions and Separate Day Trip Costs:
    While you are welcome to arrange your own accommodation separately, please be aware that the riding package, which includes daily riding sessions won’t be applicable. In such cases, riding days will be charged separately as day trips, and the cost may exceed the inclusive rates offered in our packaged deals.

Guided Tours:

  • Details & activities:
    Our riding tours feature thrilling MTB enduro activities, with variations tailored to accommodate riders of different skill levels. While the primary focus is on enduro-style riding, adjustments can happily be made to incorporate more experiences based on individual skill levels.

  • Safety briefings and equipment provided:
    Our Enduro rides bring you expert guidance and support, ensuring a seamless and safe biking adventure. Our experienced guide and accompanying van are there every pedal of the way ready, to help with any bike troubles or first aid assistance.

  • Rider Harmony and Group Dynamics:
    Joining a group may require riders to participate at the group’s average skill level. Although we strive to separate riders into compatible groups for maximum enjoyment and safety, it’s important to note that complete split on the group may not always be feasible.
    To ensure a positive experience for all participants, riders seeking to join an existing group must receive approval from the group members. The cohesion of the initial group is essential, and their comfort and agreement hold significance in integrating new members for a better experience for everyone.
  • Severe Crash Policy:
    In the rare event of a severe crash during our mountain biking tours, prioritizing safety is paramount. Should such a situation arise, the activity may be temporarily suspended at the discretion of our experienced guide or tour leader. It’s crucial to understand that, in cases of a suspended activity, funds for the remaining portion may not be refunded to the group. However, we are dedicated to offering alternatives, such as a discount for the affected day or suggesting an alternative activity if the group wishes to continue. Decisions on alternatives will consider feasibility and safety. Clear communication will be maintained with the group, and participants are asked to acknowledge and embrace flexibility, cooperation, and patience in unforeseen circumstances, with safety taking precedence.

  • Equipment Responsibility:
    All participants are responsible for the care and safekeeping of their personal bikes and any rented equipment provided by us, Earth MTB. Any damage or loss incurred during the tour, whether to personal or rental items, will be the responsibility of the individual participant. We recommend conducting a thorough check of equipment before and after each ride to ensure its proper condition. Your cooperation in maintaining the integrity of the gear contributes to a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

  • Rental Bike Damage Policy:
    In the event of any damage to our rental bikes caused by participants, a thorough inspection will be conducted to assess the issue. While minor wear and tear are understandable, significant damages to the bike, including broken parts, may incur additional charges. We appreciate your understanding that responsible usage helps maintain the quality of our equipment. Rest assured, we’ll work together to determine fair solutions for any issue that may arise. Your cooperation ensures a smooth and enjoyable riding experience for all.
