Overview
Our Cycling Day Tours
Riding with Ripple Effect Rides is more than just sightseeing—it’s an investment in a sustainable future for Cambodia. Our cycling day tours are specifically designed to immerse you in the local culture while ensuring your travel spending creates a direct, positive Ripple Effect.
This starts with our core commitment: 10% from every single day tour ticket is donated to the local partner cause of your choice from our vetted list of impactful organisations. This ensures transparency, empowers you to choose where your contribution lands, and guarantees that your experience benefits the community long after you’ve gone home.
We offer three curated Social Impact Cycling Day Tours, designed to showcase different facets of Siem Reap. All tours are run by our experienced local guides and include all necessary cycling gear, snacks, and refillable water to ensure comfort and responsible travel.
