Contiki is expanding its Asia portfolio with the launch of two new small-group adventures: Ride Vietnam and Ride Cambodia.
Moving beyond traditional coach tours, the new ride itineraries offer a more immersive way to experience Southeast Asia on the backs of Vespas, motorbikes, and tuk tuks, taking travellers through cities, coastlines, and countryside with expert local drivers and every detail handled along the way.
Tom O’Hara, Head of Brand at Contiki, said that: “Young travellers are moving beyond the Instagram ‘greatest hits’ and looking for trips that connect and immerse them in destinations.”
O’Hara continued: “These new trips deliver exactly that – exploring Vietnam by Vespa and motorbike or Cambodia by tuk tuk – a small group of like-minded travellers can be sharing meals with locals, staying in family-run accommodation and discovering off-the-beaten-track towns and villages, all while being led by an experienced and knowledgeable Contiki crew. It’s about getting closer to the culture, the communities, and the moments that make travel unforgettable.”
From Cambodia’s vibrant streets to Vietnam’s dynamic coastlines, each itinerary is designed around movement as the core experience, with transport that brings travellers closer to local life. Trips are available to book now with travel beginning in November 2026:
Ride Cambodia: Over eight days, travellers will explore Cambodia entirely by tuk tuk, venturing down dirt roads, across rice fields and into communities well off the beaten path, from the temples of Siem Reap to the streets of Phnom Penh. Key experiences include sunrise at UNESCO World Heritage site Angkor Wat, overnight homestays in Kampong Khleang on Tonle Sap lake and Sambor Prei Kuk, and visits to Tuol Sleng Prison and Choeng Ek in Phnom Penh. Groups are capped at 14, with prices starting from CAD$2,220.
Ride Vietnam: Spanning six days across Central Vietnam, travellers will explore by Vespa and motorbike, weaving through some of the country’s most iconic landscapes and hidden backroads. Top trip highlights include an evening Vespa food tour through the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, a countryside ride past rice paddies and artisan villages, a motorbike tour of Da Nang’s street food scene, and a full-day ride across the legendary Hai Van Pass with stops at freshwater springs along the way. The trip runs with a maximum of 16 travelers, with prices starting from CAD$1,645.
The trips are launching with Contiki’s “Vibes On Overdrive” campaign, featuring six creators who experienced both itineraries firsthand, with content rolling out across influencer and Contiki channels. The content offers a first look at the journeys and will help travelers better understand what to expect before they book.
