A small New Zealand based company passionate about riding bikes

They lead adventurous cycle tours in adventurous locations around the world and are driven by the reward that comes with creating and leading tours that will touch your soul and stay in your memory forever.

There’s sticking to the beaten track, and then there’s Escape Adventures. Our philosophy is to steer clear of mainstream tourist attractions and get into the heart of the destinations we cycle tour, whether that involves an overnighter with buffalo farmers in Colombia, home and yurt stays in Kyrgyzstan, staying in a Fijian village or camping with a Maasai family in Kenya. Our mission is to get you a little out of your normal comfort zone and give you a whole heap of opportunities to have unique and personal experiences.

Founded 20 years ago by owner operators John Etherington and Mandy Richards, Escape Adventures is a small New Zealand company. It all began for us in 1999 in Kenya & Tanzania, which is still one of our most popular cycle tours. Since then the business has grown, and we have cycle tours in nine different countries.
