Beyond the Horizon: ExperiencePlus Unveils New Exotic Bicycle Tours

When you think of cycling vacations, the image that often pops up is a leisurely ride along a coastal boulevard or a weekend escape through rolling countryside. ExperiencePlus Bicycle Tours, however, has decided to flip that script.

In a bold move announced earlier this month, the company introduced “Beyond,” a suite of high‑end tours that venture far beyond the usual bike‑friendly routes. The idea is simple yet ambitious: take seasoned cyclists—and the occasional adventurous beginner—into places most travelers only dream about, all while keeping the wheels turning.

So where does Beyond actually go? Think the wind‑whipped plains of Mongolia’s steppe, where riders can chase sunrise over endless horizons, or the dramatic fjords of Norway, where steep cliffs mirror the challenge of the climb. There’s also a trek through the emerald jungles of Costa Rica, complete with occasional wildlife sightings, and a sun‑soaked desert circuit across Namibia’s iconic dunes.

Each itinerary has been meticulously crafted by a team that includes veteran cyclists, local guides, and sustainability consultants. The goal isn’t just to push boundaries but to do so responsibly. Camps are set up with low‑impact materials, meals source ingredients from nearby farms, and carbon offsets are built into the price.

For those who worry about fitness levels, ExperiencePlus has added tiered options. A “Gentle Breeze” version of the Patagonia route, for example, reduces daily mileage and adds extra rest days, while the “Full Throttle” path ramps up distances for those craving a true endurance test.

What really sets Beyond apart, though, is the narrative woven into each ride. Travelers won’t just be pedaling past scenery; they’ll hear stories from locals about ancient trade routes, participate in traditional festivals, and even contribute to community projects—like helping plant native trees in the Philippines.

Feedback from the pilot group has been glowing. One participant, Maya L., described the Namibia tour as “the most humbling experience of my life—riding under a sky so clear you could see the Milky Way even at dusk.” Another, veteran cyclist Dan R., praised the seamless blend of adventure and comfort, noting that “the gear, the guides, the food—everything felt thoughtfully curated.”

ExperiencePlus is already booking trips for the upcoming summer season, with limited spots to maintain an intimate group size. Prices start at $4,200 per person for a ten‑day adventure, a figure that includes all accommodations, meals, and bike rentals.

Whether you’re a seasoned road warrior or someone who’s only ever ridden a bike to the corner store, Beyond promises a journey that stays with you long after the last pedal stroke. After all, the world is big, the roads are many, and sometimes the best way to discover a place is on two wheels, with a touch of daring and a lot of heart.
