Details of the experience

You’ll start with a quick lesson to get the hang of driving, then head out with a local guide leading the way.
Cruise past historic temples and along quiet countryside lanes. From March to April, enjoy fields of blooming rapeseed and lotus flowers; in summer, lush green rice paddies stretch into the distance.
And from mid-October to early November, don’t miss the photogenic fields of blooming cosmos — a seasonal highlight!
You're welcome to film your ride with your own action camera!
