The Sacred Rides Difference
PEACE OF MIND POLICIES
From our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee to out Lifetime Deposit Policy, you can relax knowing that we have you covered with our industry-leading Peace of Mind Policies . Learn more below.
SMALL TOUCHES, BIG DIFFERENCE
By joining a Sacred Ride, you become part of our family and you’re treated as such. From little things like personalized videos, handwritten postcards and care packages to very BIG things like ensuring the post-ride beers are chilled to perfection, we’re looking out for you every step of the way.
OVER 2 DECADES ON TOP
We’re not ones to pump air in our tires, but with well over two decades of experience, several awards and thousands of Rides around the world under our belt, we’ve come to learn a thing or two about what it takes to deliver a trip of a lifetime.
RIDES BY AND FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS
All of our Rides are guided by friendly, knowledgeable and expertly trained guides who are passionate riders. Plus, when you hop on the phone with one of our Rider Happiness Managers, you know you’re speaking with someone who lives and breathes mountain biking, too. Nobody gets you like we do.
POSITIVE IMPACT
Guided by our Responsible Riding mandate, our goal is to have a positive impact wherever we operate. We keep as many dollars in local communities as possible by using small, locally-owned accommodations and restaurants (and staying away from big chains), employing local guides and supporting local community projects and MTB clubs.
MEANINGFUL ADVENTURES
Our Rides take you off the beaten path to provide you with a deeper, more intimate experience that you can’t get from the seat of a tour bus. We always start with great riding, then add layers of interaction with locals and unique experiences designed to give you a better appreciation for the areas you’re visiting.
Our Core Purpose
This is why we do what we do.
To inspire you to live life to the fullest through unbeatable mountain biking experiences.
- By challenging you to safely get out of your comfort zone
- By connecting you with other people, places and cultures
- By moving you with soul-stirring locations and experiences
- By thrilling you with spine-tingling moments of pure joy and awe
Complete Peace of Mind
Planning an adventure doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s how we have your back at every step:
14-Day Risk-Free Booking Window
Got cold feet? Couldn’t find a good flight or get the time off work? Cancel up to 2 weeks after your initial booking and get 100% of your deposit back, no questions asked.
Lifetime Deposits
Need to cancel after those initial 2 weeks? As long as you give us 2 months notice or more, your deposit is good with us forever — just transfer it to another Ride when you’re ready to join us again with zero penalty.
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
Not 100% satisfied with your Sacred Rides experience? That’s unlikely to happen, but if it does, we’ll give you a free trip. If we haven’t won you back after your free ride, we’ll refund your money.
Rider Screening Process
All of our Rides require an application to ensure that everyone who joins these trips are a good fit for the difficulty level. This helps ensure that you’re booked on the right Ride, as are the other people joining you.
Smallest Client to Guide Ratio (4:1)
Whereas most companies try to squeeze as many clients per guide, we know offering the smallest client to guide ratio in the industry allows you to ride at your preferred pace, and ultimately leads to a better experience for everyone.
Our Guiding Principles
These are the values that guide our every decision.
- Be the change we want to see in the world.
- Do things differently and take smart risks.
- Make decisions that will make sense 100 years from now.
- Give back to the people and places that support us.
- Have fun and be a little ridiculous.
- Wow our customers with every interactions.
- Be 100% accountable.

Gravel Biking. The name is both perfectly fitting and misleading at the same time. The surface will be gravel, paved, dirt and even smooth trail. When you toss your leg over a gravel bike, you buy a ticket to endless routes nearly void of cars, with access to remote and breathtaking destinations. The ride will have you hooked.
