Snakebite MTB Adventures is a small family business that organises MTB tours and rents out good quality MTBs in Moraira. Run by Mike, Snakebite aims to deliver tailor-made services for individuals and small groups who want to enjoy one or more days of their Costa Blanca holiday out on the mountain bike.
Having started in 2014 with guided tours for both road cyclists and mountain bikers under the name ´Cycle Guide Moraira´, has evolved to a 100% MTB rental and touring business. Mike chose to focus on mountain biking because of the love of the nature and landscape. "There are so many beautiful things to see here from the MTB", says Mike. "When you arrive here with the notion of crowded beaches in mind, you'll be amazed when you hop on the MTB. Cycling across gravel roads, through vineyards, picturesque villages and passing small coves at the seaside, the mountain bike is ideal to surround yourself with beauty and tranquility."
To be able to share that experience and to fulfil their guests' wishes as well as possible is Snakebite's mission. "Working with guests is really enjoyable. The people that come here are looking for a peaceful break and a nice experience. To help achieve that, is gratifying", Mike says.

Mike´s partner, Esmé, manages about 15 holiday homes in and around Moraira. She has a similar goal as Mike: to have satisfied guests that will return to Moraira because they had a perfect stay. In practice, the combination of their two businesses - Snakebite MTB and Matinina Holiday Rentals - works very well together.
For Mike and Esmé, Moraira offers the ideal combination of the thriving atmosphere, the restaurants and terraces of the coast and the proximity of the peace and quiet and nature of the hinterland. You won't find large scale tourist accommodations in Moraira, yet there is a vast choice of quality restaurants. The main MTB areas are between just four - eight kilometres away. The village of Moraira is lively all year round, from the busy summers to the more quiet winters. |
