Details

Cycle from electric Ho Chi Minh City to the thrilling capital of Hanoi, going beyond the guidebook to experience the true Vietnam. On this immersive adventure, we ride through fishing villages, folding rice terraces and jungle-cloaked mountains, while also climbing the twisting coastal roads of the famed Hai Van Pass. Off-the-bike adventures include an overnight cruise among the spectacular limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay, a two-night stay on the tropical Whale Island and countless interactions with smiling local people.

Highlights

  • Discover the best of Vietnam by bike – the most immersive way to experience the country
  • Cycle the famed Hai Van Pass, a challenging climb rewarded with incredible views on the way down
  • Crawl underground through the Cu Chi war tunnels, a poignant reminder of the recent past
  • Relax with two nights at a tropical beachside resort on Whale Island
  • Cruise among the magnificent limestone peaks of Ha Long Bay – a spectacular end to the trip!

Included in Price

  • All breakfasts, nine lunches and one dinner are included. Thanks to the tropical climate, the long coast and the gigantic range of mountains, Vietnam is blessed with numerous varieties of culinary offerings and consequently maintains its reputation as one of the healthiest cuisines in the world that still packs a punch with delicious, fresh and fiery flavours. Vietnamese food relies on fresh fish, vegetables, rice and a myriad of verdant herbs and spices; lemongrass, ginger, basil and lime all play an important role in the cuisine. The Chinese and French influence is felt throughout the country where you are just as likely to be offered a banh mi (stuffed baguette) as you are a hot steaming bowl of pho (noodle soup). Each dish is prepared with the Asian principle of Wu Xing in mind (the five elements); meaning that the perfect combination of spicy, sour, bitter, salty and sweet is the ultimate aim. Be sure to also seek out the national beverages; Vietnamese coffee is served iced and sweet with condensed milk, a real sugar and caffeine hit, and beer hoi (local beer, brewed daily) is served on most street corners in the north out of large plastic jugs that are perfect for sharing. Food is cheap in Vietnam and you can generally avoid the spicier food if you wish. Western food is readily available almost everywhere. Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. Please note that in South East Asia the availability of certain specialised products for restricted diets, eg gluten-free or dairy-free, is minimal or non-existent and we strongly recommend you bring these specialised dietary items from home. You may find it beneficial to bring ‘cycling snacks’ with you from home if you have high-energy bars or gels that you like to use during a ride. For those who wish to contribute, a kitty is normally arranged – fresh fruit, nuts, biscuits and local snacks are all provided from the snacking kitty along with homemade lemonade if the season is right.
