Itinerary
Meet in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) for dinner at one of the best restaurants in town!
Transfer a short distance out of town and ride to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels.
Rise early to catch a plane for a short flight to Dalat, once a favorite summer retreat among the French. Upon arrival, we'll test our bikes and cycle along lovely country lanes and back roads in the shadow of Mount Langbian.
From the hotel we tackle some big hills, including a 2,000-m pass, as we ride through dramatic mountains towards the beach resort town of Nha Trang.
For a rest day off the bikes we offer a boat trip to coral islands for swimming and snorkeling.
Riding from Nha Trang we stick to the coast, pass fishing villages and have time for a swim. The afternoon ride is flat and on quiet countryside lanes.
Riding along a remote road through a mix of tribal and Viet villages, we cover some gentle hills before reaching Quy Nhon.
We follow the coastal road to Tra O lagoon past many fishing villages. After lunch we cruise along the coast to Highway One before transferring to Quang Ngai for the night.
We’ll visit the Thien An pagoda on our way to see My Lai, the site of one of the worst massacres of the American/Vietnam War. Our cycle route loops to Ha Lam and we end our day in Hoi An.
We ride to visit My Son, the ancient centre of Cham civilization. Although many of the temples were destroyed during the Vietnam War, the existing sites are still sure to impress most visitors. We transfer by bus back to Hoi An.
This is the toughest but also the most rewarding day of riding. We start with a climb up Hai Van Pass with breathtaking views of the coast. We then take a coastal side road all the way to Hue, the old capital of the Nguyen Dynasty.
After cruising on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda we get back on bicycle to visit Ming Mang Mausoleum. Then we transfer to the railway station for an overnight train to Ninh Binh.
We cycle from our hotel through spectacular karst scenery with limestone mountains soaring in the middle of rice paddies. At Cuc Phuong National Park we visit the primate rescue centre before checking into our accommodation.
After exploring more of the park by bike we head east, riding some interesting back roads through many pineapple plantations. We then transfer to Haipong, one of Vietnam’s major ports.
After the morning transfer we catch a ferry to Fulong on Cat Ba Island. Once off the boat we roll 27 km on the island’s only road and In the afternoon you are free to explore the area before spending the night on the this heavenly island.
We have a short ride in the morning and head for a memorable cruise through majestic Halong Bay. Then we transfer to Hanoi and meet again in the evening for our farewell dinner.
Onward travel from Hanoi.

Tour Operator
SpiceRoads Cycling believes there's no better way to see the world than by bicycle. Because travel is about the journey and everything it encompasses, never just the destination. Experiencing the moment and place intensely, not chasing the next must-see sight. Discovering new things about the world, and yourself. Then returning home with experiences that remind you of what it means to be alive.
Since 1995 we've been sharing our passion for travelling by bicycle. Curating extraordinary cycle adventures in over 30 countries that give you the opportunity to get up close and personal with remarkable cultures, characters and landscapes in a way that no ordinary tour could.
We offer rides all over the world, on every type of terrain, for all ages and experience. From classic tours to epic cross-country voyages, SpiceRoads adventures are for anyone who believes what we always have…
That nothing good ever happened inside a comfort zone. That immersing yourself in different cultures teaches you things you would never learn in a textbook. That you get out of life precisely what you put in. And that travelling isn't just about seeing the world, it's about changing how you see it.
