Cycle Vietnam

Our first group guided bike tour was a wonderful way to see Vietnam. The daily distances seem daunting, but the riding routes are “cherry picked”. The cycling minimizes physical effort (terrain is undulating, flat or downhill) and maximizes scenic interest. The support team & bike mechanic provided excellent service & attention. Food was fantastic. Accommodation was better than anything we would have booked ourselves.

Cycle Northern Vietnam

The cycling tour exceeded our expectations, and we are already talking about the next cycling tour in southern Vietnam.

Northern Vietnam Cycling Tour: Mai Chau to Pu Luong

While living in Saigon I went on a large number of Mr Biker tours; as many as I could really. The organisation was always efficient, the team couldn't be more friendly, and the choice of routes was breathtaking every time. Mr Biker showed me the absolute best of Vietnam and that's saying a lot because it's a stunning country. Mr Biker trips were the highlight of my four years in Vietnam. Would recommend to anyone.

Cycling Mekong Delta in Vietnam 5 Days

We had an amazing time on this tour, and it more than beat our expectations. The support vehicle allowed us to avoid the "less than ideal" roads to cycle on and allowed us to spend our time enjoying the nicer more interesting routes. We rode through beautiful Rice fields and villages, along the river, through rural areas. There were lots of additional activities included such as the floating market and floating village, plus a few additional things we weren't expecting. Ngan/Mr Leo was an excellent guide, and was one of the best we have had on any tour. He was knowledgable, communicative, approachable and led the cycling at a pace that suited us well. He even invited us to his home and introudced us to his family for dinner. He is a great asset to the company, and we feel very fortunate to have had him as our guide. It is worth noting that this tour was advertised as being with e-bikes. However, standard mountain bikes were provided (Trek Marlin 5). This was not an issue for us, as the area is very flat, and we are used to cycling 50-60km a day. However, those who are relying on e-bikes should confirm that these will be provided. Additionally, although mountain bikes are appropriate for the rough and bumpy terrain found on parts of this tour, It might be worth the company replacing the mountain bike seats with more comfortable touring seats. Mountain bike seats are not designed to be sat on for 50km at a time, and even with the gel covers provided, they were painfully uncomfortable by the third day. The only critical feedback we would give is that the hotels are quite high end, and a budget accommodation choice would have been appreciated as a reduced cost option. Also, more importantly, we felt the bikes could do with receiving a little more maintenance, particularly given this is a 5 day tour. On one of the bikes we had, the brakes barely worked and had to be pulled very hard to slow down, and they made a very loud noise when applied. This is not really ideal for a 5 day tour, and could have been very dangerous. On the other one, the handlebar grips were perished and breaking away into rubber flakes and caused blisters on the hands and needed gloves to be worn (although it was too hot for them really). Overall the trip was one of the best trips we have taken part in and one of the best experiences we have had whilst travelling (over 80 countries). We wouldn't hesitate to reccommend it to anyone (and already have).

Cycling Vietnam: Hoi An package 5 days

Our guide Mai Thieu was fabulous and meant we had a great time and saw parts of Hoi A that we would not have accessed on our own. He was the perfect guide and happy to match the riding to our needs. Couldn’t recommend him and the whole tour more highly. Fantastic way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!

Cycling Vietnam’s Backroads 13 Days

I really loved this trip. A perfect way to see rural Vietnam. The trip was very memorable. Dat was an excellent guide Some suggestions (Not criticisms) which may help - Consider selling helpful equipment, and gloves as an extra cost - Consider dinners as optional. They were very good but perhaps had some flexibility

• 10% deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Vietnam Central Coast Cycling Tour

Just finished the Vietnam Central Coast bike tour. Our tour guide Minh and driver Tanh were the best. So friendly and helpful. The tour was a great way to see the coast line, rice fields, villages and fantastic people. Riding each day was great exercise and the best way to explore and experience new things. Minh’s knowledge as well as English speaking was excellent. We had heaps of laughs. Tanh ensured there was plenty of cold water, snacks and refreshments. Local cuisine was great. This was an excellent tour and we highly recommend it. Darren & Georgie (Australia)

Great trip. Lam was a fantastic leader!

Best Selling Vietnam Motorbike Tour to Sapa via Mu Cang Chai from Hanoi

We did a tour of Vietnam with DNQ Travel at the end of August. The service we received was second to none. Faultless service from the time we arrived to the time we left. The tour guides and drivers were brilliant and nothing was to much trouble. The hotels we stayed at were great choices and made our stay really special. I can recommend the services of DNQ Travel who provided the best service I have ever known. A big thank you and well done I will certainly be using your services again in the future.

Vietnam Motorbike Tour from Hanoi to Hoi An, Da Nang on Ho Chi Minh Trail & Along the Coast

We had a small group of 3 plus a guide from Hanoi to Saigon. Mr Dong and the DNQ Travel company are very professional so have no fear of the trip not being well organised or fraud. Their communication with customers is also very prompt. Our guide was excellent, breakdowns like flat tyres or clutch cable breaks - he managed. The bikes were Honda CRF 250cc and were fantastic over any terrain. We biked through 2 typhoons and other wet weather - well one was mostly on a re8st day!

Cycle Saigon to Hanoi

All pretty good really. A couple of easy points though: Our guide was absolutely terrific but (so blame whatever on him please) we didnt have any chance to look closely into any active religious events, spaces, ceremonies, or temples, an important part of the country's culture. There were several rather too similar visits to ex-palace museums and mausoleums, so I think one or two of these could be substituted by something interesting or ceremonial in different current local religious practices/venues. The 'snorkel event' needs further thought. Nice day out on the boat, sure, but the sea bed in the snorkel site is nothing to write home about and the water isnt too clean. There are health and safety issues too as the vessel was anchored some distance from the snorkel site and the weather was a little breezy and choppy. Given that most of the group I was with were 'senior citizens', I found it odd that there was no safety swimmer standing by and no obvious recovery line/float system.

Road Biking the Ho Chi Minh Highway

Go now before Vietnam changes. It was an epic tour into small towns and villages where people stopped to stare at us, ask to have photos taken with us,and where children ran to the road to wave and shout hello. The scenery is beyond description. The towns are changing rapidly as the Ho Chi Minh Highway brings the desired economic development to this region of Vietnam. In a few years it will be impossible to repeat this experience.

Vietnam by Bike

The guide was excellent. Tm was really great , very knowledgeable and fun. The trip was very well organized and well staffed. The accommodations were fine as well. Dining places sometimes were too "touristy". The trip was fast paced and had a pretty good itinerary but I wish it skipped Nha Trang and added Dalat instead and also Mekong River rather than Cu Chi Tunnels. The biking could be more spread out but the biking routes were interesting and often challenging which was great.

This was our first trip with Explore - and indeed our first Group trip. Everything was amazing. The amount of cycling was perfect, rest stops, support teams, photo opportunities, planning.....everything. A group of four people is a little 'intense' however on the whole we navigated the relationships well within the group. One of the highlights for us was Binh himself. He was such an amazing Guide/Tour Leader - words don't really convey how important he was to our enjoyment of the experience. For us, his personal stories made Vietnam's history come alive, and yet he took care to convey many perspectives on the recent history of the country and people. We were able to meet his parents and visit his home which was really a very special moment. Binh is a real asset to Explore. He is articulate, skilled, very caring and respectful - to the people of Vietnam, to the tour participants and support teams, and to the organisation Explore. With development and growth opportunities he could go very far as a mentor and leader in the company and in the tour industry.

Cycling Vietnam Saigon - Hanoi

Having been to Vietnam before, we booked this tour as a new way of experiencing this wonderful country. It did not disappoint. With Tung's expert guidance we explored the highlands and central coast, mostly using little-travelled backroads that took us through grand scenery and busy villages, through rice fields, across passes and along countless shrimp farms and monuments to ancestors. We cycled a total of 500km in the 10 biking days, but the daily amount is flexible as the van accompanying us would enable a shortening (or extending) of daily distances. Taking our food preferences into account we were guided to local eateries and street food vendors where we experienced the best local dishes. Accomodations were excellent and the fact that we had nothing to worry about at all during the whole trip made this tour absolutely the best way to visit Vietnam. I wholeheartedly recommend their tour to anyone who is keen on some active exploration of Vietnam and hope to be able to return myself to do some more exploring with them!

Vietnam bike tours.

Hanoi  ·  Ho Chi Minh City  ·  Hoi An

Vietnam is a country benefiting from intense tourism interest, owing to its attractive subtropical climate, verdant landscapes, and the vibrant draw of its capital, Hanoi, and largest city, Ho Chi Minh City. It's a country of immense natural beauty, with 40% of its landmass defined by majestic mountains, and another 42% by richly tropical forests. The magnificent Mekong Delta River graces the south of the country, whilst the glittering coverings of rice paddies on Vietnam’s verdant hillsides form an iconic Southeast Asian vista that, once seen, is not easily forgotten.

Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV), forms the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, bordering China to the north and Laos and Cambodia to the west. In the 20th Century, Vietnam was a country greatly troubled by conflict. Relics of the country’s resilience in fighting off French advances during the First Indochina War can be found in the Long Phuoc Tunnels and the War Remnants Museum of Ho Chi Minh City.

Whether you’re captivated by the verdant natural beauty of its mountains, rivers, and rice paddies, or by the phenomenal history of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, you’re guaranteed an entrancing experience in the star of Southeast Asia. A guided bicycle tour is an exceptional option for exploring the natural and historical wonders of Vietnam, from a bike ride through the emerald rice paddies along the Mekong Delta, to an urban day tour of discovery in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Take a ride to monumental temples boasting exquisitely colorful exteriors, such as the Cao Dai Temple and Jade Emperor Pagoda, or cycle through Vietnam’s subtropical jungles, immersing yourself in the exotic beauty of this entrancing country.

“It has a little bit of everything when it comes to culture, amazing food, beautiful people, exotic sights, sounds and profound history of love, bravery and resilience.”

After a hearty breakfast, we take a short transfer out of Hue to visit the Thanh Toan Bridge, an ancient architectural monument extremely valuable in terms of its history and culture. This is one of two bridges remaining in Vietnam today that retains its unique architectural style. We then cycle on to Dam Chuon Lagoon, a part of the Tam Giang Lagoon system. This is a must-see spot for all those who are lovers of beautiful scenery and keen photographers.

We continue riding to Thuan An beach, an ideal place for relaxation. On the way to the beach, there will be many houses, temples, pagodas, rice fields, and beautiful gardens to see and explore. Upon arrival at the beach, enjoy a swim and then jump back on the bikes and head to Con Te Islet.

Loopback to Hue, and stop at Sinh Village – an ancient village well known for its artists and beautiful, traditional, craft woodblock paintings.

After a hearty breakfast, we take a short transfer out of Hue to the coast. Begin riding off the beaten track along a picturesque, narrow peninsular road. Cross the estuary of the Perfume River and from here, challenge yourself by cycling up the Phuoc Tuong Pass then take a short transfer to Lang Co and have lunch by the gorgeous lagoon.

The architectural beauty of Hoi An will captivate you as this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a melange of Vietnamese, European, Chinese, and Japanese monuments in an unhurried, timeless setting.

Today bike in the tropical countryside, past tree-canopied rice farms and lush green fields and paddies.

Day 9 : Nha Trang

Another good day at the saddle. Ride past network of lush rice fields which blanket the valley. Admire the ocean view around the Vung Ro bay before meeting the pass which is a natural border between the provinces. Descend down to stunning Dai Lanh beach and take a break for a swim and lunch.

After lunch, continue riding along the coast and then turn on to the Hon Gom peninsular road for the final leg. This is our last day of riding along the Vietnamese coast and it’s a long ride. Enjoy it to the fullest.

Before arriving at Nha Trang, visit the famous Po Ngar Cham Towers, built between the 7th and 12th centuries and still actively used for worship.

Later take a transfer to Nha Trang and settle into your chosen Nha Trang hotel. Spend days at leisure in Nha Trang’s popular beachside cafes, restaurants, and bars where the fresh seafood is definitely worth a try, or take a boat trip to nearby coral islands.

Coastal Vietnam is a narrow crescent-like coastal strip that is at times only 60 km wide. As a result, it experiences coastal weather phenomena such as high rainfall and occasional typhoons during the wet season that runs from September to December. Travelers during this season should be prepared for last-minute changes to the itinerary. The Best season to visit this region is from January to September with the average temperature hovering around 30°C.

Residents from a number of countries have visa exemption status for tourist visits to Vietnam. For a full list of up-to-date visa-exempt countries, see the Vietnam Foreign Affairs website .

Starting August 15, 2023, the Vietnam government will start offering an e-visa valid for up to 90 days with multiple entries, replacing the current 30-day, single-entry option. Furthermore, passport holders from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom will benefit from an extended visa exemption period of 45 days, up from the current 15 days. Eligible foreign nationals will either benefit from a longer duration of stay and greater flexibility with the extended e-visa validity of up to 90 days and multiple entries, or enjoy an extended visa exemption period of 45 days.

e-Visa – You can apply for an e-visa through the government website, then, once approved, simply print it out and present it upon arrival in Vietnam. The additional benefit of the e-visa is that it's valid at land borders, not just airports. The processing time ranges from 2 to 7 working days. We recommend applying 2 weeks in advance to avoid unexpected delays. Read more about tourist e-visas for Vietnam at the Vietnam Immigration portal and apply there.

While applying online for an approval letter, please ensure that you have the following documents:

• Passport scanned copy: A scanned copy of your passport - front (main) page. It shouldn't be a mobile photo or a photo taken from a laptop. Strictly scanned copy done through a computer scanner.
• Passport size photo: portrait photo (4*6 size, colored photo, white background, straight looking without glasses). A photo taken from a mobile or laptop may or may not work, so I would strictly advise getting one made through a nearby photo studio (retail shop) that specializes in taking photos for visas.

Here is an excellent resource on Vietnam visas that may be worth looking at.

Reviews from our friends

Reviews—2023 and older.

Matt M. from US

EXCEPTIONAL

Like many travelers, I was worried about the reputation of "Art of Bicycles" before booking the trip because I had never used them before and I perused online reviews wherever I could find them... They were OVERWHELMINGLY positive and I was worried that it was too good to be true. Let me reassure you, they are absolutely EXCEPTIONAL! The forethought they put into our needs on the trip and the quick adjustments, kindness, and sense of urgency when anything additional was needed was just incredible. All of the accommodations were top notch and our guides were just AMAZING. I don't think we would have had even a fraction of the cultural experiences we enjoyed had we tried to do this trip ourselves. Art of Bicycles, you have won over a lifetime customer and I cannot wait for my next outing on the bike with you all at the helm. Thank you for taking such great care of us, and for the unforgettable experience!

James D. from US

We had a wonderful trip

We had a wonderful trip. The itinerary took us to places we didn't know we wanted to see and the pace was perfect. Our guide, Ky, was enjoyable to travel with, knowledgeable, and resourceful. The hotels and meals were amazing. I look forward to another Art of Bicycle Trips tour.

Walter W. from US

Great trip!

Great trip! This was my first time with any kind of cycle touring, and this experience proved to be a very interesting and intimate way to visit a country. Also, shout out to our guide and crew who put in a tremendous effort to ensure we had a smooth and comfortable experience. Thanks Art of Bicycle Trips!

Latin america, exploring vietnam by bicycle.

Bold, bustling, and vibrant. Vietnam offers adventure of all kinds, from within its cities to its majestic countryside. Engaging and inviting locals. Surprisingly sophisticated cuisine. And beautiful views around nearly every bend make Vietnam one of the most rewarding cycling destinations in Southeast Asia.

Stunning Scenery

Even at its thinnest point, just 50 kilometers across, Vietnam dazzles with one breathtaking view after another. Sprawling rice terraces and limestone peaks dominate the North, while mist-shrouded mountains give way to picturesque white sand beaches in the South. From bottom to top, Vietnam packs in more fantastic scenery than any other country in the region.

Cultural Pride

Vietnam today is indescribable without mention of the brutal conflict that took place half a century ago. Never one to be defined by the outside, Vietnam sees itself as anything but “war torn.” Bold, but friendly. Eager, but sincere. As you encounter the locals, you’ll find a proud people, ready for a chance to show you their culture on their own terms.

We really felt like we got a taste of how the locals live on the Mekong Delta.

Far eastern flair in a country of contrasts.

North Vietnam: A picture-perfect region

North Vietnam is an adventurer’s paradise: Explore the magnificent mountainous inland, the lively capital of Vietnam, Hanoi, and the spectacular Ha Long Bay rocks.

Ha Long Bay, with its 2,000 islands and striking limestone formations, is one of the most spectacular sights in Vietnam. The sinking limestone plateau, with its rich vegetation and biodiversity, was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1994. The name of the bay means “The Descending Dragon”. According to legend, the bay was created when a dragon carved deep furrows in the land with its tail, which was then filled with seawater.

The best way to admire this mythological landscape is on board a traditional junk. On our Islandhopping tour, you will also have the opportunity to take a guided kayak tour to explore lagoons, beaches, and caves hidden amongst these limestone giants. The area northeast of Ha Long Bay belongs to Bai Tu Long National Park, which has a bay of the same name, just as beautiful as its famous neighbour.

One of the best places to visit in Vietnam is the vibrant capital of Hanoi with its labyrinthine style alleys and colourful houses. This city is a mix of old and new, the traditional and the modern. A walk through the night market is one of the top 10 things to do in the city. Its beautiful colours, scents, and tastes make a holiday in Vietnam a feast for the senses!

Central Vietnam: Rich in culture and history

Central Vietnam is one of the most exciting regions on our tour through the country. The region is considered the cultural centre of Vietnam, not in the least because of the old imperial city of Hue, easily one of the top 10 places to visit in Vietnam. The former capital was the main residence of the emperors between 1802 and 1945. The citadel with its forbidden city still bears witness to the splendour of the time. There were more than 10,000 people living within the high walls of the palace who cared for the well-being of the imperial family. Next to the palace are the historically significant Imperial Tombs and the world-famous Thien Mu Pagoda (the Pagoda of the Celestial Lady), which was built seven storeys high. The cuisine in Hue is also considered one of the best in the country.

120 kilometers further south you can find the picturesque town Hoi An. The city impresses with its striking French and Chinese architecture and has a wealth of tailor shops where every traveller is sure to find something. Cyclists visiting the city also have a special treat to look forward to: The riverside path along the Thu Bon River is considered one of the most beautiful cycling tours in the country and a must do for any biker visiting the area.

Mekong Delta: The rice bowl of Vietnam

The Mekong Delta is often called the lifeline of Vietnam. In this region with its tropical climate, numerous canals wind through the mangrove swamps and rice fields. This precious water influences every aspect of life here: Houses on stilts, rice mills, people washing laundry, heavily loaded boats, waving children, and snorting water buffaloes line the banks. Watching this go by onboard a boat is a special experience and arguably one of the best things to do in Vietnam. At walking pace, we will pass by lavish nature, presenting itself in a rush of colour and fragrant fruit.

This is then contrasted with the bustling areas along the river such as the floating market of Cai Rang or the lively metropolis Can Tho, the so-called little Venice of Vietnam. For cyclists, the many islands in the middle of the delta offer ideal conditions for varied cycling tours: Shady paths, little traffic, and numerous bridges make these bike routes a relaxing pleasure.

Ho Chi Minh City, north of the Mekong Delta, should not be missed on a tour through Vietnam. As Vietnam’s largest city, there are plenty of things to do here, with numerous historical and cultural attractions on offer.

Vietnam: Hike, Bike & Kayak

11 days | cycle through rice paddies and villages, hike valleys and kayak turquoise waters of unesco islands.

The spectacular valleys and mountains of Vietnam were simply made for active exploration. On this 11-day adventure, you’ll put on your hiking shoes and get ready for an immersive journey that gets away from the bright lights of Hanoi and under the skin of Vietnam's bucolic countryside. In between trekking and cycling through lush landscapes, you’ll stop in at local villages and learn about traditional life, spending the night in rural homestays. After cycling through the valleys of Mai Chau and Ninh Binh and getting your heart rate up on Sapa’s hiking trails, you’ll head to UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cat Ba Island and kayak across the turquoise waters of Lan Ha Bay. Spend a night in a waterside resort in the bay and make the most of every sunset, before heading back to Hanoi and indulging in street food.

Trip overview

• Kayak around limestone karsts and explore the secluded lagoons and caves of Lan Ha Bay – the lesser visited but just as beautiful sister of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay.
• Hike through the picturesque valleys surrounding Sapa and visit local communities on a full-day active adventure – the best way to get to know a place is on two feet, after all!
• Cycle out to Mai Chau and on through the world-renowned karst landscapes to Ninh Binh. This area is known for its lush valleys and natural beauty.
• Explore Hanoi with ample free time to indulge in street food, get to know the locals at streetside eateries and hunt down one of the famed Vietnamese iced coffees.
• Spend some time in homestays, relaxing after full day cycling and hiking trips with traditional home-cooked meals and time to soak up the sunset form a hammock – this is the best chance to get to know the locals!
• By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, World Bicycle Relief. Donations provide school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas with bicycles that provide access to education, healthcare, and income.
• This trip has a number of activities to get your pulse going. While prior training for each activity is not necessary, a moderate level of fitness will help you to get the most out of all the activities.
• The hike in the hills of Sapa is approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) in total, on sometimes steep and uneven terrain.
• You’ll spend two days on your bike, riding to Mai Chau and Ninh Binh, with approximately 60 to 70 km of cycling each day. The cycling in these areas is relatively flat, and you’ll have time to get used to your bike in Hanoi before departing.
• There are 3 nights in a homestay on this trip in Khau Pha, Sapa and Mai Chau. Accommodation will be in multishare rooms with simple bedding and shared bathroom facilities. While accommodation is simple, the warm welcome and home-cooked meals will be comforting after a day of exercise.

Xin chao! Welcome to Vietnam. Your adventure begins in Hanoi with a welcome meeting at 6 pm. If you arrive early, why not head out and discover Hanoi at your own pace. Take a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake and visit Ngoc Son Temple, start sampling the delicious street food or visit the Museum of Ethnology to find out more about the homes and lives of Vietnam’s ethnic communities. After the welcome meeting, you might like to join your group for an optional dinner at one of Hanoi's fantastic restaurants or streetside eateries.

• Hotel (1 night)

There are no meals included on this day.

It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance details and next of kin information at this time. If you are going to be late please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

After breakfast this morning, escape the city and board a private minibus to the small village of Khau Pha – a community-based tourism project designed to empower and bring positive impact for Vietnam’s ethnic minorities. Located just below the spectacular Khau Phạ Pass in an area of natural beauty, this area has all of the best features of Northern Vietnam – think green terraced rice paddies, clear streams, towering hills and few tourists. After lunch, go on a relaxed walk around the village to see the rich cultural heritage of Khau Pha, like how the locals create traditional Thai fabric and cloth. After the walk, you’ll head to dinner and then settle in for the night in one of the four stilt houses that have been redesigned by local families.

• Homestay (1 night)
• Traditional Thai Cloth making demonstration

Your travel time today will be approximately 5 hours.

Start the day early and drive to the town of Sapa, the starting point for today’s trek. You’ll stop for lunch and photo ops along the way before arriving in Lao Chai. From here, join your local guide and start your hike into the heart of the Vuon Quoc via Hoang Lien State Park, trekking through the dramatic landscapes of rural Vietnam on a trek to Ta Van. Along the way, you'll pass by terraced farms ripe with corn and rice, over brooks and through villages. When you arrive in the small village, sit down for a well-earned home-cooked dinner and settle into your local family homestay.

• Sapa - Lao Chai to Ta Van trek & Homestay

Your travel time today will be approximately 5 hours. Your trekking distance will be approximately 10 km (6.2 mi).

You’ll need to pack your overnight essentials into a smaller daypack, which you’ll carry on the trek for your homestay tonight. You can store your main luggage in Sapa overnight.

This morning you’ll trek to Su Pan before taking some time to rest your feet on a bus ride back to Sapa. In the afternoon, the group returns to Hanoi, giving you a chance to rest, take a nap or play some road trip games with your fellow travellers. When you arrive back in Hanoi, maybe seek a bird's eye view of the city from one of the popular rooftop bars or stop street side for dinner and unwind with one of the famed iced coffees.

• Sapa - Ta Van to Su Pan trek

Vietnam's capital is best explored on foot, so this morning your group will head out on a city walking tour. See the final resting place of Vietnam's revered revolutionary at Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and Museum before stopping by the Temple of Literature. Although the shrine was originally built in the 11th century and is therefore considered to be the city's oldest temple, the current structure and shrine to Confucius date back to the 18th century. This afternoon, jump on a bike for a leisurely cycling trip around Hanoi's West Lake. Tonight you’ll have free time to grab some Bahn Mi or Bun Cha (noodles with grilled meat) for dinner.

• Hanoi - Old Quarter Walking Tour
• Hanoi - West Lake bike ride
• Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh Complex

Leave Hanoi behind this morning and jump on your bike for a cycling trip to the Mai Chau Valley. There are some great photo opportunities along the way, including the viewpoint of Mai Chau – home to a variety of minority groups with their own unique cultures and languages. You’ll also have the opportunity to help local farmers plant rice seeds into the fields! Arrive in Mai Chau and head to the village of Pom Coong, where your local guide will introduce you to your hosts for lunch, and provide information on the region's people, lifestyles, customs and culture. This is a great opportunity to experience the local area, chat with your hosts and gain a real insight into life in this region. After lunch, you’ll have some free time before saddling up for another cycling trip to the nearby villages. Back at the homestay tonight, relax with a cold drink while watching the sun set over the mountains.

• Mai Chau - Pom Coong Village visit & traditional lunch
• Mai Chau - Cycling

Your cycling distance today will be approximately 60 km (37 mi).

At the homestay tonight, you’ll sleep on mattresses in a communal room. Bedding and mosquito nets are provided. Shared toilet and bathroom facilities are basic.

After breakfast this morning, you’ll set out again on your bike on a cycling trip from Mai Chau to Ninh Binh – a region well known for its lush green valleys, karst mountains and conservation areas. Ride through more paddy fields, testing your riding skills (or suspension) with shallow potholes and passing farmers drawn by water buffalo. After a day riding through green fields, small villages and waterways, you’ll have a free evening to recharge.

• Mai Chau to Ninh Binh cycling

Your cycling distance today will be approximately 70 km (43 mi).

Catch a bus this morning from Ninh Binh to Hai Phong, then jump on a ferry to Cat Ba Island. This island sits at the southeastern edge of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay. Lan Ha Bay, where Cat Ba can be found, is part of Ha Long Bay but with the additional attraction of white-sand beaches. When you arrive, check in to your peaceful hilltop accommodation and soak up a free afternoon by taking it easy in a hammock. Alternatively, you can opt to keep your heart rate up with a hike or a trip to the beach.

• Lodge (1 night)

Explore the waters and limestone karsts of Lan Ha Bay on a full-day boat trip today. Get up close to the karsts on a short kayak paddle in the still waters beside the tree-clad outcrops – Ha Long Bay's World Heritage designation was extended to the Cat Ba archipelago due to its similar aesthetic of turquoise water and junk boats that are a quintessential picture of Vietnam – and, there are less tourists here, too! You’ll have lunch aboard the boat, with plenty of opportunities for a cheeky selfie. Spend a second night on Cat Ba Island tonight, with the evening free to visit the local restaurants and bars.

• Cat Ba Island - Kayaking

Say goodbye to Cat Ba Island this morning and head back to Hanoi. Arrive in the late afternoon and make the most of your free time – maybe head down to the markets for some last-minute souvenir shopping or visit one of the city's many museums or historical sites. The Fine Arts Museum and Hoa Lo 'Hanoi Hilton' Prison are good options. In the evening, why not head out for a farewell dinner with your group and toast the end of this amazing active adventure.

• Hanoi - Fine Arts Museum - VND30000

Has been really good riding the Himalaya motorcycles- great bikes, enjoyed riding and experience the great scenery in Vietnam. My first time in Vietnam has been really great riding with you guys.

We didn’t have our license to ride out our own bike so we decide to do the Pillion ride which was awesome. It meant that we can see so much of the Vietnam country side. We went through a bunch of smaller towns. We had so much fun! The bikes are comfy and it is an awesome way to get from one place to the next. - Rosie

We got to meet some great people. The guides themselves are so knowledgeable about the country, its history, and everything about it, the food, the culture. We just learned a lot and just had a really good time. We can’t recommend it enough, it was great. Such a great time. - Alex

From the rat race and Chaos of the city streets to the unexpectedly scenic winding roads through the hills, every minute was fantastic.

A great ride up the Ho Chị Minh Trail. in the mix with concrete, cobblestone, hot mix, a few trails, history, mountain passes and memories. My son, 8 years old, loved the road trip—his first. Will always be memorable. Thanks Onyabike Adventures. See you again next year.

It’s hard to imagine better a team than Onyabike to show you Vietnam by Motorbike. After years of living in Vietnam, getting into the Hills on a Himalayan is still one of the most thrilling ways to experience this crazy country.

We’ve just done seven-day Central Vietnam tour with Hawk and Viet on the Royal Enfield 400 Himalayan. Absolutely great bike, great riding all sorts of variety of roads, great fun all the time... I enjoyed the Himalayan. - Eric

As a passenger, I was a little bit apprehensive about being on quite a small bike, but it was very comfortable and felt really good and seem to handle really well... It was really fantastic, really enjoyed it. - Catherine

We didnt have a licence ,so we decided to do the pillion ride , which was awesome it meant that we could see so much more of the vietnam countryside ,visit local small towns try local food,we had so much fun, was an awesome way to get from Hoi An to Phong Nha , the bikes where so comfortable, I highly recommend you try the ride.

We learnt a lot from the guides ,they are  so easy to get along with and showed us around the good spots of vietnam, all the spots you would never be able to get to if you didnt do this tour .

I cant recommend it enough, just do it.

Im Jasmine from Singapore i just went on the onyabike tour to Sontra mountain with Viet , he was amazing  the whole tour was amazing I highly recommend it
