Still commonly referred to by locals as 'Saigon', Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam and the country's commercial hub. Here, you can find an eclectic mix of the traditional and the new, where pagodas and markets compete alongside the trappings of Vietnam's new...
First thing this morning, we drive for 90 minutes - through Saigon's remarkable rush-hour traffic - to reach the quieter suburbs. We'll collect our bikes near the remains of an old US military base and start our ride to Ben Duoc (30 kilometres/18.6 miles), the site of...
Today we journey down into the Mekong Delta, to explore the hinterland between the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Leaving Saigon by bus, a two-hour drive brings us to Binh Duc (My Tho), from where we begin cycling through a landscape of waterways, markets, ...
Departing Saigon this morning, we head north through the southern Central Highlands towards the mountain town of Dalat (set at 1,500 metres/4,922 feet elevation). After a two-hour drive, we pedal off on a picturesque 30-kilometre/18.6-mile ride through the hills of th...
Hop on the bus as we depart Dalat this morning, driving for 30 minutes before we pedal off. The beginning of today's ride is on relatively quiet mountain roads with plenty of ascent and descent for the first 20 kilometres/12.4 miles. We'll stop for a break then head ...
Thanks to its beautiful bays, golden beaches and turquoise waters, Nha Trang has quickly grown into a bustling town and popular tourist destination. Weather permitting, this morning we take a cruise out to explore the surrounding seas and islands. We'll aim to stop ne...
Travelling by bus this morning, we continue along the coast to the city of Quy Nhon. We'll drive north over the scenic Ca Pass to Bai Tien Song Cau. From here, we resume our journey by bike with a 60-kilometre/37.3-mile ride to complete the final leg to Quy Nhon and o...
Departing Quy Nhon this morning, we cycle out across Thi Nai Bridge, the longest sea bridge in Vietnam, which connects the city with the Phuong Mai Peninsula. Once across, we'll continue by bike along the Quy Nyon lagoon towards Phu My some 50 kilometres/31.1 miles aw...
The historic merchant town of Hoi An was one of the busiest international trading ports of Southeast Asia in the 17th and 18th centuries. Colonised by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it still retains its charm today. This morning, we'll take a walk through the h...
Leaving Hoi An after breakfast, we travel by bus up the coast to Danang followed by a twisting drive up to the lofty heights of the Hai Van (Sea Cloud) Pass. This stunningly scenic region once marked the boundary between Vietnam and the Champa Kingdom to the south and...
Once the capital of Vietnam and an inspiration for poets and artists alike for centuries, Hue is still a thriving and important city. First thing this morning, we'll drive to the impressive Old Citadel that still dominates the left bank of the river. After visiting th...
Arriving in the Vietnamese capital early this morning, we'll drive to the hotel in time for breakfast. Later this morning, we then drive (two-and-a-half hours) to the Gulf of Tonkin and the breathtaking scenery of Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of th...
This morning, we'll continue cruising through this wonderfully scenic landscape, enjoying the serenity of its limestone islands and visiting some of the caves (the optional cave visits can involve climbing some slippery steps). Returning to shore mid-morning, we'll th...
The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel in Hanoi. There are no activities planned today, so you're free to depart from Hanoi at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day, luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you'd like an airport ...
