Day 1: (4th July 2027) Hanoi – Vu Linh (Approx. 180 Km) (L/D)

Your Vietnam motorcycle tour begins as you leave the vibrant streets of Hanoi behind and head into the open countryside. The ride starts with smooth on-road sections, giving you time to settle into the journey while enjoying the shifting scenery of valleys, quiet villages, and rolling hills.

By the afternoon, you arrive in Vu Linh village, home to the Dao ethnic community, where life flows at a slower, more authentic pace. A boat trip on Thac Ba Lake introduces one of the most serene landscapes in Northern Vietnam. Often compared to Ha Long Bay in the mountains, the lake is scattered with limestone islands rising from calm, reflective waters.

Day 2: (5th July 2027) Vu Linh – Ha Giang (Approx. 170 Km) (B/L/D)

Today, the journey becomes more adventurous as you ride deeper into the mountains. The route blends long on-road stretches with sections of off-road trails, bringing you closer to untouched natural surroundings.

The scenery grows more dramatic, with higher peaks, winding roads, and remote villages rarely reached by tourists. This is where the adventure truly begins, as you transition from a relaxed ride into a more challenging and rewarding off-road experience before arriving in Ha Giang.

Day 3: (6th July 2027) Ha Giang – Dong Van (Approx. 155 Km) (B/L/D)

This is one of the most breathtaking days of the entire Vietnam motorcycle tour. You enter the Dong Van Karst Plateau, a region famous for its rugged limestone formations and dramatic mountain scenery.

The road winds through steep passes and along cliff edges, offering wide panoramic views. A mix of on-road and technical riding keeps the day both exciting and engaging. Along the way, you pass through ethnic villages where traditional ways of life have remained unchanged for generations.

Arriving in Dong Van, you experience the unique charm of this highland town surrounded by towering peaks.

Day 4: (7th July 2027) Dong Van – Meo Vac – Bao Lac (Approx. 120 Km) (B/L/D)

The day begins with a ride across Ma Pi Leng Pass, one of the most iconic roads in Vietnam. Towering cliffs and deep valleys carved by the Nho Que River create a truly unforgettable landscape.

This stage offers a balanced mix of smooth on-road riding and adventurous off-road sections as you continue toward Bao Lac through remote, untouched areas. It’s a day filled with both thrilling moments and incredible scenery.

Day 5: (8th July 2027) Bao Lac – Ban Gioc Waterfall (Approx. 200 Km) (B/L/D)

Today’s route takes you along lesser-known roads, combining comfortable on-road riding with sections of off-road exploration. The journey feels remote and authentic, with fewer travelers and more opportunities to experience local life along the way.

Arriving at Ban Gioc Waterfall, you are greeted by one of Vietnam’s most impressive natural wonders. The powerful cascades set against lush green mountains create a scene that is both dramatic and peaceful—one of the true highlights of the journey.

Day 6: (9th July 2027) Ban Gioc Waterfall – Ba Be Lake (Approx. 180 Km) (B/L/D)

Leaving Ban Gioc behind, the route leads through quiet countryside and forested hills. Today’s ride is more relaxed, with smooth roads that allow you to fully take in the surrounding scenery.

Ba Be Lake offers a completely different atmosphere calm, green, and deeply peaceful. Surrounded by limestone mountains and dense forest, it is considered one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Northern Vietnam.

Take time to enjoy a boat trip or simply unwind after several days of riding through more challenging terrain.

Day 7: (10th July 2027) Ba Be – Hanoi (Approx. 220 Km) (B/L)

On the final day, you ride back toward Hanoi as the mountainous terrain gradually gives way to flatter landscapes filled with rice fields and rural life.

This longer on-road stretch offers time to reflect on the journey—from off-road challenges and winding mountain passes to cultural encounters and breathtaking natural scenery.

By late afternoon, you return to Hanoi, completing a 7-day motorcycle tour filled with unforgettable experiences and the true spirit of adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers! Find common queries about our adventure programs.

Test Despite of the fact that Vietnamese government attempts to outlaw the practice, the US Dollars still acts as an alternative currency which is almost completely interchangeable with Vietnam Dong. Many prices, especially for hotels, tours and expensive restaurants, are still quoted in USD, though you can pay in dong if you’d rather - just check what exchange rate they’re using.

For everyday expenses, we recommend you carry a mix of US Dollars cash and Vietnam Dong. For larger items or when the exchange rate works in your favour, use dollars. For cyclos, local food stalls and small purchases, it’s best to use Vietnam Dong. In either case, make sure you always have a stock of small notes so that there is no need to worry about change.

The short answer is, there's never a bad time to visit Vietnam! Not all seasons are created equal though and there are pros and cons to each.

March - April is typically the best season in terms of weather to visit Vietnam. Expect sun, mild temperatures and limited rain! This also means busy season, so make sure to book in advance if you plan to visit during these months.

May - August is the hotter times of the year in Vietnam and also the rainier season. Don't be too scared of the rain though! It typically only lasts an hour or two per day, if that. This rarely disrupts travel or our tours and you get to enjoy warmer weather.

September - November are a secret gem of a time to visit Vietnam. The temperature becomes more moderate than the summer, rain stops, and the conditions are perfect for trekking or motorcycle trips. This is also when Full Moon Celebrations happen in Vietnam, so it's a particularly festive season to experience Vietnamese culture.

December - February are the coldest months in Vietnam. During these months you may prefer to visit the southern parts of Vietnam which are warmer, and we have many tours that operate there!
