Return
Cycle northwards through the best of south and central Vietnam, starting in the highlands before following beautiful sandy coastal stretches. After a short flight to the colonial-era town of Dalat, you'll enjoy a stunning six-day cycle to Hoi An. Lead by an expert guide, you’ll ride in a small group on high-quality e-bikes. Most of the route is on paved backroads with a few miles covered by road and railway.
You along with the rest of your guided group will be on e-bikes. This makes the longer days and hills approachable, though you’ll enjoy your holiday most if you have some cycling experience. There’s an optional halfway rest day, and the support van is always on hand if you need a break. With lots of variety, you’ll ride through misty pine forests out to beaches, fishing villages and historic landmarks. Along the route, you’ll taste local beer, fresh seafood and some of the best coffee in Southeast Asia. On the final day, the boat ride into the ancient city of Hoi An is a fantastic way to finish.
