Journey north to south through Vietnam on our Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh Bike Tour. Travelling more than 1,000 miles by bike, boat, train and minivan, you’ll cycle for over 500 miles on either side of Vietnam’s north-south highway. A hugely varied tour, you'll also have the chance to meet primates in Cuc Phuong National Park and relax in seaside resorts.
You'll experience more than 4,000 years of Vietnamese history, from war tunnels to colonial villas. Pedalling past the central highlands, you’ll visit Hoi An’s old town, the ruins of My Son and the imperial city of Hue, before finishing up in Ho Chi Minh.
Although some of the days are longer, the cycling is suitable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness, and you'll have an air-conditioned bus travelling behind for support.
