6 days/5 nights – Join us on this action filled adventure through jungles and beaches in central Vietnam. With Ha Long Bay, Sapa and Hanoi in the north and the tropical beaches of Nha Trang and Mui Ne, it is easy to forget about the middle of this great country but central Vietnam is arguably the best part as it combines the best beaches of the south with the pastoral landscape of the north. Starting in the idyllic town of Hoi An – which means peaceful meeting place – we will head off-the-beaten track and into the hills surrounding the Lao border where we will encounter ethnic villagers, Co Tu woodcarvers and Vietnam’s own “Giants Causeway”. In the coastal town of Tuy Hoa we will relax on beautiful beaches before making our way up the coast and back towards Hoi An.

DAY 1: HOI AN TO TAY GIANG / PRAO
(150 km)
Delve into the heart of central Vietnam with this 6-day adventure. We set off from Hoi An on what promises to be an unforgettable voyage of rugged roads, rustic villages and stunning highlands. Pack your sense of adventure and leave behind those preconceived notions of touristy villages: this journey is the real deal. With the wind in your hair, we head west and climb our way into the mountains. As we wind our way up into the hills towards the Lao border home to the Co Tu minority, we take a break to visit some small villages along the way, and enjoying a local lunch before continuing our journey deep in to the mountains, meandering through more isolated villages where the culture and traditions remain untouched by time making this remote and staggeringly beautiful region home to one of the most authentic hill tribes to remain in Vietnam.
We arrive mid afternoon at our stop for the night, home to the Co Tu Ethnic Minority group.

DAY 2: TAY GIANG TO KHAM DUC
(150 km)
Ride the Ho Chi Minh Highway all day – we will explore other ethnic minority villages before hitting the road bound for the infamous town of Kham Duc. The scene of a significant battle between the United States and the North Vietnamese during the war; a landing strip can still be found here. These days it is used by the local people to dry their cassava. Kham Duc is surrounded by mountains and the riding is amazing.

DAY 3: KHAM DUC TO KONTUM
(220 km)
Simply stunning is the only way to describe today, riding along the highest stepped rice paddies outside of Sapa and reach as high as 2,000 metres above sea level. The view at the top of this pass is incredible. If you like switchbacks, today is the day for you. Kontum is a highland ethnic minority town with a vibrant market, rich with character, colonial buildings, lively night life and fantastic food. After a local dinner we can enjoy the people watch sitting on the promenade alongside the Dak Bla river.

DAY 4: KON TOM TO TUY HOA

DAY 5: TUY HOA TO QUANG NGAI
(290 km)
First thing today we will head 40kms north to Ganh Da Dia to see Vietnam’s own “Giants Causeway”. They are unique and rare basalt formations similar to those found in Northern Ireland. The formation is rarely visited by tourists and will be a highlight of our ride up the Coast today. Tonight we will rest our heads about 80kms south of Quang Ngai.

DAY 6: QUANG NGAI TO HOI AN
(140 km)
Today we will spend most of the day on the coast on our way back to Hoi An. Our trip back to Hoi An is a full coast run. We will start the day visiting the site of the infamous My Lai massacre. To do this it means putting the bikes on ferries, passing through fishing villages and if the tide is right, why not go for a ride on the beach? Arriving in Hoi An we will enjoy a celebratory beer or 2 and savour the moment we were all “the first” the chart the newest Hoi An Motorbike Adventures southern tour. No doubt there will be some stories to tell!
