Pagodas and Paddies
Our popular half day tour. Explore the rural hinterland
and the villages and get away from touristy Hoi An.
Duration: Half day
Type: Loop
Total approx. 50km
Tour Code: VATB
We zoom out of Hoi An to explore the Thu Bon River Delta hinterland. We traverse irrigation channels, dyke walls and country laneways, all the while, soaking up the landscape and local way of life. We stop for drinks at small, family-run cafés, experiencing the everyday routine of the rural Vietnamese folk. On the return trip we ride the unique “floating bridge” lane route, “high 5” with local kids and enjoy picturesque views of the sunset as it fades behind the mountains. This is a dream tour for amateur and professional photographers alike. We can also run this tour in the morning.
Tour starts at 1pm and finishes approx. 5pm.
Nothing too much trouble and safety first all the time, (unusual for Vietnam). After 20 mins riding we are out amongst the local villages, not a tourist to be seen. This bike tour a must do before 21st century takes over and we lose the beautiful landscapes and bamboo bridges being demolished for concrete.

My family & I (Wife, kids 8, 7 & 6 yrs) took the half day motorbike tour around Hoi An and can only recommend it to anyone else that wants something different from the ‘minibus and walk’ that seems standard in the area. Each of the kids had their own rider, very friendly (encouraging the liberal use of the horn and thus fitting right in with the locals!) and safe while we rode our own scooter.
