Description
From frenetic Saigon to spectacular Halong Bay, this journey takes us through the best of Vietnam on two wheels
This superb trip combines some of the best cycling routes in Vietnam with time for rest and exploration. Being on bikes gets us closer to life in Vietnam and to the outgoing and welcoming Vietnamese who share our love affair with the bicycle. Our passing encounters with local cyclists may leave us with some of our strongest memories. Vietnam is a beautiful country, with a long coastline of broad, sandy beaches, shimmering paddy fields and mountains cloaked in forests. Our route takes us from the vibrant streets of Saigon northwards to the more conservative capital Hanoi. Out of the saddle we have time to relax in lively Nha Trang, enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and great shopping of Hoi An and cruise around the incredible seascape of limestone towers in Halong Bay. Summer offer: Book now for August and September and receive a free boat trip in Hoi An, plus a free meal at the famous KOTO restaurant in Hanoi that supports a good cause.
