Tour Overview
More than 30 million Vietnamese can’t be wrong – handle-bar height gives you the best views of spectacular, off-the-beaten-track parts of this country! On this eight-day cycling trip through the north, you’ll meet locals and experience their culture in a way that otherwise wouldn’t be possible. Get started in bustling Hanoi, where you can discover the Old Quarter’s 36 Streets and fuel up on multiple banh mis, then make your way to the UNESCO World Heritage site Halong Bay, down country lanes and through spectacular mountain scenery. Ride to the largest waterfall in Vietnam, pedal past the jagged peaks of the Phong Nam Valley, jutting skyward from the emerald-green rice paddies and take in the dazzling scenery of Cao Bang, a UNESCO Global Geopark.

Trip Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- •
Escape the crowds and experience a side of Vietnam very few travellers get to see as you cycle through Northern Vietnam’s incredible natural scenery, small villages and ancient ruins – the best way to see the country is on a bike!
- •
Ride through the spectacularly lush landscapes of the Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark and Phong Nam Valley – cycling alongside the rice paddies, you’ll pass local farmers, towering limestone karsts and diverse flora and fauna.
- •
Work up an appetite cycling near Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi. Wander the Old Quarter on two legs and two wheels, then spend the evening indulging in delicious local food (think banh mi, bun cha and pho).
- •
Visit Ban Gioc Waterfall – the largest and most beautiful waterfall in Vietnam (you can even see China on the other side of the river!).
- •
Spend a night aboard a small boat at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay – a must-do on any visit to Vietnam! Sail among the limestone peaks, stop off at one of the remote islands and wander through Surprise Cave.
