VIETNAM MOTORBIKE TOUR NORTH TO CENTRAL

This 9 days Vietnam by motorbike tour takes you north of Hanoi to a region of dramatically gorgeous scenery that is free of mainstream tourists and then making your way down to Central Vietnam to Hoi An, through areas of war history, ancient culture and beauty.

Travelling Vietnam by Motorbike
This tour isn’t for first time motorbike riders. You’ll need to have ridden a bike before, hold a valid international license and make sure you know how to handle a four stroke bike. This tour is liberating and beautiful.

When you arrive in Hanoi you’ll be given a safety briefing and introduced to your support crew. A truck will drive alongside us and will always be on call for mechanical and medical support or to give you a rest from riding.

Minimum number of people
Due to the large number of support staff required for this trip we recommend a minimum booking of 4 people per trip. Any less and the cost of the trip becomes very expensive.
For groups of 6 or more the tour will include a tour support van.
For groups of 8 or more the tour will include a medic team member.
