Tour Introduction

The Crossing Vietnam Dirtbike Tour is the ultimate expedition — 24 riding days that conquer the entire country on two wheels, from Hanoi in the north all the way to Ho Chi Minh City in the south. This is Vietnam end to end: mountains, coastlines, karst regions, war-era trails, desert-like dunes and tropical lowlands, from the Red River Delta to the sun-baked shores of Phan Thiet. Along nearly 3,130 km you'll link technical mountain passes, the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, the vast caves of Phong Nha and the coffee highlands of the Central Highlands into one continuous ride.

Built for riders ready to go the distance, this Crossing Vietnam Dirtbike Tour balances big days in the saddle with well-placed rest, cave and maintenance days so both you and the bike stay fresh across more than three weeks on the road. It's an intermediate-level adventure with deep cultural immersion among the north's ethnic communities and the highlands' coffee-farming villages — fully supported with a dirtbike and fuel, an English-speaking guide, 3–4 star hotels and homestays, all meals, a Ha Long Bay cruise and a backup vehicle. If you want to say you've truly crossed Vietnam on a dirtbike, this is the trip.
