Day 1: Hanoi – Phu Yen Motorcycle Trip

We started our incredible motorcycle Vietnam tour with a quick ride from Hanoi to Phu Yen, a tranquil village in the verdant Son La provincial valley. After a two-hour ride, we were in a mountainous area with backroads between fields of tea and green rice. After lunch, we rode a leisurely off-road motorcycle through hill tribe settlements and across the local hills to Phu Yen. Once we arrived, we took a quick stroll through the quiet town, had dinner at a local restaurant, and returned to the hotel to rest.

Day 2: Phu Yen- Than Uyen Motor Tour

Following breakfast, we commenced our motorcycle tour. It was a long ride, but there were several beautiful stops along the way, as well as many intriguing sights to view. After leaving the town of Phu Yen, we traveled over the stunning and winding Lung Lo pass.

Then, we carried on our journey and headed to Dong Van, where we spent our night.

Day 6: Dong Van – Bao Lac Motorbike Trip

The host treated us to a full breakfast with Thang Den (cake made from sticky rice with ground green beans inside) and Tam Giac Mach cake (buckwheat cake), which are both signature dishes there.  We made a quick hike to the hilltop, which is about a kilometer away from the hotel. Our finest vantage point for viewing Dong Van Town was from a hill that the French used as a fortress during the 1890s war. Then, we returned to the hotel, back on our tour and started enjoying the stunning scene by motorbike in Vietnam. We got the opportunity to ride a motorcycle over Ma Pi Leng Pass, one of the four most stunning passes in Vietnam. The crew stopped at Meo Vac town to have lunch.

We arrived at Pac Ngoi village at noon and had a delicious lunch with many of the region’s specialties. Then, we took a short ride to Ba Be lake, the largest freshwater lake in Vietnam, measuring around 8 kilometers from north to south. We had a pleasant swim in the calm, clear waters of this stunning lake. After the long swim session, we relaxed on board and enjoyed the spectacular and pristine view of the surroundings. Then, we headed back to the homestay in Pac Ngoi and rested.

Day 8: Ba Be – Hanoi Vietnam by Motorbike

On this last day, we took a boat journey for more than an hour in the morning to explore the magnificent Ba Be lake and enjoy the spectacular surroundings.
