Vietnam E-Bike Tour

The tour starts with a pickup at 8 am from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Get your riding gear ready, but you don’t need to wear it for the short flight to Dalat. When we land, we’ll get ready for the ride, grab some morning tea, and talk about the tour. Our route into the city includes some hills with nice views and fun downhill parts.

We’ll pass by coffee plantations, flower gardens, and small farms. The locals here are often called highland or hill tribes, mainly the Lach tribes. Traditionally, these groups had more independence, but now the younger generation is more integrated into lowland society. Still, you might see some people in traditional dress and using old farming methods along our way.

By the afternoon, we’ll reach our hotel – an old colonial property with great hill views and a pool. It used to be a place where the French would escape the heat.

After a delicious breakfast, we’ll hop in a van to avoid city traffic before cycling on peaceful roads with rolling hills. Locals might honk and wave as they find joy in seeing cyclists like you passing by.

Along the way, we’ll visit a Bana House known for its unique wooden and thatch architecture. The descent from the hills will bring a big smile to your face, and as you reach the river, it’s time for lunch. A short one-hour drive will then take us to Nha Trang, a bustling coastal city known for its beautiful beach. Our hotel is just a short walk from the sandy shore.

Today, we’ll start with a van ride to the best spot to begin our cycling adventure, located north of the city amid rice fields and villages. We’ll ride on quiet, paved roads mostly shared with scooters and bicycles.

We’ll then reach the Cham Towers ruins, featuring twin towers in an ancient, unrestored state, typically without many other visitors. These ruins are part of the Champa Kingdom’s history and thought to be from the 11th century.

After exploring, we’ll get back on our bikes for more countryside riding. The rest of the day is free for you to enjoy, and your guide can help with suggestions if needed.

The day starts with a visit to the My Lai Memorial, a reminder of a tragic event during the Vietnam War. Then, we begin our bike ride, moving from inland roads to the coast with flat terrain and occasional peninsulas. We use small ferries to cross inlets and encounter locals on scooters.

Our accommodation is a new beach resort on a long, uninterrupted shoreline. The resort aims to create job opportunities for local residents. This is our last overnight stop, so we’ll have dinner together before our final ride the next day.

We end our journey with a fun bike ride. We’ll visit a local fish market, full of colorful fish and lively vendors cracking jokes. You can try some traditional snacks there.

Cycling through small villages with sandy landscapes and trees for shade, we pass by a village with street art. We finish by the Thu Bon River, taking a boat ride to Hoi An, a charming town. We’ll dine at one of the oldest family-run restaurants with a view of the historic trading port.

Our tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel in Hoi An.
