Vietnam By Bike
Riding a mountain bike along the highways and byways of Vietnam is without doubt the most rewarding way to experience this rich and varied destination. Travelling by the same mode as the locals enables you to interact and gain a mutual respect and a sense of the warmth and hospitality of the many Vietnamese people you will meet on this adventure. Pedalling at a steady pace we explore an ever-changing landscape of tranquil highlands, palm fringed beaches and country roads that lead through mango and coconut groves. Along our route you will be in contact with the real Vietnam - an experience you will find hard to forget!

No local payments policy: Local cash payments are becoming increasingly popular with many operators in the adventure travel industry. The policy seems to benefit the tour operators, more than the local economies or travellers, as it avoids local taxes and transfers the cost and risk of cash handling to travellers. In accordance with our Responsible Travel practices we have chosen a policy not to ask for such payments.
