TOUR DESCRIPTION:
We hope that our tour will bring you closer to the real Vietnam, which charmed us so much. The tour is made special by lush vegetation, impressive landscapes and amazing natural surroundings. Vietnam is an extremely diverse country which we want you to experience.
We will start our Vietnamese adventure by relaxing on a 5* luxury ship in Ha Long Bay to rest properly after a long flight and gain strength before riding motorcycles. Ha Long Bay is probably the most famous place in all of Vietnam, which needs no encouragement. The motorcycle part of the tour will end in the bustling and eclectic Hanoi.
In the first half of the trip, we will enter higher mountains and deeper valleys. We will ride through the fertile Mai Chau valley and see the world-famous rice terraces, which are like living sculptures on the flanks of mountains. We will visit the Ninh Binh area, also known as “inland Ha Long Bay”. We will also ride over a good portion of the historic Ho Chi Minh trail, snaking along the Laos border.
In the middle part of our tour we will visit more historical spots. The Vinh Moc Tunnel complex will take you back to the Vietnam war era and give a good perspective of why this war could not have been won by the USA. We will also visit one of the most famous cave complexes in the world, Phong caves – the Doong, the Phong Nha Dark Cave and the Paradise Cave!
Along the way, we will have the opportunity to see many villages inhabited by ethnic minorities.
One of the last stops will be Hue, famous for the Vietnamese emperors’ tombs. The trip will end in the ancient city of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Traveling through different regions of the country we will also have a chance to try different types of Vietnamese cuisine – no comparison with the fast-food joints back home!
Join us for this Vietnam tour – you are sure to regret not having come before!
