This pleasant ride gives the cyclist a fantastic sampling of the countryside in Vietnam, meandering through rice paddies, across rivers, and through small villages. The riding is flat but in typical PTV style, we head well off of the beaten track and get the tires dirty, even finishing on a fantastic bit of single track near the waters edge.

This ride starts right from our office in Hoi An near the old quarter and wanders the streets lined with old shop houses before hitting the river where we board a small boat for a short 5 minute ride over to Cam Kim Island.

The best way to get out to My Son Holy Land is by bike, instead of sitting in a car for several hours. This fantastic ride out to the temples goes through the countryside on back roads. This offers a rare insight into how the locals live now, as well as taking a step back in time by visiting the ancient temples.

This trip through the countryside is a combination of two and a half hours of biking through the picturesque countryside and a visit to Tra Que vegetable village. We see how the locals farm, and prepare a meal from the produce that is grown. This is a 4 hour activity that can be done in either the morning or the afternoon.

This bike trip through the countryside takes you through picturesque trails to an old pottery village, Tra Que vegetable village and a stop at a traditional lantern making shop. We see how pottery and lanterns have been made for generations, and at the local farm we prepare a meal from the produce that is grown.

2 Day Ride (110km Biking)

Day 1 (50 km biking)
Our vehicle picks you up at your hotel in Hoi An for a short 30 minute transfer to Thuan Phuoc bridge, where we start our ride.  The initial section is flat for 15 kilometers and gives you a chance to warm up before the 10 kilometers climb up to the top of Hai Van pass. This pass is 500 meters high and its name translates as “Pass of the Ocean Clouds”. The pass is part of the Annamite Mountain Range and is considered one of the most beautiful in the country.

After a brief rest at the top our hard work is rewarded by a fantastic 10 kilometer section of downhill riding to  Lang Co beach.  Ride at a moderate pace so you can enjoy the fantastic views of the lagoon from above. At the base of the pass we stop for a pic nic lunch of sandwhiches, fresh fruits, veggies and baked goods. After lunch the ride is pleasant and flat for 15 kilometers as we skirt the rim of Lang Co lagoon on our way into town. After we check into the hotel the remainder of the afternoon is free to rest and enjoy a swim in the Ocean.


Day 2 (60 km biking)
After breakfast, we check out of the hotel. A short 20 minute transfer takes us from Lang Co to the bottom of Phuoc Tuong pass where we start riding. This section of riding rolls through small hills, villages, and cajuput forest for about 10 kilometers.

We continue riding through small beach villages with the road totally covered by bamboo and casuarina forest, sheltering our ride from the heat.

We stop briefly at the Ghost City where traditional customs of the local people of Central Vietnam are played out. And finally we complete the biking portion of our trip with a ride across a rice paddy to our pick up location. From here the transfer to Hue is only about 15 kilometers. After checking into your hotel you have the option of going on a 2 hour excursion in the afternoon to see the Imperial Citadel. We also offer an optional additional day biking around Hue to some of the major sites of interest. Inquire for details.

1 Day Ride (70km Biking)

On this ride, after a vehicle pick up at your hotel, we transfer 30 minutes to the bottom of Hai Van pass. We ride on a flat section that gives you a brief warm up before the climb. It also allows us to add some spectacular kilometers of biking after the pass by shortening the start from the 2 day ride.

After summiting the pass and riding down the other side we take a brief vehicle transfer (30 mins) to Phuoc Tuong pass. From here we head off on the backroads by bike through small villages to Tu Hien bridge where we stop for lunch.

After lunch we continue biking on mostly flat terrain through beach villages and bamboo forest. The final section of the ride takes us along Thuan An beach and through scenic paddy fields. We end the ride near Highway 1, where our vehicle meets us and transfers us the rest of the way into Hue (15 km).

As the ride is quite long, we make sure that it is also customizable in distance. We know the best sections to ride, and if you let us know your fitness level, we make sure that no matter how far you are able to bike, you will be exposed to only the best sections of biking on this fabulous route.
