Ultimate Saigon to Hoi An Cycling Adventure

This 10-day cycling journey takes you from the energy of Saigon to the timeless charm of Hoi An, blending mountain riding, coastal roads, cultural encounters and moments of reflection along the way. The adventure begins with a bike fitting at Mr Biker's Saigon garage and a casual dinner, before an early start heading north towards the Central Highlands.

Ride past banana groves, mango orchards and pepper vines near Nam Cat Tien Forest, then climb through the coffee farms of Di Linh, the "Kingdom of Robusta", and cool tea plantations on the way to Bao Loc and Da Lat, where pine forests and steady climbs set the rhythm. A long, scenic descent from the highlands leads to the beaches of Nha Trang and a well-earned rest day, with time to visit the ancient Po Nagar Cham Towers.

The coastal stages climb the Deo Ca Pass above the lobster farms of Vung Ro Bay, follow O Loan Lagoon and its fishing villages to Quy Nhon, and start from the giant seated Buddha at Ong Nui Pagoda on the way to Quang Ngai. A sobering visit to the My Lai Memorial is followed by a final ride through rice paddies and fishing communities dotted with basket boats, culminating in the lantern-lit, UNESCO-listed streets of Hoi An. With 4 - 5 star hotels, full vehicle support and a cold beer after every ride, it's the ultimate way to see southern and central Vietnam by bike.
