Vietnam E-bike Tour Saigon to Hue

This Vietnam cycling journey leads you from lively Ho Chi Minh City to the historic city of Hue, combining mountain climbs, coastal rides and cultural immersion. Designed for e-bikes yet equally rewarding on a gravel bike, available free of charge, it's ideal for travellers seeking an active holiday with plenty of scenic variety.

After a bike fitting and casual dinner in Saigon, you'll ride past banana groves and pepper vines near Nam Cat Tien Forest, then climb through the coffee farms of Di Linh, the "Kingdom of Robusta", and lush tea plantations into the cool highlands of Bao Loc and Da Lat. A long descent leads to the beaches of Nha Trang and a rest day. Continuing north along quiet coastal roads, you'll climb the Deo Ca Pass above Vung Ro Bay and pass fishing villages, basket boats, shrimp and salt farms and rice fields through Phu Yen, Quy Nhon and Quang Ngai.

A guided visit to the My Lai Memorial is followed by a ride through peaceful villages to Hoi An, where a second rest day lets you explore the lantern-lit, UNESCO-listed Old Town. The adventure concludes with the most challenging and rewarding day of the trip, climbing the iconic Hai Van Pass with sweeping views over the East Sea, then riding the coast into Hue. A relaxed guided ride around Hue's royal citadel, Vong Canh Hill and the Thien Mu Pagoda is the perfect finale to an unforgettable Vietnam cycling experience.
