FAQ

How long does this tour actually take?

It’s flexible — we run it as 12, 13, or 14 days depending on your pace and bike choice, with pricing scaled accordingly (from US$2,760 for the Honda XR150 on the 12-day option up to US$3,640 for the CRF300/CB500X on 14 days). The full route and overnight stops are the same either way; the extra days just give you more breathing room along the 2,800km.

Does this tour cross into Laos?

No — this route stays entirely within Vietnam, running the full length of the country from Hanoi down to Saigon along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and the coast. If you specifically want a Laos border crossing as part of your trip, our Ho Chi Minh Trail Laos – Vietnam Motorbike Tour covers that route instead.

Is this an off-road tour, or does it include sightseeing too?

Both. You’ll ride a mix of paved roads, coastal highway, and rougher tracks through war-history sites like Khe Sanh, but the itinerary also builds in full exploration days in Hue’s Imperial City, the ancient town of Hoi An, and beach time in Nha Trang and Phan Thiet, plus the hill town of Da Lat. It’s as much a journey through Vietnam’s history and culture as it is a riding challenge.

What level of rider is this suitable for?

We’d recommend this for riders with some prior experience — the route mixes quiet countryside roads with hard-packed dirt and rutted local tracks, and conditions can shift with the weather. If it’s your first time riding in Vietnam, talk to us about easing in on a shorter regional tour first.

Which bike should I choose?

The Honda XR150 is the lighter, more forgiving option and the most affordable; the CRF250L is a step up in power for the same general type of riding; the CRF300L and Honda CB500X (priced the same on this tour) suit riders who want more performance for the longer paved stretches. All four are well maintained and supported by our mechanic riding sweeper with the group.

What’s the group size, and can I join solo?

Groups run from 2 to 15 riders. If you’re traveling alone, we can still accommodate you — add 50% to the published tour cost for a solo booking, or contact us about joining an upcoming group departure instead.

What’s included, and what do I need to arrange myself?

Your bike, fuel, English-speaking guide, mechanic, all meals, accommodation (a mix of homestays and hotels, twin share), full riding gear, and all permits and tolls are included. You’ll need to cover personal expenses, alcohol, and your own health/travel insurance.

How much is the deposit?

A $500 per-person deposit secures your booking, with the balance due in full before departure.
