Pillion – Hoi An to Phong Nha – or reverse

Approx. 120km

We start the day with a scenic ride down the beach front that brings us to the incredible Hai Van Pass. Here, 21 km of sweeping bends over 500m of jungle-covered mountain gives us the most amazing coastal views in central Vietnam. Heading north up the coast, we pass the Lang Co lagoon and later reach the giant Cau Hai lagoon with its massive square fishing nets and other interesting fishing practices.

A break for a local style lunch gives us a chance to try the Hue style foods. In the afternoon we’ll visit the City of Ghosts, Vietnam’s most luxurious cemetery.

Travelling through seemingly endless rice paddies and riding small roads through the countryside, we make our way to Hue city.

We’ll finish the day with a visit to the imperial citadel of Hue, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to the last emperors of Vietnam.

Taking the small back roads out of Hue city, we’ll cross the beautiful Tam Giang lagoon before following the coast through small fishing villages and aqua-farming ponds.

We’ll then enjoy a local-style lunch at Vinh Moc and have a chance to visit the incredible underground tunnel network at Vinh Moc village. The entire village lived underground for 8 years to escape the American bombing! A truly amazing place.

Next, is a visit the 17th Parallel marker where you can see the famous Hien Luong bridge before taking Route 9 past the remains of many US Bases and into the mountains and cross the DMZ itself.

A cold beer awaits us at the hotel!

The day starts with a visit to the Khe Sanh combat base. The longest battle of all the wars in Vietnam took place here and we can see tanks, helicopters, and planes still sitting on the runway as well as a small museum.

Next, we’ll join the Ho Chi Minh Trail West road. One of the best roads in Asia for bikers, this road should be on everyone’s bucket list.

We’ll then ride through the coffee plantations before climbing an 1100 meter mountain pass covered in untouched jungle.in the seemingly endless mountains and jungle, you’ll find small wooden stilt house villages where the tribes live a peaceful, traditional lifestyle.

As we come to the start of the giant limestone Karst formation mountains we can stop for lunch in a small hill tribe town.

After carrying on through more mountains, more views and more amazing riding, we’ll finally enter Phong Nha National park, a UNESCO Heritage area of natural beauty. There, we’ll follow the historic Victory Road down to the river and finish at the hotel.
