In the early morning, take a walk along the river, and you can see interesting land mammals and pieces of birds; kingfishers, black collared Hawks, capped Herons, etc. Enjoy the fresh air, bird's singing, learn more about the wildlife, and immerse in nature with jungle landscapes. After breakfast, pick up the bike, bike through the jungle on trails, and cross the shallow water stream to Dak-Lua. There will be many stops in the park to see the giant trees,  to learn more about flora and fauna.

Then continue on the dirt track to the sub-Nam Cat Tien forest, semi-evergreen forest, and wetland-flooded evergreen forest, and visit lush local farmlands before we break at Dak- Lua. Visit Cat Tien archaeological site, then carry on the day through jungles, on hilly routes, cycle on narrow suspension bridges, and over the Da Hoai River to tribe villages. Afterward, we bike undulate on the hillsides and lush farmlands to Madagui. Take lunch and then rest on the vehicles to Dalat, stopping in Bao Loc.

Commence with an hour vehicle transfer to Bidoup National Park, northeast of Dalat, for a whole day of cycling adventure. You cycle on a new road, rolling hills, pine forests, green farmlands, and on the winding road through the tropical rainforest. The ride lets you undulate through lush farmlands and admire the romantic landscape and comfortable climate. Some hills are real challenges for you, with beautiful valleys surrounding and numerous tropical forests. One of the most exciting mountain challenge lovers is the last hills to the top as you conquer the mountain top of Khanh Le (called Hon Giao) it's a short way. It's just a few km, a short distance but a little vertical. No worry because the support vehicles are always on standby and near you. Khanh Le mountain top is about 1500m above sea level, where you enjoy central Vietnam's most spectacular mountain scenery. This is your limitless opportunity for stoppings, to admire valleys and waterfalls with lush rainforest. Enjoy more snacks, cold drinks, and fresh fruits before riding downhill for 29 km. It's a fabulous ride of the day, and you have a delicious lunch at the local restaurant by the River, right at the foot of the pass.

The ride in the afternoon is entirely different from the morning's adventures. We venture to explore hamlets, meet locals in sugar cane and rice paddy farmlands, enjoy the beautiful countryside of Khanh Vinh, and stop at the local market for coffee, snacks, and fresh fruits. Then we will continue biking to the ancient Dien Khanh citadel before you have a short transfer to Nha Trang in the late afternoon.

Leave Nha Trang at 7:30 am, and enjoy an hour of vehicle drives to Van Ninh township- a small fishing port. The ride will start at Van Gia township, follow the cost route through the quiet little town, enjoy ocean freeze, and look over many small color fishing boats alongside. Ride past the tiny fishing port with a small bridge where local fishing boats, tourist boats come back from the sea, and fishing islands. Then escape the small town and ride into rural villages, past small markets along the pathways, rice fields stretching to mountain's foot, waving kids when cycling past primary schools. Stop to visit a vibrant market to experience the life of locals. It's a small market with little lined-shop holders selling fresh fish, fruits, and varied commodities. Here is the way you taste and smell the real life of locals.

Afterward, the ride deeper into the rural area, through fish farms, fruit orchards, and dirt tracks to Co Ma Mountain. It's time you challenge your body, mind, and physical strength after the morning on flat routes. Co Ma Mountain is small, a couple of km to the top, and it is an excellent place to view Dai Lanh Beach and break for lunch at a selected beach restaurant.

After lunch, to avoid the heat, you rest on the vehicle for 1-hour transfers to a small village to enjoy 30 km of rustic village. You will cycle on beautiful paths along the lagoon. View the color fishing boats and lush farmlands along the routes. It's fantastic bike routes through the fascinating countryside and lively lagoon with several fishing sampans. Further, the back road undulates across rice and vast vegetation, pedaling on oceanic dirt tracks through tiny fishing villages before crossing the River's wooden bridge to the highway, where we have a transfer on Highway 1A to Qui Nhon City.

We start the day ride with a vehicle transfer out of the city—just a 20-minute drive over Thi Ngai, the longest sea bridge in Vietnam. Pick up the bike and be ready to explore beautiful lagoons and dunes along the peninsula for a long day. The scenery along the routes is so beautiful, with tiny villages in the lowland as you gaze down from the ways and colorful temples and pagodas. Then, ride past dunes, and undulating concrete roads, most on narrow pathways through agricultural lands running alongside the river to Cat Tien. Take the right turn on the coast, where you can see the giant Buddha statue by the Viet Cong cemetery on the mountain. It's a nice place to have a water stop with plenty of ocean-view photos.

Continue your adventurous ride on the coast, climb up some minor hills, enjoy mountainous scenery, and ride down to lush farmlands. Keep cycling past many fishing villages and sandy beaches, stop at the village for a coffee break, have fruits and snacks, and get more water for the next stop. Follow a small concrete road, ride through many rustic villages and farms where you stop off some, learn more about rural life, and experience fish farming. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant at the small fishing village. Afterward, you continue the authentic way on the coastal route, crossing through salt fields and crouching markets that sell fresh fish directly from the sea. Carry on the ride to another colorful fishing village with hundreds of fishing sampans and circular boats. It is perfect for walking around for photos taken and meeting villagers. Then continue cycling or biking on the coast route, passing many shrimp farms and fish before following the small concrete paths leading to a beautiful lagoon. Enjoy cycling on the lakeside and views the peaceful landscape, with mountains around. Leave the lagoon behind and continue onwards to Tam Quan. Ride through the countryside, magnificent mountain views, and gentle hills before exploring the central homeland of coconut plantations. The last last section allows you to get more pictures, meet friendly locals, and cross through rustic villages on the way to Tam Quan. Then, we take a rest on a vehicle transfer 20 minutes to Sa Huynh beach resort.

After breakfast, a 20-minute vehicle transfers you to An Khe lagoon for a full-day adventure, with a quick stop at beautiful salt fields to capture some photos before the ride. We start the day riding into small hamlets along the coast, exploring the non-touristy countryside, riding along the unique paths, passing many small local markets, and stopping at a shallow lake home to fresh fish. Locals do a lot of fishing by straps and nets in the rainy season, but the lake is lush farms in the dry season. Continue riding through rice paddies and small towns before crossing over the river to seaside villages. The routes are smooth and mixed concrete and small asphalt road along the rivers, past vegetable fields, and small villages. Then you ride through vast lush farms and tranquil towns and ride down the coast, past local fish farmings. Explore the backwaters and agricultural lands, have some ferry crossings, bike along rivers, peaceful villages, fish farms, rice paddy fields, and tropical palm trees, and cross the rivers on agriculture bridges. Stop at pagodas, and admire some old houses surrounded by betel trees. Stop at irrigation bridges, look over the peaceful rivers, and charm villages. The backwater area is beautiful, with incredible scenery and complicated bike routes. Continue biking over the Co Luy bridge that crosses Tra Khuc River and follow the minor road to Som My Memorial- My Lai Massacre in 1968.

Break for lunch in a small town before we continue to experience fishing villagers' life along the ocean and river paths to Sa Ky fishing post for the endless photo opportunity. Drop your bike at a coffee shop, and take your camera with you for a walk to see the daily life of fishing villagers. Then, we have a local ferry crossing and bike on rural paths through charming villages to Binh Son township.

An early departure from the hotel at 7:30 am as we pick up the best route for the day. The day will begin at the hotel, ride out of Binh Son town, follow the coastal back roads, pass Chu Lai Airport quiet back road, get through a small town, then green rice fields, and follow the concrete routes through several vibrant villages, and kindergartens and high schools until we reach the fishing village. Enjoy a ferry boat to Tam Hai Island, then carry on the ride across this Island. We can see wooden ships in many colors on a ferry crossing river. Most locals here live mainly on fishing and seafood farming. The Island is small, but it is worth for us to explore. Westerners rarely see this Island. We take another ferry to the mainland, enjoying the dirt road biking along the Truong Giang River. The River and its branches offer terrific views of bamboo boats, wooden boats, and small fishing villages. The family members are very busy when fishing boats return. Fishermen's wives help them hang the fish on nets to dry some, primarily for sales. We have lunch in Tam Thanh- a local beach. In the afternoon, we spend more time exploring the lush farmland and rice paddies and less time on coastal fishing routes. It's also a terrific chance to see many un-modernized villages; thatch houses buffaloes on rice fields, bamboo bridges, and remote villages. There will be many stops at historical sites and colorful pagodas. We cross Thu Bon River on Cua Dai Bridge and end up the trip at Hoi An Beach Resort.
