Cycling Adventure: Saigon to Hoi An 8D/7N

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Tan Son Nhat International Airport for a domestic flight to Lien Khuong Airport. Upon arrival, meet your guide and driver for a scenic 20-minute journey to the cycling starting point. After a short bike fitting and adjustment session — including saddle height and handlebar setup — begin pedaling through Dalat’s lush countryside.

Ride past endless greenhouse gardens, fertile farmlands, and orchards bursting with temperate fruits. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing along winding backroads that meander beside gentle rivers, peaceful lakes, and rolling hillsides. The day’s cycling offers a wonderful blend of rural landscapes and refreshing highland scenery.

In the late afternoon, transfer to Dalat. The evening is at leisure for you to wander through the charming mountain town at your own pace, soaking up its cool climate and lively atmosphere while preparing for the exciting adventures ahead.

Begin with a one-hour transfer to the Lac Duong, outskirts of Bidoup National Park, northeast of Dalat, for a full day of cycling adventure. Ride along a newly paved mountain road through rolling hills, pine forests, tropical rainforest, and lush farmlands. The route offers stunning scenery, cool mountain air, and a mix of rewarding climbs and sweeping descents.

One highlight is the short but steep climb to Khanh Le Pass (Hon Giao), at 1,500m above sea level, where spectacular mountain views, waterfalls, and rainforest landscapes await. Support vehicles are always nearby for assistance. After refreshments at the summit, enjoy an exhilarating 29km downhill ride to a riverside restaurant for lunch.

In the afternoon, cycle at a relaxed pace through the countryside of Khanh Vinh, passing rice paddies, sugar cane fields, and local villages. Stop at a local market for coffee and fresh fruit before continuing to the historic Dien Khanh Citadel. A short transfer then takes you to Nha Trang in the late afternoon.

Depart Nha Trang at 7:30 am for a one-hour transfer to Van Ninh, a charming fishing township on Vietnam’s south-central coast. Begin cycling along a peaceful coastal road lined with colorful fishing boats, tiny harbors, and quiet seaside villages. Pedal through picturesque countryside dotted with rice paddies, local markets, and smiling schoolchildren waving as you pass by.

Stop at a lively local market to experience authentic daily life and sample fresh tropical fruits before continuing deeper into the rural landscape, passing fish farms and fruit orchards. The ride then leads to the short but rewarding climb over Co Ma Mountain, where spectacular panoramic views of Dai Lanh Beach and Vung Ro Bay unfold before you.

Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch at Dai Lanh before getting back on the bikes for a few more kilometers. Turn toward Vung Ro Bay and continue cycling along one of the region’s most scenic coastal routes. Along the way, visit the bustling fishing port and floating fish farms before following rustic backroads through rice fields, village markets, and railway-side trails — at times even riding alongside the railway tracks themselves.

Today’s ride concludes on the outskirts of Tuy Hoa Airport. In the late afternoon, relax during a comfortable 2.5-hour vehicle transfer to Quy Nhon.

The morning commences with a short transfer from the hotel and a quick stop at the salt fields for a photo before the ride. You follow the small concrete road and ride into the picturesque rural village of Pho Khanh. The seaside countryside is quiet, with small towns and lush farms offering stunning scenery. Take a pleasant stop at the beautiful shallow lake that is home to fresh fish. The villagers do a lot of fishing on this lake using fish traps and nets during the rainy season, but grow rice and vegetables during the dry season. Continue crossing the rivers to coastal villages that offer an incredible diversity of farmlands and stunning scenery along the way. 

We continue the pleasant ride toward Quang Ngai, exploring the backwaters that make your adventure more striking and enjoyable. The area offers incredible views through the river network and stunning scenery along old villages lined with bamboo trees. The varied bike routes also take you through nostalgic villages, ancient temples, and pagodas. We ride across a suspension bridge, cross the Tra Khuc River, and cycle to the My Son Memorial – the site of the My Lai Massacre in 1968. After the visit, we have lunch in a small town. The afternoon biking routes offer lush countryside, vast rice fields, cornfields, tropical sugar plantations, and small mountains and hillsides. Continue cycling along curved rivers and rolling hills to the hotel.
