Cycling Saigon- Phan Rang- Nha Trang

After breakfast at the hotel, we take a boat ride along the Dong Nai River to Dao Tien (Monkey Island), home to the Dao Tien Endangered Primate Species Center. Here, you can observe various primates living in a semi-wild environment. Many of these animals were rescued from illegal wildlife trade and are now carefully protected and rehabilitated in the forest.

We then return to the hotel for check-out before continuing our cycling adventure. Leaving the park, we ride along dirt tracks through sub–Nam Cat Tien forest via Dak Lua, an area rich in biodiversity with semi-evergreen forests and wetland ecosystems.

The day continues to the rural village of Ma Da Gui, where we pause for a transfer to the next town for a late lunch. Afterward, we relax in our vehicle as we drive to Da Lat in the late afternoon.

After breakfast at the hotel, we begin with a short transfer to a rural village, stopping at Linh Phuoc Pagoda for a brief visit before setting off on today’s memorable ride. We cycle along quiet country back roads, passing greenhouses and flower gardens, and riding through fragrant pine forests. Along the way, we take in views of an old railway tunnel built by the French during the Indochina period, nestled among scenic valleys.

We continue past local farms growing persimmons, strawberries, and other produce, tackling a series of gentle hills before reaching Da Nhim Lake, home to a hydroelectric power station. Throughout the ride, you’ll enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Vietnam’s Central Highlands.

Lunch is served in a small town, after which we gear up for an exhilarating ride through impressive mountain ranges. The challenge is rewarded with a beautiful descent as we ride down Ngoan Muc Pass, followed by a scenic journey through small villages and onto quieter rural routes.

The landscape gradually changes as we cycle through grapefruit plantations, rice paddies, farming villages, and local workshops producing grape wine. We then visit one of the Cham Towers (Thap Cham), a remarkable relic of the ancient Champa Kingdom dating back to the 11th century. The Cham people are renowned for their distinctive brick sanctuaries, many of which still stand across southern Vietnam.

A short transfer takes us to our hotel by the sea in Phan Rang, a coastal town known for its Cham heritage and the beautiful Ninh Chu Beach, where we will stay overnight.

Today’s ride begins right from the hotel, heading out along a stunning coastal route. We cycle past salt fields and rustic villages, known as the heartland of grape cultivation in Vietnam. Along the way, we stop at lush farmlands and seaside communities, visit local vineyards, taste fresh grapes, and observe how locals produce traditional grape wine.

Continuing on, we pass more salt fields before tackling a few gentle hills as we ride through the Nui Chua National Park, where breathtaking views and dramatic coastal scenery await. The route winds along scenic ocean roads toward Vinh Hy Bay, one of the most beautiful bays in Vietnam, before we stop for lunch in Cam Ranh. The morning ride covers approximately 55 km.

In the afternoon, we enjoy a vehicle transfer before continuing our cycling journey through rural countryside dotted with mango groves and other fruit orchards. We then ride along quiet coastal roads toward Nha Trang. Tour ends.
