Cycle Trip to Vietnam’s Tropical “Hawaii"

After a pleasant breakfast, we set off on a serene boat ride along the Dong Nai River, listening to birdsong and spotting a variety of birdlife—including cormorants—along the riverbanks. We then return to the hotel to check out and begin our cycling adventure.

Riding through the national park, we follow quiet trails that wind past towering ancient trees, small villages, and peaceful riversides. Along the way, we pass cornfields and sprawling cashew plantations, enjoying roads with little to no traffic. Continuing onward, we cycle through more cashew groves to reach a small village in Dak Lua, where we visit the Cat Tien archaeological site.

We conclude the cycling portion of the day here and transfer by shuttle, taking in the breathtaking scenery en route to a local restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, we embark on a three-hour drive to Da Lat, with a relaxing stop in Bao Loc to sample fresh tea, coffee, and local sweets.

Da Lat, often called the “City of Eternal Spring” for its mild, temperate climate, is also affectionately known by locals as the “Honeymoon City.” Developed by the French as a resort town in the early 1900s, Da Lat still preserves many traces of its colonial heritage, including its first wooden hotel built in 1907.

Today, Da Lat is not only a popular tourist destination but also a key agricultural hub of Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Local markets across the country are filled with Da Lat’s specialties such as strawberries, cauliflowers, and artichokes.

Our journey begins with a city tour by bus. We will visit the unique Crazy House, the historic Bao Dai Summer Palace, and the scenic Valley of Love, followed by a stop at XQ Headquarters – Da Lat Historical Village to explore the renowned XQ Hand Embroidery workshop.

After enjoying lunch at a well-known local restaurant, we will take a nostalgic train ride through farmland and greenhouses to Trai Mat village in the afternoon. Here, you will experience local life and visit the stunning Linh Phuoc Pagoda.

Then, we return to the hotel and spend the evening exploring Da Lat on foot, soaking in the city’s charming atmosphere.

Mui Ne features emerald-blue beaches, curved coastlines, and year-round sunshine, earning its nickname as Vietnam’s “Hawaii.” Visitors can enjoy great dining, varied accommodations, water activities, and scenic highlights like the colorful sand dunes, Fairy Stream, and Poshanu Cham Towers.

After breakfast, we ride through coffee plantations and scenic valleys, passing ethnic villages before climbing Gia Bac Pass with sweeping jungle views. The route then descends through rolling hills, farms, and rivers.

In the afternoon, we cycle past cashew plantations and lotus lakes to the White Sand Dunes for a break, then continue to the Red Sand Dunes to enjoy sunset views before transferring to the hotel. Tour ends.
