PLANNING YOUR VIETNAM MOTORBIKE TOURS
Planning – Facts
Planning a motorbike trip in the right way saves your time, money, and even your life! Therefore, don’t be lazy if you want a successful adventure on two wheels.
Riding in Vietnam is not for the faint of heart. In fact, Vietnam has the second-highest rate of traffic fatalities in the world and is the second most dangerous place on earth for motorcyclists, just after India. There are approximately 30 traffic fatalities per day in the country. The way people ride in Vietnam is very different from yours: no rules! Therefore, to ensure an authentic taste, make sure to ignore any traffic rules you know. This should help to achieve a fine balance between two-wheeled fun, fine roads, beautiful landscapes, and also complete and utter chaos.
Note For Planning Your Vietnam Tours
From early 2010, we provided trips to mainly experienced riders. People without or with little riding experience are not recommended to join our group because they slow down the whole group and it’s not safe for them. However, if they take a riding lesson (30$US) and can ride safely then they are welcome on our trips. Even after a deposit or full payment is made, there is no refund for inexperienced riders.
Riding experience is necessary. For non-riders, one person may travel as a pillion passenger on the guide’s bike. Pairs or couples can also double up on one bike (Honda 160cc is powerful enough but we don’t recommend it with Minsks as they are underpowered or dirt bikes because the seat is not comfortable for the person behind.)
Ideally, we recommend that you ride with a group of friends and share your adventure together. Planning ahead and be ready for your Vietnam motorbike tours!

Look forward to your response

Hello Earl. Please check email for a detailed reply. If you want a more scenic ride (also cheaper) then ride in a loop from Hanoi and end in Hanoi. Let us know if you still have more questions. Thanks.
