Beauteous Hoi An motorbike tour to Hue on Ho Chi Minh trail – 2 Days

Delve into the heart of central Vietnam with this 3-day Hoi An motorbike adventures excursion. We set off from Hoi An this morning on what promises to be an unforgettable voyage of rugged roads, rustic villages and stunning highlands. Pack your sense of adventure and leave behind those preconceived notions of touristy villages: this Motorbike journey is the real deal. With the wind in your hair, we zip through the Hoi An countryside to Marble Mountain where the thrill-lovers among us can opt for an abseiling adventure into Hell’s Cave. We then head west and climb our way into the mountains.

Midday we’ll arrive at Ba Hom, a traditional Co Tu village where we will stay for the night. Little has changed in the past hundred years in Ba Hom and it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Central Vietnam. A light trek through the village outskirts takes us over the Ho Chi Minh Trail to a set of therapeutic hot springs where we can go for a refreshing dip.

The evening is highlighted by a superb dinner of Co Tu traditional dishes and a chance to interact with the villagers, gaining more insight into their rich culture. Afterwards, retreat to your stilted Co Tu hut where the serene setting and clear mountain air will lull you to sleep.

Day two of your motorbike adventure begins with breakfast in the village and a chance to watch the morning activities of the Co Tu. Bidding farewell to our hosts, its then back on the bikes to resume our adventure through the rugged highlands of Central Vietnam. This time we follow a new section of the Ho Chi Minh Trail toward the Lao border, crossing through lush rainforests and over mountain passes on roads perfectly suited to jeeps. Keep your camera handy as the views are certainly photo-worthy.

Midday we take a break for a picnic lunch in the shade of a mountain waterfall. Take a swim in the cool waters or simply lay back and relax in the solitude.
We then begin the last stretch of today’s jeep journey, descending down to Hue. But the adventure isn’t over yet. The landscape continues to change as we make our way to the flatlands, passing through A Shau valley- an area that played a key role during the American war- and then catching glimpses of the iconic Perfume River from the hills. We cruise into Hue’s centre in the early evening.

Luggage transfer included.

Optional: A motorbike tour of Hue’s urban landscape and monuments is available on request.

Day one of your Hoi an Motorbike adventures tour starts with a drive from Hue into the A Shau Valley, ascending first through hills and then down into this lush, peaceful area that was the scene of many infamous battles during the American war. We reach a mountain waterfall at midday and stop for lunch and a chance to swim in the cool waters.

The afternoon continues with a drive along the Ho Chi Minh Highway, climbing more mountain passes and winding along roads surrounded by rainforests. Amid this stunning scenery is Ba Hom, a remote mountain village where we will spend the evening. The hospitable Co Tu people welcome us into their homes, sharing their unique customs and way of life with us as we dine on traditional local specialties.

After a good night’s sleep in stilted houses we wake to the sounds of village life. Fuel up with breakfast and then set off on a light trek along the original Ho Chi Minh Trail to a set of therapeutic hot springs. Take a swim or just enjoy the beautiful setting before returning to the village and hitting the road to Hoi An. Winding our way down to the coast, we’ll stop en route at famous American war sites and ancient Cham towers before reaching Hoi An just in time for sunset.

Luggage transfer included.
