Day 3:  Mai Chau Motorbike tours back to Hanoi

There are many ways to ride back to Hanoi from Mai Chau. We suggest you to take 2 different roads below:

Option 1: Motorbike tour on the old French road along the Da river- 190 km.

We will go back to the road No 6 and take a turn to small and less traveled French road that leads us going along the Black river lake. The view here is like in Ha long bay. This is a good motorbike tour back to Hanoi that we strongly recommend.

Option 2: Motorbike tour on Ho Chi Minh trail back to Hanoi – 240 km.

Vietnam Motorbike Tours suggests you to take the option 2 if you are experienced motorbike riders. There are more interests on this road, especially you will have chance to have great motorbike tour on Ho Chi Minh trail. However, it is longer and busier road. We will count the time to be in Hanoi before rush hours and finish the short but best northern motorbike tour safely.
