Itinerary Overview

The Central Highlands BMW Adventure 13 Days with The IA is a premium bigbike loop that connects Central Vietnam’s coastline, wartime history, jungle highlands, and mountain cities into one long, flowing journey. This route is designed for BMW riders who enjoy smooth power on open roads, steady handling on mountain curves, and a wide range of landscapes day after day.
Departing Hoi An, the ride heads north into the imperial beauty of Hue, followed by quiet coastal stretches toward Dong Ha. The scenery shifts dramatically in Phong Nha, where limestone mountains and jungle valleys frame some of Vietnam’s most memorable roads. The climb into Khe Sanh adds history and highland atmosphere before the tour turns south into the forested passes of Tay Giang.
From here, the adventure pushes deeper into the Central Highlands through Ngoc Hồi, Pleiku, and the coffee country of Buon Ma Thuot, where red–soil farm roads and sweeping views define the landscape. The route then ascends to the cool pine forests of Da Lat, followed by a scenic drop toward the ocean in Nha Trang.
The final leg carries riders along the coast to Quy Nhon, before looping back to Da Nang, wrapping up a 13–day ride that blends mountains, coastline, history, and highland culture into one unforgettable BMW experience.
