Itinerary Overview
The Vietnam Dirtbike Expedition 14 Days with The IA follows the legendary south-to-north route, delivering a full-spectrum motorcycle journey across Vietnam — from tropical coastline and desert sand to cool highlands, deep jungle, historic war roads, and iconic cultural landmarks.
Starting in the energetic streets of Saigon, riders head toward the wind-swept beaches and sand dunes of Mui Ne, before climbing into the cool pine forests and mountain curves of Da Lat. The route then weaves through coastal backroads and ocean views in Nha Trang and Quy Nhon, before turning inland into the remote Central Highlands — Kon Tum and Kham Duc — where jungle trails, ethnic villages, and red-earth tracks define the ride.
The journey continues through Vietnam’s historic heartland, passing the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, the imperial legacy of Hue, and the former battlefields of Khe Sanh. Riders then follow remote sections of the legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail, reaching the dramatic limestone landscapes and river valleys of Phong Nha.
The final days bring quieter countryside, rolling hills, and rice-field roads through Tan Ky and Ninh Binh, before concluding in Hanoi — completing a true coast-to-coast, border-to-border adventure.
Over fourteen days, this classic route blends mountains, coastline, jungle, war history, and culture — making it one of the most immersive and rewarding Vietnam dirtbike tours available.
