Itinerary Overview
The Vietnam Motorbike Tour 12 Days with The IA follows a stunning coastal-oriented route from Hanoi to Saigon, designed for riders who want a smooth, scenic, and culturally rich journey along Vietnam’s long shoreline. It’s a refined addition to Vietnam’s long-distance motorcycle tours, balancing relaxed riding with constant changes in landscape and culture. Starting from Hanoi, the ride heads through the karst landscapes of Ninh Binh before reaching the open coastal plains around Vinh, where seaside winds and rural backroads begin shaping the rhythm of the trip.
From Phong Nha, the scenery shifts into limestone valleys and jungle-lined stretches, followed by the historic military routes toward Khe Sanh and the imperial charm of Hue. The journey then flows into the lantern-lit streets and riverside calm of Hoi An, before transitioning south toward the sunlit beaches and ocean curves of Quy Nhon and Nha Trang.
The final stretch carries riders through the desert-like coastline of Mui Ne, across breezy seaside roads to Vung Tau, and into Saigon, completing a route defined by ocean views, cultural landmarks, and gentle riding terrain. This 12-day coast-focused journey is ideal for riders who want the best of Vietnam’s shoreline, heritage towns, and relaxed open roads.
