Cycling along the Central Coast of Vietnam Tour

Begin your adventure with a short morning flight from Saigon to the sunny coastal city of Nha Trang. After arrival, you’ll mount your bikes and set off on a scenic 30 km ride through the tranquil countryside around Cam Ranh. The route winds past mango orchards, quiet villages, and open fields, offering a gentle introduction to the landscapes and pace of the journey ahead. This easy ride serves as a relaxed warm-up for the days to come.

In the afternoon, enjoy free time to unwind. You may choose to visit the Po Nagar Cham Towers, dating back to AD 781 and among Vietnam’s oldest historical landmarks, or simply relax on the golden sands of Nha Trang’s beach.

In the morning, transfer approximately 80 minutes to the Hon Gom Peninsula. From there, you’ll begin cycling along the peninsula, riding past shrimp farms and expansive rice paddies—the largest in central Vietnam—on your way toward Phu Yen.

After breakfast, you’ll set out from the hotel to start the day’s 65 km cycling journey along the coast to Quy Nhon, the capital city of the province. Throughout the day, you will see the province’s main economic activity: fishing! You’ll even get a chance to see the iconic basket-shaped fishing boats as you enter Quy Nhon, where you will spend the night.

After breakfast, a van will transfer you outside of the city to avoid the busy traffic. Day 7 will be an 80 km ride offering a view of coastlines as well as the local countryside. You will be able to observe the local shrimp and salt farms and meet friendly farmers along the way. After lunch at a local restaurant, you will take a scenic drive (transfer) to your hotel in Quang Ngai.

The morning’s first stop will be My Lai, the historical site where one of the most shocking episodes of the Vietnam War took place.

After My Lai, you will cycle along quiet village roads past rice paddies and small unspoilt fishing villages filled with colorful boats. After lunch, you will transfer to the village of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and inarguably one of the most beautiful small towns in Vietnam. In addition to its unique atmosphere and distinctive buildings, today Hoi An is famous for its colorful lanterns illuminating the Old Town at night. The evening will be yours to start to explore this amazing town, and you can enjoy dinner at your leisure.

A rest day allows you to relax and see more of Hoi An at your own pace - enjoying the history and local markets, and beaches if you please. Do not hesitate to ask your guide for recommendations for things to do, and places to eat today!

The day will start with a short van transfer out of the town before a ride along the coast to Da Nang. From Danang, you will begin the climb to the renowned Hai Van Pass. The road climbs gradually up to 480 meters with many switchbacks and offers stunning views of the countryside overlooking the East Sea. The view from atop Hai Van pass is often said to be one of the most beautiful vistas in all of Vietnam.

This tough climb is followed by a long smooth descent to your reward: lunch! In the afternoon you will continue to ride seashore for another 44 km before getting to Hue, the old capital of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Discover Hue’s rich history as you cycle to its most iconic and unmissable landmarks.

The day begins with a relaxing cruise on the Perfume River to the seven-story Thien Mu Pagoda, the most important religious site in Vietnam and a symbol of Hue. From the pagoda, you’ll start cycling through Vietnam’s greenest city, following the Perfume River upstream toward the Mausoleum of Emperor Gia Long, the first emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty.

After the visit, you’ll ride an additional 3 km to a hidden farm, where you’ll enjoy an authentic farm-to-table lunch and take part in an organic workshop.

In the afternoon, we’ll transfer you back to your hotel, leaving you free time to further explore and enjoy this charming historic city.

An airport transfer to Phu Bai International Airport is available upon request. Enjoy the rest of your morning exploring the ancient citadel at your own pace and savor a cup of Vietnamese coffee.
