Cycling along the Central Coast of Vietnam Tour








Overview
There are few things more satisfying to a cyclist than cruising down a paved road that slopes slightly downhill, the sea breeze blowing gently on their skin. This tour excels at delivering that sweet seaside relaxation, introducing riders to the fishing villages and other harborside towns of Vietnam’s Central Coast. The tour will take you to Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Hoi An, Hue, and countless small villages in between. Along the way, riders will get to experience the unique culture and cuisine of the area while breathing the salty-sweet ocean air. Fans of quaint, quirky cultural experiences will be in heaven on this ride!
That being said, this tour will also make riders break a sweat and get their hearts pumping as you go off road and cycle along some hilly terrain. Vietnam’s coastal region includes lots of rocky cliffs and rolling mountain ranges in addition to its sandy beaches. It also boasts fertile valleys that support rice paddies, landscapes you’ll no doubt have a blast weaving through. The juxtaposition of relaxed oceanside cruising with intense offroading makes this an excellent tour for advanced riders who want a challenge but also want to intersperse the experience with rest periods.

Itinerary for Cycling along the Central Coast of Vietnam Tour
Saigon, with Flight to Nha Trang
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.

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.

Hoi An to Hue via Hai Van Pass
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.
Hue City Ride
