Exodus cyclist riding with Vietnamese girls, Mekong delta

Cycling holidays in Vietnam are a great way to experience the colour and flavour of Southeast Asia. This trip combines some of the best cycling in Vietnam with time to rest and explore. Travelling by bike gets us closer to life in Vietnam where the welcoming locals share our love affair with the bicycle! Over-laden bicycles and motorbikes typify Vietnamese life and encounters with local cyclists will linger in the memory for many years to come.

Cycling in Vietnam is a fitting way to explore this beautiful country, from its long coastline of broad, sandy beaches to shimmering paddy fields and mountains cloaked in verdant forests. Ride from the vibrant streets of Saigon northwards to the more conservative capital Hanoi.

Out of the saddle, relax in the lively beachside town of Nha Trang and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and great shopping in Hoi An. Stroll around its wooden merchant houses, pagodas and bustling market before enjoying a cruise around the incredible limestone towers rising dramatically from the sea in Halong Bay.
