Our Vietnam motorbike tours take riders through terrain that no bus route reaches and no standard itinerary can prepare you for. Ha Giang’s limestone cliffs rise to 2,000 meters. The Ho Chi Minh Trail threads jungle corridors where history still shows through the hillsides.
Since 2013, we’ve run guided motorcycle tours across the north, center and south: terraced rice valleys, high mountain passes, coastal highways and red earth backroads connecting villages that appear on no map. Honda XR150 & 190, CB500X, BMW GS 1250, Triumph Tiger 1200, matched to the rider, the route and the terrain.

Vietnam motorcycle routes: mountains, jungle and coast
Vietnam’s road network spans 1,650 kilometers of terrain from the limestone karst highlands of the north to the Mekong Delta in the south. Ha Giang’s mountain passes cut through clouds at 2,000 meters. The Ho Chi Minh Trail threads 1,800 kilometers of former war-era road through highland communities. Southern routes cross the delta and open onto the South China Sea.
Overnight stays in ethnic minority stilt houses. Red earth backroads connecting villages that appear on no map. Mountain descents where fog holds the valley floor until afternoon. These are the routes that define what a motorcycle adventure in Vietnam actually means, and the roads that no standard tour can package.
10+ motorcycle tours across Vietnam
Our guided Vietnam motorbike tours run for first-time adventure riders and experienced touring motorcyclists alike. Every departure uses ADV bikes matched to Vietnam’s terrain: Honda XR150, 190, CB500X, BMW GS 1250 and Triumph Tiger 1200. Full-board accommodation, guides who know these roads by instinct, visa support and airport transfers are included across all tours.
Custom Vietnam motorcycle tours built around your route
Standard itineraries fit most riders. Some journeys need routes drawn for the specific person riding them.
Custom motorcycle tour planning starts with what draws you to Vietnam: dirt roads, specific terrain, cultural depth, challenge level or timeline. We build around your riding experience, your dates and your pace. Check out Vietnam Laos motorbike tours
Adventure motorcycles built for Vietnam’s terrain
Our bikes reflect years of riding Vietnam’s specific terrain. Honda XR150 and 190s handle narrow village lanes and tight mountain switchbacks where larger bikes struggle.
CB500Xs cover both coastal highways and unpaved backroads without compromise. Triumph Tiger 1200s and BMW GS 1250s carry the power and suspension travel needed for extended expeditions with full luggage across serious elevation.
Every motorcycle is maintained assuming a mountain breakdown can happen hours from the nearest mechanic, because it can.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ride in Vietnam with an International Driving Permit?
Yes, an International Driving Permit 1968 version (IDP) paired with your home country motorcycle license is accepted in Vietnam. Police rarely stop tourists riding responsibly with proper documentation and guides. One critical point: most travel insurance policies exclude motorcycle accident coverage without a Vietnamese license. Check your policy before you book, not after.
What are Vietnam's traffic conditions like for motorcycle riders?
Vietnam’s roads are motorcycle-dominated and move on flow rather than rigid rules. It looks intense from the outside and manageable within an hour of riding it. Our guided tours handle navigation through congested areas and route around heavy urban traffic wherever possible. Most riders find their rhythm faster than expected.
How do I get motorcycle insurance coverage in Vietnam?
Vietnamese insurance companies, including Bảo Việt and Gras Savoye Willis, exclude motorcycle accidents without a Vietnamese license. Obtaining that license requires a three-month resident visa and 5 to 7 days processing, which is not practical for tourists.
Purchase comprehensive travel insurance in your home country before departure and confirm motorcycle coverage for international riding specifically.
What riding experience is required for Vietnam motorbike tours?
Experience requirements vary by tour. Ha Giang Loop and northern mountain circuits require intermediate skills: confidence on switchbacks, comfort with elevation and narrow roads. Coastal and delta routes suit beginners with basic motorcycle control. Contact us with your experience level and we match you to the right route. Pillion options are available for non-riders.
Do you offer training for complete beginners?
Yes. Beginner-appropriate tours include pre-departure training covering basic controls, safety procedures and traffic navigation. These tours use gentle terrain, shorter daily distances and close guide supervision. We assess readiness before departure and provide additional instruction where needed. Non-riders can also join as pillion passengers and build confidence for future solo riding.
Start planning your Vietnam motorcycle journey
Vietnam’s roads reward preparation and realistic expectations. After running guided motorcycle tours on these routes since 2013, I’ve learned the best journeys begin with an honest assessment of what draws you here, and what experience you bring to terrain ranging from coastal highways to mountain passes at 2,000 meters.
