VIETNAM ROAD & OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLE HOLIDAYS. MOTORBIKE TOURS THROUGH VIETNAM FROM HANOI

Vietnam is a country of mystery, exotic landscapes, and mesmerizing beauty, making it a truly exceptional destination for motorbike tour enthusiasts. From dramatic mountain passes and remote ethnic villages to tropical forests, limestone karsts, and quiet rural roads, Vietnam offers some of the most diverse motorcycle adventures in Southeast Asia.

Many Vietnam motorbike tours between 2020 and 2022 were cancelled or suspended. The good news was that Vietnam officially reopened its international borders to tourism on March 15th, 2022. With travel restrictions lifted, riders could once again prepare their bikes, arrange their visas, and get ready to explore the open roads of Vietnam by motorbike.

Vietnam is a destination of extraordinary natural beauty. The country is rich in greenery, with ancient forests, dramatic mountains, tropical countryside, and spectacular national parks. Its long coastline is dotted with sandy beaches, coral-rich waters, and jungle-covered islands, offering an impressive variety of landscapes for travelers to discover.

Vietnam is also a country of remarkable contrasts. In its remote interior, traditional communities continue to preserve unique cultures and lifestyles that have developed over generations. Not far away, modern cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are filled with energy, traffic, construction, and rapid development, rising dramatically above the surrounding rice paddies and rural landscapes.

It is difficult to make generalizations about a country as long, diverse, and densely populated as Vietnam, but here are a couple of things we can confidently say:

Vietnam has some of the best motorcycle roads in Southeast Asia, from smooth coastal highways to winding mountain passes and remote countryside tracks.

Vietnam is home to 54 officially recognized ethnic groups. Many communities living in the northern mountains are known for their welcoming nature, fascinating traditions, colorful markets, and distinctive village cultures.

Finally, motorcycle touring in Vietnam encompasses some of the most fascinating riding experiences on the planet. The combination of incredible scenery, diverse cultures, great food, challenging roads, and friendly local people makes Vietnam an outstanding destination for an unforgettable motorbike adventure.

These are both mighty big claims, but we believe they are absolutely true. Therefore, OFFROAD VIETNAM wants to show YOU the delights, highlights, hidden corners, and unforgettable riding experiences that Vietnam has to offer.

Self-Guided & Guided Motorbike Tours Indochina

We offer guided on-road and off-road motorcycle tours, as well as semi-guided (half-guided) and self-guided (unguided) motorbike tours and motorcycle adventures throughout Vietnam. Whether you want a fully supported journey with a professional guide or the freedom of exploring independently, we have options for different riding abilities, schedules, and travel styles.

Our only office is based in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the country’s spectacular northern mountains. We use quality Japanese Honda motorcycles from 125cc to 250cc, including dual-sport enduro bikes, scooters, and road bikes. In Vietnam, “Honda” is often used as a general term for motorcycles, reflecting the brand’s long-standing reputation for reliability and the widespread availability of spare parts.

When choosing a motorcycle for your Vietnam adventure, we recommend paying attention to the bike model and year of manufacture, rather than simply choosing the cheapest rental. Our rates may not always be the lowest, but we focus on quality motorcycles, reliability, proper maintenance, and professional service. We do not use Chinese copies of the small 100cc Honda Win that other rental companies commonly offer. Click here to learn more about why.

You can hire quality motorbikes and scooters in Hanoi from our office, with a fleet ranging from 50cc scooters to 250cc dual-sport enduro motorcycles. Our dirt-bike fleet includes models such as the Honda XR150L, CRF150L, and CRF250L, offering riders more capable options for mountain roads, rural tracks, and longer Vietnam motorcycle trips.

In addition, our partners in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and China offer further opportunities for riders interested in cross-border motorcycle tours in Indochina. If you are planning to ride across international borders to or from Vietnam, we can provide contact details for our trusted partners and help you explore the available options.

Joining an existing Vietnam motorcycle tour can help you save money while allowing you to meet new riding companions and share the adventure. We usually try to accept riders with similar riding experience so that nobody is left struggling to keep up with the group. However, please expect the pace or tempo to become slower as the group gets larger.

Of course, joining a group also means meeting new people, and you never know whether a new riding companion will become a great friend or simply someone you would rather not meet again! It can be difficult to know how compatible people are until they have spent several days together on the road. Either way, motorbike touring in Vietnam is a great way to make new friends and share unforgettable experiences.
