Cycling along the Central Coast of Vietnam Tour

On your first day in Nha Trang City, you will meet the team of guides, mechanics, and drivers who will support you throughout your cycling adventure at a hotel in Nha Trang.

In the morning, you will cycle to the Po Nagar Cham Towers, one of the greatest historical landmarks of the area. After the visit, you will ride towards Vietnam’s Highway No. 1 where you will be transferred approximately 80 km to the Hon Gom peninsula.

For the second part of the day, you will cycle along the peninsula past shrimp farms and the largest rice paddies in central Vietnam. You’ll end the day in lovely 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.

A rest day allowing you to kick back and relax on the beach! Breakfast is provided at your hotel.

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.

Cycling around Hue, you will learn about the old capital’s rich history. The sites you’ll visit on the guided cycling tour include:

• Vong Canh hill, which offers a stunning panoramic view of the Huong (Perfume) River
• The tombs of Khai Dinh
• Hue citadel, home of Vietnam’s ancient kings and queens
• The seven-story Thien Mu Pagoda, the most important religious building in Vietnam and the symbol of the Hue

To finish the day, you will enjoy a relaxing cruise on the Perfume River back to the hotel in the afternoon and dress-up for your farewell dinner!
