TOUR ITINERARY

DAY 1: HOI AN TO PRAO: 130 KM

Hai Van Pass, Dream Waterfall & the Ho Chi Minh Trail

Your Central Vietnam motorbike adventure begins at 8:30 AM as you leave the charming ancient town of Hoi An and ride along the scenic coastline toward Da Nang.

The first stop is the famous Marble Mountains, one of Da Nang’s most popular attractions. Explore ancient caves, Buddhist pagodas, and panoramic viewpoints while learning about the cultural and spiritual significance of this unique limestone mountain complex. From the summit, enjoy spectacular views over Da Nang City, the coastline, and the East Sea.

Next, visit Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula, home to the impressive 67-meter-tall Lady Buddha statue—the tallest Buddha statue in Vietnam. This peaceful location offers breathtaking views of Da Nang Bay, sandy beaches, and the surrounding mountains.

Leaving the city behind, ride toward the legendary Hai Van Pass, widely regarded as one of the most scenic coastal roads in the world. Known as the “Pass of Ocean Clouds,” this iconic mountain pass winds through lush mountains overlooking the coastline, providing endless opportunities for unforgettable photographs. At the summit, explore the historic French and American military bunkers and enjoy panoramic views of Lang Co Bay, Da Nang, and the East Sea.

After descending Hai Van Pass, stop for lunch at a local restaurant near the beautiful Lang Co Beach, one of Vietnam’s most picturesque coastal areas.

In the afternoon, continue to Suoi Mo Waterfall, a hidden natural retreat nestled in the mountains. Relax beside crystal-clear streams, enjoy the refreshing waterfalls, or take a swim surrounded by lush tropical forest.

The journey then continues along sections of the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail, one of Vietnam’s most famous mountain roads. Ride through spectacular landscapes, visit a local tea plantation, and discover the traditional way of life in remote ethnic minority villages.

Arrive in Prao in the late afternoon and check into your hotel. Enjoy a relaxing evening surrounded by the peaceful mountain scenery of Central Vietnam.

Overnight: Hotel in Prao.

DAY 2: PRAO TO KHE SANH: 200 KM

Dakrong Bridge & the Legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail

Today's ride takes us deeper into the remote mountains of Central Vietnam, following one of the most scenic sections of the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail. Surrounded by dense jungle, winding mountain roads, and breathtaking landscapes, this is a day filled with adventure, culture, and wartime history.

Leaving Prao in the morning, we travel through traditional ethnic minority communities, including villages inhabited by the Co Tu and Pa Co people. These remote settlements offer a fascinating glimpse into the unique customs, lifestyles, and cultural traditions that have been preserved for generations in Vietnam's mountainous regions.

Continuing along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, we ride through spectacular scenery featuring lush forests, dramatic valleys, and some of the most enjoyable mountain roads in the country. One of the highlights of the day is the historic Dakrong Bridge, an iconic landmark along the former wartime supply route and a perfect location to admire the stunning landscapes of the Truong Son Mountains.

In the afternoon, we arrive in Khe Sanh, a town deeply connected to the history of the Vietnam War. Here, we visit the former Ta Con Military Airport, part of the famous Khe Sanh Combat Base. Explore the preserved military exhibits, including aircraft, helicopters, and historical relics, while learning about one of the most significant battlefields of the war.

After a rewarding day of riding, we check into our hotel in Khe Sanh. In the evening, you may choose to relax, explore the town, or enjoy a fun karaoke session with our friendly Easy Rider guides—a memorable way to experience local Vietnamese culture.

Overnight: Hotel in Khe Sanh

DAY 3: KHE SANH TO HUE: 220 KM

DMZ History, Vinh Moc Tunnels & Coastal Roads

Our final day combines spectacular riding with some of the most important historical sites from the Vietnam War. From the mountains of Khe Sanh to the peaceful lagoons and coastline near Hue, today's journey offers a fascinating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Leaving Khe Sanh in the morning, we travel through the former DMZ region and visit the famous Rockpile, a strategic U.S. military observation post during the Vietnam War. Rising dramatically above the surrounding landscape, this iconic landmark played a key role in monitoring troop movements and supply routes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Continuing eastward, we stop at the Truong Son Martyrs' Cemetery, the largest military cemetery in Vietnam. This powerful memorial honors thousands of Vietnamese soldiers who lost their lives along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and serves as an important reminder of the country's wartime history.

The journey then takes us to the historic Hien Luong Bridge and Ben Hai River at the 17th Parallel, the former dividing line between North and South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. Walking across the bridge offers both beautiful photo opportunities and a deeper understanding of one of the most significant chapters in Vietnamese history.

Next, we explore the remarkable Vinh Moc Tunnels, an underground village hand-dug by local residents to survive years of intense bombing during the war. Hidden beneath the earth are living quarters, kitchens, wells, medical stations, and classrooms, offering a powerful insight into the resilience of the local people.

In the afternoon, we leave the historic DMZ behind and follow the scenic coastal route past Cua Tung Beach before arriving at the tranquil Tam Giang Lagoon, the largest brackish-water lagoon system in Southeast Asia. Here, enjoy the peaceful scenery, traditional fishing communities, and beautiful views that provide a perfect contrast to the wartime history experienced earlier in the day.

By late afternoon, we arrive in Hue, bringing our unforgettable 3-day Easy Rider adventure to a close.
