TOUR ITINERARY
DAY 1: NHA TRANG → BUON MA THUOT (BMT CITY): 190 KM
Coastal Views, Ede Culture & Central Highlands Adventure
Your Easy Rider journey begins by leaving the coastline of Nha Trang behind and heading toward the majestic Central Highlands. Today offers a perfect combination of coastal scenery, mountain roads, ethnic culture, and agricultural landscapes.
After departing Nha Trang, we ride along a scenic coastal route with several stops at panoramic viewpoints overlooking the ocean and nearby islands. One of the highlights of the morning is visiting a traditional fishing village, where local fishermen bring in their daily catch and trade fresh seafood at the bustling waterfront market. Take a walk through the village and experience the authentic rhythm of coastal life.
Leaving the sea behind, we gradually climb into the Central Highlands, where the scenery transforms into rolling hills, fertile farmland, and forested mountains. Along the way, we stop at sugarcane plantations to sample freshly harvested sugarcane and learn about one of the region’s important agricultural products.
Continuing inland, we visit a traditional Ede ethnic village, home to one of the largest indigenous groups in the Central Highlands. Here, you'll gain insight into the unique culture, customs, and daily life of the Ede people while exploring their community and traditional way of living. After lunch, we cross the scenic Phoenix Pass, one of the most beautiful mountain roads in the area, offering sweeping views of the surrounding valleys and highland landscapes.
The ride continues through peaceful countryside roads lined with pepper farms, rice fields, and rubber plantations. We stop at local farms where you can learn about pepper cultivation, rubber production, and the agricultural economy that supports much of the region.
Upon arriving in Buon Ma Thuot, the coffee capital of Vietnam, we visit the Dak Lak Museum (closed on Mondays). Designed in the style of a traditional longhouse, the museum provides fascinating insight into the history, culture, and ethnic diversity of the Central Highlands. Exhibits showcase the traditions of the Ede, M’nong, and Gia Rai people, as well as the region’s important role in Vietnam’s history.
We arrive at our hotel in Buon Ma Thuot in the late afternoon and settle in for the evening.

DAY 2: BMT CITY → LAK LAKE: 130 KM
Dray Sap Waterfall, Local Villages & Lak Lake
Today’s ride combines fascinating history, local craftsmanship, and some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the Central Highlands as we journey from Buon Ma Thuot to the peaceful shores of Lak Lake.
Leaving Buon Ma Thuot in the morning, we visit the historic Dak Lak Prison ( Closed on Monday), a significant landmark dating back to the French colonial era. Once used to detain political prisoners and independence fighters, the prison stands today as a powerful reminder of Vietnam’s struggle for freedom and resilience throughout its history.
Continuing into the countryside, we stop at a local cacao plantation where you can learn about chocolate production from bean to bar and enjoy a refreshing cup of locally produced hot or iced chocolate. Along the way, we also visit traditional villages known for handmade rice noodles and mushroom cultivation, offering an authentic glimpse into rural life in the Central Highlands.
After enjoying a local lunch, we head to the magnificent Dray Sap Waterfall, one of the most impressive waterfalls in the region. Surrounded by lush jungle and volcanic landscapes, the waterfall provides a perfect opportunity to relax, explore the surrounding forest, and capture stunning photographs of this natural wonder.
In the afternoon, we continue riding through peaceful farmland, ethnic villages, and scenic countryside roads before crossing a small local ferry on our way to Lak Lake. Nestled among mountains and forests, Lak Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake in the Central Highlands and is renowned for its tranquil beauty, traditional stilt houses, and rich ethnic culture.
Arriving in Lak Lake in the late afternoon, you can relax by the water, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and experience the unique charm of this beautiful highland destination.

DAY 3: LAK LAKE→ DA LAT: 160 KM
Lake Sunrise, Coffee Culture & Easy Rider Roads to Da Lat
An early start rewards us with one of the most peaceful experiences of the entire tour. At sunrise, we take a traditional dugout canoe across the calm waters of Lak Lake, one of the largest freshwater lakes in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. Surrounded by rolling hills, forests, and M’nong villages, the lake offers a glimpse into a way of life that has remained unchanged for generations. Along the shoreline, you may spot fishermen casting their nets, water buffalo grazing nearby, and local villagers beginning their day.
Back on land, we take time to explore Lak Village, where the indigenous M’nong people continue to preserve their traditional stilt houses, handicrafts, and unique cultural heritage. Walking through the village provides an authentic insight into daily life in the Central Highlands, far from the busy tourist routes.
Leaving Lak Lake behind, our Easy Rider motorbike tour heads south through scenic countryside roads toward Da Lat. The ride features beautiful mountain landscapes, winding roads, and endless views of coffee farms and farmland that make this region one of the highlights of any Vietnam motorbike adventure.
Along the way, we stop at a local coffee plantation, where you will learn about Vietnam’s coffee industry and sample different varieties, including Robusta, Arabica, and the famous Weasel Coffee.

Nearby, we visit a Buddhist temple complex featuring a giant Happy Buddha and one of the tallest Lady Buddha statues in southern Vietnam.
