TOUR ITINERARY 

DAY 1: DALAT →  LAK LAKE: 160 KM

Ride through the Central Highlands, visit coffee plantations, traditional workshops, Linh An Pagoda, and end the day at peaceful Lak Lake.

Your Easy Rider adventure begins at 8:30 AM as we leave Da Lat and head into the beautiful countryside of the Central Highlands. The first part of the ride takes us through flower-growing villages where local farmers cultivate roses, lilies, gerberas and many other flowers that are shipped throughout Vietnam every day.

Continuing along winding mountain roads, we descend through one of the most scenic passes in the region. Along the way, we stop at a coffee plantation where you will learn how coffee is grown, harvested and processed. Vietnam is one of the world's largest coffee producers, and this is a great opportunity to understand the differences between Robusta, Arabica, Moka and the famous Weasel Coffee while enjoying a freshly brewed cup overlooking the surrounding hills.

The journey continues with a visit to a local family producing traditional rice wine. Here you can learn about the production process and, if you wish, sample a small glass of the local "happy water". A short ride later brings us to a traditional silk factory where we follow the fascinating process from silkworm cocoon to finished silk products.

After lunch, we visit Elephant Waterfall, one of the most impressive waterfalls near Da Lat. Although direct access to the waterfall is currently restricted, the viewing area still provides excellent views of the powerful cascade. Nearby, explore Linh An Pagoda, home to a giant Happy Buddha and one of the tallest Lady Buddha statues in southern Vietnam.

In the afternoon, we continue riding through small villages, rice fields and beautiful countryside roads before stopping at a floating fishing village. Originally settled by families from the Mekong Delta, this unique community has built homes directly on the water and continues to rely on fishing as its main source of income.

Arriving at Lak Lake around 5:00 PM, you'll have time to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of one of Vietnam's largest natural freshwater lakes.

Overnight: Hotel.

DAY 2:  LAK LAKE → DAK MIL: 120 KM 

Experience M’nong ethnic culture, enjoy a peaceful canoe ride on Lak Lake, visit Dray Sap Waterfall, and ride through remote backroads and rice fields.

Wake up early and start the day with one of the most memorable experiences of the entire tour – a traditional dugout canoe trip on Lak Lake. As the morning mist rises above the water, local fishermen begin their daily work while water buffalo wander along the shoreline. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery make this a perfect introduction to life in Vietnam's Central Highlands.

After breakfast, we take a walk through a traditional M'nong village located beside the lake. The M'nong people have lived in this region for generations and continue to maintain many of their traditional customs. As we explore the village, you'll see wooden stilt houses, local farms, and gain a better understanding of the daily life, culture, and history of one of Vietnam's most fascinating ethnic minority groups.

Leaving Lak Lake behind, we continue riding through quiet countryside roads and agricultural landscapes towards Dray Sap Waterfall. Known as one of the largest and most impressive waterfalls in Dak Lak Province, Dray Sap offers a completely different environment from the open countryside we've travelled through earlier in the day.

There is plenty of time to relax, take photos, or enjoy a swim at the waterfall. Depending on the day, we may stop at a local market beforehand to purchase fresh ingredients for a picnic lunch inside the national park or enjoy lunch at a nearby local restaurant.

After exploring the waterfall area, we take a short walk through the forest to discover another hidden waterfall before continuing our journey. The afternoon ride takes us through rice fields, villages, and farming communities where we visit local cocoa plantations, incense workshops, and seasonal mushroom farms.

Arrive in Dak Mil in the late afternoon.

Overnight: Hotel.

DAY 3: DAK MIL → DONG XOAI: 190 KM

Follow the legendary Ho Chi Minh Road, learn about Vietnam War history, visit cocoa, cashew, and rubber plantations, and explore the historic Dong Xoai battlefield region.

Today offers some of the most remote riding of the entire journey as we head south along sections of the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail. After breakfast, we begin riding through rolling hills, forests, and agricultural regions that played an important role during the Vietnam War. Along the way, your guide will explain the history of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, how it was constructed, and why it became one of the most important supply routes during the conflict.

Our first stop is a cocoa plantation where you'll learn about the cultivation and processing of cacao beans. Vietnam's cocoa industry may be relatively small compared to coffee production, but it produces some excellent quality chocolate products.

Continuing south, we ride through beautiful landscapes near the Vietnam–Cambodia border. This region remains largely untouched by mass tourism and offers a glimpse into rural Vietnam far from the busy cities.

During the day, we visit a cashew plantation and processing facility. This region is one of the largest cashew-producing areas in the country, and you'll have the opportunity to see how cashews are prepared for export around the world.

Overnight: Hotel.

DAY4: DONG XOAI→ BEN TRE: 180 KM

Explore Cu Chi Tunnels & Entering the Mekong Delta

After breakfast, we leave Dong Xoai and make our way towards one of Vietnam's most famous historical sites – the Cu Chi Tunnels. Used extensively during the Vietnam War, this vast underground network stretches for hundreds of kilometres and served as living quarters, supply routes, communication tunnels, and defensive positions. During our visit, you'll learn how soldiers lived underground and how the tunnel system became an important part of wartime strategy.

Guests who wish to can crawl through a section of the tunnels to gain a better understanding of the conditions experienced by those who lived and fought here. There is also an opportunity to visit the displays and learn more about this fascinating chapter of Vietnam's history. After lunch, we leave the busy outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City behind and begin entering the Mekong Delta. The scenery gradually changes as rivers, canals, rice paddies, and coconut groves begin to dominate the landscape.

The afternoon ride follows quiet countryside roads through small villages and farming communities before reaching Ben Tre, often referred to as Vietnam's Coconut Kingdom.

Overnight: Hotel.

DAY 5: BEN TRE → CAN THO: 130 KM

Experience Mekong River Life, Coconut Villages & Fruit Orchards

Today is all about experiencing the unique culture and waterways of the Mekong Delta. After breakfast, we board a boat and cruise along the Tien River. As we travel through the river channels, you'll see floating fish farms, cargo boats, and local communities whose lives depend entirely on the waterways.

We visit several islands where local families produce traditional products and maintain lifestyles closely connected to the river. Walk through fruit orchards, sample seasonal tropical fruits, enjoy local honey tea, and listen to traditional Southern Vietnamese folk music performed by local musicians.

A visit to a coconut candy workshop provides an opportunity to learn about one of Ben Tre's most famous products. You'll see how coconut candy is made and, of course, have the chance to taste it fresh from the factory. Back on the motorcycles, we continue through fruit-growing regions, rice fields, and quiet village roads. This is one of the most relaxing riding days of the tour and offers countless opportunities to observe daily life in the Mekong Delta.

Arrive in Can Tho during the afternoon.

Overnight: Hotel.

DAY 6: CAN THO → HO CHI MINH CITY: 165 KM

Discover Cai Rang Floating Market & Journey to Ho Chi Minh City

Our final day begins before sunrise with a boat trip to Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest and most famous floating market in the Mekong Delta. The market comes alive early in the morning as traders gather to buy and sell fruit, vegetables, and other products directly from their boats. Watching this busy river commerce in action provides a fascinating insight into a trading tradition that has existed for generations.

Breakfast is available directly on the river from small boats serving local dishes and Vietnamese coffee. After exploring the floating market, we continue by boat to visit traditional rice paper and noodle workshops where local families still use traditional production methods. Before leaving Can Tho, we stop at a tropical fruit garden where you can sample fresh seasonal fruits and enjoy a final glimpse of life in the Mekong Delta.

Returning to the hotel, we prepare for the last stage of our motorcycle journey to Ho Chi Minh City. The ride offers one final opportunity to enjoy Vietnam's countryside before arriving in Saigon during the afternoon.

Our six-day adventure concludes around 3:00 PM in Ho Chi Minh City.
