Est. 2015 • Ha Giang, Vietnam You may notice our booking pages look a little different while we finish the rebuild. Everything works as normal.
Est. 2015 • Ha Giang, Vietnam We are the original creators for the Ha Giang Loop. Small-group motorbike, 4x4 and enduro adventures through Vietnam's wildest north - led by the Kiwi and Vietnamese crew who have run this loop for over a decade.
Our best selling tour because it packs a punch! Our True North tour packs Ha Giang’s greatest hits into one epic ride. You’ll tackle winding mountain passes, ride through seriously jaw-dropping scenery, and splash about in hidden waterfalls. With local guides leading the way, expect authentic family-style meals, cosy and rustic homestays, and plenty of moments that’ll leave you speechless.
Whether you’ve come alone or with a group of friends, this trip delivers high adventure in a tight timeframe. You'll meet new like-minded people and share a whole lot of new experiences with them. With a 3-day option for those short on time and a 4-day option for those who want the full experience. It’s fast, fun, and full of character - just how we like it.
We have our own Flipside home base, located 10 minutes out of Ha Giang's centre. At the Flipside Villa we have private rooms (single, deluxe double or king rooms) and dorms, all with comfortable bedding, to suit everyone's sleeping requirements.
A delicious breakfast each morning is included in your stay and the bar is open every night. All shared spaces are designed for the ultimate relaxation, and the pool and hot tub make for a great recovery after a long ride.
Whilst on tour, you will be staying overnight at friendly homestays along the Northern Loop - for the real authentic Vietnamese experience.
Three days, one legendary circuit - up from Ha Giang, around the far north, and back. Here is where we take you, and where the buses don't.
The gateway city where every loop begins and ends - collect your bike, fuel up and roll out into the mountains.
Heaven's Gate pass and the Twin Mountains - your first big view out over the karst valleys.
Pine-lined roads and a calm valley town - a favourite lunch and coffee stop mid-climb.
The old Karst Plateau town - a cobbled ancient quarter, a lively night market and the H'mong King's palace nearby.
Vietnam's northernmost point - the flag tower looking straight across the border into China.
The crown jewel - the Ma Pi Leng Pass hanging high above the turquoise Nho Que River gorge.
A remote market town ringed by peaks, and the launch point for boat trips into the Tu San canyon.
A laid-back village of homestays, rice paddies and a waterfall - the mellow final stretch of the loop.
“This is without a doubt the most epic adventure I have ever been on. Flipside took us to awesome spots, where we saw no other tour groups going, which was really cool.”
“I've always loved bikes, but nothing could've prepared me for the insane scenery and epic trails out here. The guides were legends, the crew was super chill, and I met riders from all over the world. This ain't your average tour - it's a full-on adventure!”
“I cannot recommend Flipside Adventures enough for their incredible motorbike tour through the breathtaking mountains and charming villages of Ha Giang, Vietnam. The accommodation was top-notch, with clean, comfortable hostels in picturesque locations.”
“Flipside is definitely different to the hostel tours. We did the four day trip and it is so worth it. Every single easy rider was so nice and spending that amount of time with them, you really get to know them. Truly an unforgettable experience!”
