Est. 2015 • Ha Giang, Vietnam We are aware of other operators copying us and passing themselves off as Flipside. We're flattered, but it has caused real distress for people who thought they were booking with us. Book through this site and you will get the real Flipside experience.
Est. 2015 • Ha Giang, Vietnam We are the original creators for the Ha Giang Loop and we're now taking tours to Sapa as well. Small-group motorbike, 4x4 and enduro adventures through Vietnam's wildest north - led by the Kiwi and Vietnamese crew who have run these roads for over a decade.
Our newest tour on offer! Why spend hours on a sleeper bus, when you can be enjoying the landscape of Linh Ho National Park with spring fed river swims, visit the Hole in the Rock mountain, relax in natural hot springs, climb the Chieu Lau Thi mountain peak at 2,400m, ride past authentic tea plantations and rice terraces through the Vietnamese rainforest climbing another 2,000m above sea level to the mountain township of Sapa on a motorbike?
Let us know where you want to start and whether you would rather go as a group or privately, and we will turn the journey into the most beautiful adventure.
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, and home to our own Flipside Villa - 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 forests and a calm valley town - the green, quiet stretch that breaks up the karst passes.
The old Karst Plateau town - a cobbled ancient quarter, a Sunday morning market worth getting up for, and the H'mong King's palace nearby.
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!”
“Book the Ha Giang Loop with Flipside. They are by far the best option. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and I’d do it again tomorrow.”
“Genuinely the best company if you want a tour that takes you on alternative roads to see unique scenery, whilst still supplying the same experience as other companies. They take their time and make sure you see all the best spots, whilst being a more intimate tour, where you actually get to know your driver.”
“Just got done with the three days two nights Ha Giang loop tour with Flipside Adventures, and it was absolutely epic! The trip was organized really well, with well spaced stops during the tour to get a good stretch and rest, great home stay locations, opportunities to swim in breathtaking waterfalls, great food.”
“The route we took could really be described as the road not travelled; we rode through areas where the outside world hadn’t touched upon the local culture or the villages of the many different ethnic groups of northern Vietnam. We would be often greeted by the local kids waving or asking for a picture along the way. It was an incredibly humbling and special journey.”
“Doing a Flipside tour was one of the best tours we have done. Our riders were very courteous, friendly safe and very helpful, taking us off the main roads into the heart of traditional Vietnamese life. We got to see the ‘real’ people, in real villages.”
“Flipside was perfectly organized, spots away from tourists crowds, excellent food everywhere, and a small group that we really enjoyed.”
Rated five stars across Google and TripAdvisor by riders from around the world.
