Our tours cater to a range of experience levels. We offer beginner-friendly tours on easier terrain, intermediate tours with more challenging routes, and advanced tours for seasoned riders seeking adventure. We’ll assess your skill level before recommending a suitable tour.
The tour price typically includes motorbike rental (unless you bring your own), fuel, accommodation, meals as specified in the itinerary, a knowledgeable guide, support vehicle (if applicable), entrance fees to attractions, and basic riding gear (helmet, gloves). It’s important to review the specific tour details for a complete list of inclusions.
We keep the itinerary flexible on purpose. We can give you a general overview but Ha Giang is remote and conditions can change quickly, so we adapt routes and stops to suit the weather, the group, and the road. That said, we’ve been running this loop for nearly a decade and know it better than anyone. We choose clean, comfortable, character-filled homestays and guesthouses with local connections and home-cooked meals. Don’t expect a glam hotel. These are roadside accommodations that we’ve vetted and have built relationships so we don’t disclose the names before the ride.
Trust us: you’ll get a well-crafted, experience-rich adventure without the tourist traps. This isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about letting the road (and our expert guides) lead the way.

The daily distances vary depending on the tour’s difficulty level and terrain. Generally, beginner-friendly tours cover shorter distances, around 100-150 km per day, while intermediate and advanced tours might range from 150-250 km or more. We design our itineraries to balance riding time with breaks for sightseeing, meals, and rest, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all riders.
Our tours are well-planned with contingencies in place for breakdowns. We have a support vehicle (or arrangements with local mechanics) that can assist with repairs or provide a replacement bike if necessary. Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities, so we’ll ensure you get back on the road as quickly as possible.
Storage on site and a safe for valuable items.
We focus on quality, character, and connection. We’re not the cheapest but we are the most intentional. We keep our groups small, prioritize safety, make sure our experiences are real, and our vibe is laid-back but respectful. You won’t find rowdy party crowds or selfie-stick stampedes here. You’ll just find curious, open-minded travelers of all ages who are here for the ride, the culture, and the story.
We’ve built our trips for people who want something more than just a checklist. They want adventure with meaning. If that sounds like you, we think we’ll get along just fine.
