Cycling from Saigon to Hanoi allowed us to experience the stunning landscapes such a Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hué, lush paddy fields as well as quaint villages. Pedalling through the villages enabled us to experience first hand the friendliness of locals. How can we forget the delicious food we had everyday during the whole trip!
Halong Bay
Halong Bay Trips
Halong Bay, a World Heritage site where giant limestone peaks rise from emerald waters, is perhaps the star attraction in Vietnam. The name means ‘where the dragon descends into the sea’, and legend has is that a dragon came down from the sky, spraying a thousand pearls into the water. From those pearls grew the staggering limestone pinnacles and crags of the bay, creating a natural fortress to protect Vietnam. Many visitors join Halong Bay tours to sail among the islands in Chinese-style junk boats, gliding across the waters under dragon-fin sails and sleeping the night on board. Come sunset, everyone can gather on deck for a sundowner, while morning offers the opportunity for a spot of yoga in a peaceful, magnificent setting.

Ruth Jones Cycling VietnamI loved this trip, a great way to see Vietnam…helped enormously by our excellent guide and great company! I broke my wrist going for a walk on the day off cycling so missed a week of the tour in hospital. Our guide lam took me to hospital and waited with me until I went up to my walk , explaining and translating, then organised everything like sending luggage and kept in touch. He was backed up by his ‘boss’ Tan whom I didn’t meet but constantly text to see if there was anything I needed, and in fact is still helping me with insurance claim! I have done several exodus cycling trips and lucky enough to have never had an accident…/So very reassuring to know that that you are in such competent hands should it happen!
Thankyou Lam and Tan
