Trip Itinerary & Options

Option 1: Hoi An / Da Nang → Hue (Depart: 7:30 AM)

Following hotel pickup in Hoi An or Da Nang, a short vehicle transfer brings us to the foot of the magnificent Hai Van Pass. After a quick briefing and bike fit, we begin the exhilarating climb up the pass. At the 496m summit, stop for photos and panoramic views over Lang Co Bay and Da Nang before enjoying an epic 10km downhill descent.

After a brief 30-minute vehicle transfer past Phuoc Tuong Pass, we ride through peaceful backroads along Tu Hien Lagoon and tranquil coastal fishing hamlets. We break for a hearty picnic lunch by the water. In the afternoon, cycle through emerald-green rice paddies and bamboo groves, passing the historic Thanh Toan Covered Bridge before concluding the ride near your hotel in Hue around 3:30–4:00 PM.

Option 2: Hue → Da Nang / Hoi An (Depart: 8:00 AM)

We pick you up from your hotel in Hue and start cycling along rural lanes fringed by lotus ponds, family vegetable patches, and ancient clan ancestral houses. We trace the edge of Cau Hai Lagoon on smooth, flat backroads, stopping for refreshment and lunch by the pristine coast.

In the afternoon, we tackle the northern approach of Hai Van Pass from Lang Co. After reaching the historical summit bunkers, enjoy the breathtaking downhill run sweeping into Da Nang Bay. Our vehicle drops you directly at your accommodation in Da Nang or Hoi An by late afternoon.

Flexible & Customizable Distance

Because the total cycling distance can reach 82 km, our air-conditioned support vehicle travels with the group the entire day with luggage, cold water, snacks, and extra gear. If you ever feel tired or want to skip any climb, you can hop into the support van at any point. We tailor each section so you only experience the most scenic, enjoyable biking in Vietnam!
