Our biking adventure takes us from Hue to Nha Trang by bus, boat and bike. We cycle a little under 470 kilometers in 8 cycling days. Lots of time on this tour is spent sight seeing and exploring Vietnam. Participants can cycle as much or as little as they like and still enjoy the same views as the rest of the group. There is one long day with a 10 kms climb at the end, and fit and experienced riders usually find it sufficiently challenging. Fast cyclists can ride at their own pace.
Our route is designed to take us off the main roads as much as possible, and we explore scenic back roads. We spend very little time on busy Highway One, cycling only on the quiet and particularly scenic sections instead. Support will be supplied by an air-conditioned support bus that travels behind the group at all times
