8-Day
Hanoi - Pu Luong - Tan Ky - Phong Nha - Khe Sanh - Hue - Danang
The Honda CB500X is an ideal choice for this Hanoi to Danang motorcycle tour. As a dedicated tourer it’s well-suited to the journey’s mix of long highway stretches along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and steep, winding mountain roads.
This tour is best enjoyed outside the rainy season (June through August). Many riders choose to avoid both the rainy season and the hotter months, and plan their adventure between September and April.
This Hanoi to Danang motorcycle tour offers an unforgettable 8-day adventure through some of Vietnam’s most stunning landscapes.
Our route steers clear of the busy Highway 1, instead taking you through the scenic mountain roads and tranquil countryside of central Vietnam.
Highlights include Phong Nha, known for its breathtaking caves, Khe Sanh, a historical site rich in war history, Hue, with its ancient imperial architecture, and the Hai Van Pass (made famous by Top Gear’s Vietnam Special) which offers spectacular views of the coastline and mountains.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail is probably Vietnam’s most iconic route. It runs north to south through some of the most remote parts of the country. Ride through untouched forests and over breathtaking mountain passes, and explore hot springs, waterfalls, and a host of sites of military historical significance.
Beyond its natural beauty, the trail is rich in military history, with several significant sites that tell the story of the Vietnam War.
Yes, this motorcycle tour takes you over the Hai Van Pass, a gorgeous mountain pass made famous by the Top Gear Vietnam Special.
You’ll also have the chance to take a loop around the Son Tra Peninsula, another awesome destination covered in unbelievably scenic, fast coastal roads.
As you travel along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and through the DMZ, you’ll visit Khe Sanh, the 17th Parallel, and other important war landmarks.
Along with the war sites, you’ll also encounter cultural landmarks in cities like the ancient imperial capital of Hue, adding a rich historical contrast to your adventure.
