What to expect on a cycling tour in Vietnam

When is the best time to go on a cycling holiday in Vietnam?
Vietnam’s long and narrow geography means climate varies by region. The best months for a cycling tour in Vietnam are October to February, when the weather is cooler and the rainy season has passed. A lightweight rain jacket is advisable all year round.

How challenging are cycling holidays in Vietnam?
Our tours are graded. Easy to Moderate. Easy rides are ideal for casual cyclists and take place mostly on flat or gently rolling terrain. Moderate rides suit those with a good fitness level who enjoy undulating routes with occasional climbs—perfect for a rewarding cycling trip in Vietnam.

What will the group be like on a cycling holiday in Vietnam?
Our groups are small and welcoming - usually around 12 people - with a good mix of solo travellers and couples. Ages vary widely, and groups are typically an even mix of men and women. For a more tailored insight into your tour group, our travel consultants can provide demographic details specific to your departure.

What do I need to bring on a Vietnam cycling tour?
Bring your own helmet, as they’re not supplied. Padded shorts are highly recommended, along with cycling gloves, a reusable water bottle, and a daypack for your jacket, snacks, and camera. Your main luggage will travel in the support vehicle.

What will the food be like on a cycling tour in Vietnam?
Fresh, fragrant and full of flavour—Vietnamese cuisine is a highlight of the trip. Enjoy dishes from bustling street vendors to quality restaurants. Don't miss the classic noodle soup Pho, or try Bun Cha, a Hanoi speciality served with grilled pork and noodles.
