Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arrive in Mai Chau (180 km; L/D; Homestay)

   • Meet the tour guide in Hanoi. 
   • Do research on Google Maps and see the shortest way from Hanoi to Mai Chau, which is just around 130 km, but with the experienced team of motorbike experts, you will have a longer and greater Hanoi motorbike tour to Mai Chau. 
   • Take the back countryside roads, against the touristy tracks, through many rural rustic villages with a scenic view of mountains and rice paddies. (For other Vietnam motorcycle tour organizers, this first day could be the hard day, however for us, it is the highlight of the 'Motorbike tour in North Vietnam.')
   • Reach Mai Chau – a peaceful village of the Thai people, at 5:00 pm.
   • Go for a short walk around the lovely village (depending on your wish).

2. Day 2: See the Beautiful Plateaus of Moc Chau (150 km; B/L/D; Homestay)

   • Say goodbye to the host in Mai Chau and head up North Vietnam to Moc Chau – one of the most beautiful plateaus in Northern Vietnam and the most famous for its green tea farm. Lunch will be served in Moc Chau.
   • Ride on the mountain back road to the Da river lake. This ride could be the highlight of this North Vietnam motorbike tour because it will cross some breathtaking mountain passes and many villages of colourful tribes. 
   • Cross the river on a ferry, and we’ll have another great motorbike tour along the river bank to Phu Yen. It’s a short ride of about 30 km, but it must be the best part of the day, and it reminds you of the motorcycle ride on coastlines. 
   • End the day at the hotel in Phu Yen town at about 4:30.

3. Day 3: Visit the Thac Ba Lake (160 km; B/L/D; Homestay)

   • Hop on another short motorbike ride in North Vietnam, another highlight of this 4-day Vietnam motorcycle tour. 
   • Keep riding up to North Vietnam on the winding road through some more beautiful tea fields. Lunch will be in Yen Bai IMAG0805 town. 
   • Hit the road, after lunch, down to Thac Ba lake.
   • Arrive at the lake at about 3:00 pm. Leave the bikes in the village of the friendly Dzao people, which is located on the lake bank. 
   • Enjoy a short boat trip on Thac Ba lake.

4. Day 4: Departure (180 km; B/L/D; Homestay)

   • Start the last day of the North Vietnam motorbike tour back to Hanoi at 8:00 am after a simple breakfast with the friendly Dzao people. (Note: Depending on your requests, we can do a little bit off-road around the village before heading down to Hanoi or just slowly ride back on the back – roads through some green tea fields, rustic villages and along the river bank.) 
   • Return to Hanoi at about 4:00 pm and end the enjoyable motorbike tour in North Vietnam easily before rush hours.
