Gently ride through the lush greenery of northern Vietnam on a leisurely exploration designed for all the family. Whilst the biking may be sedate with plenty of stops for breaks and photos, the days are action-packed and filled to the brim with activities to keep everyone amused. From meeting rescued monkeys and gibbons through to making fresh spring rolls together, you’ll experience Vietnam through the eyes of locals, and leave with a wealth of happy and fond memories.
SpiceRoads CyclingHanoi is the gateway to the rich natural and cultural bounty of the North. Beyond the city, a vibrant landscape awaits: limestone peaks, expansive rice paddies, highland villages, wild jungles, and ancient temples. Instead of long day-trip car rides, the North Vietnam Family Explorer maximises your outdoor time, combining kid-friendly bike routes with immersive, quintessentially northern Vietnamese experiences.
Beginning with a hotel pick-up in Hanoi, your adventure kicks off in the Red River Delta, where you visit a traditional water puppet theatre and cycle across the plains filled with villages, churches, and pagodas. You then spend two days in the karst-studded landscape of Ninh Binh, enjoying gentle rides through the countryside, a rowboat trip in a quiet wetland reserve, and an excursion to a wildlife centre home to rescued primates and pangolins. From here, you transition to the jungle-draped highland paradise of Pu Luong, where you hike and bike through terraced rice fields while learning about the traditions of the local Thai and Muong communities. Your tour concludes with a transfer back to your hotel in Hanoi.
