For Intermediate Riders
Hidden Vietnam has designed this range of Vietnam motorcycle tours specifically for intermediate riders with average off-road riding skills who are ready to take on more adventurous terrain. If you already have some experience riding on dirt and gravel but want to push your limits, this tour is the perfect next step. It features incredible riding through remote landscapes near the Laos and China borders, where breathtaking scenery and authentic local culture await beyond the tourist trail.
Covering approximately 1,500 kilometers, this motorbike adventure in Vietnam combines some of the finest sections of the legendary North Centre Loop with carefully selected off-road trails leading to traditional hill tribe villages and over spectacular mountain passes in Ha Giang and Northeast Vietnam. The itinerary is based on our more demanding tours for experienced riders, but with the most technical sections removed to make the ride more accessible. That said, don’t expect an easy cruise – each day brings a new combination of paved roads, dirt tracks, and varying terrain designed to keep the ride exciting. Throughout the journey, our goal is to help you improve your off-road riding techniques, gain confidence on different surfaces, and enjoy one of the most rewarding Vietnam motorcycle tours available.
This Vietnam motorcycle tour lasts at least 6 days, with an average of 5 hours of riding per day covering around 200 kilometers. Keep in mind that riding in Vietnam is very different from riding at home. With a national speed limit of around 60 km/h on most roads, a 200km day usually takes about 6 hours, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and local culture rather than rushing from one destination to the next.
If your schedule allows, we highly recommend extending the trip to 8 days. This gives you the opportunity to explore some of the most spectacular regions of Northern Vietnam, including Ha Giang and Northeast Vietnam, renowned for their breathtaking mountain scenery, winding roads, dramatic landscapes, and rich ethnic minority culture. The extra days make for a more relaxed pace and an even more rewarding motorbike adventure in Vietnam.
Intermediate Riders – Skill Requirements
This Vietnam motorcycle tour is not suitable for complete beginners with no off-road riding experience. It is designed for riders who are comfortable on a manual motorcycle, whether their experience comes from road riding, trail riding, or a combination of both. Participants should have at least intermediate riding skills and be confident handling a motorcycle on paved roads as well as easy to moderate off-road terrain.
To ensure everyone has the best possible experience, we can adjust the daily routes to match the riding ability of the group whenever possible. We strongly recommend contacting us before booking so we can place you in a group that best suits your riding experience and skill level, ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and rewarding motorbike adventure in Vietnam.
