FAQs

Yes, if you have much prior riding experience and a valid motorbike license (international). However, we recommend choosing the easy rider option as they know the road well (many curves and steep, even some dirt trails)

The 4D4N tour offers a more relaxed pace and deeper exploration. Compared to shorter tours, you’ll have more time for off-the-beaten-path villages, cultural activities, and scenic stops. A highlight of the 4D4N itinerary is the boat tour on the Nho Que River, where you can cruise between limestone cliffs and admire the majestic Tu San Canyon — something often skipped in shorter versions.

The roads include curves and mountain passes, but they are regularly used by travelers. We ride at a comfortable pace, with rest stops every 40 minutes. Safety gear is provided, and our guides prioritize your comfort.

Solo travelers are always welcome to join a group tour. Shared tours are a great way to meet other travelers. However, if you go with your friends, there will be a discount on the price, and it is also fun to make more memories with your buddies.

Some areas have limited phone signals, and Wi-Fi is only available at some accommodations. We recommend downloading offline maps or letting your friends/family know about limited connectivity.

This 4-day Ha Giang loop tour still runs in light or moderate rain (rain jackets are provided if needed). In case of extreme weather conditions, we may adjust the route for safety.

March–May and September–November are ideal, with dry weather and stunning scenery. Summer (June–August) is lush and green but may have occasional rain. Winter (Dec–Feb) can be cold, especially at night.
