Ride the Ho Chi Minh Trail from Hanoi to Hoi An
Ride the Ho Chi Minh Trail and experience the history and culture of Vietnam first-hand. The Ho Chi Minh Trail was a strategic network of paths and roads that supplied southern battlefields during the War, and parts of this network have now been upgraded to form the Ho Chi Minh Highway. The Ho Chi Minh Trail motorcycle tour offers bikers one of the best motorcycling roads in Southeast Asia, as it traverses the Annamite Mountains which form a natural border between Vietnam and Laos. Our route passes through historic locations from the war, at least three World Heritage sites, and pristine jungle and offers easy access to the beaches on the coast.
