Vietnam Central Coast Cycling Holiday

Come to Vietnam and enjoy our Central Coast Cycling Holiday.

There are few things more satisfying to a cyclist than cruising down a paved road that slopes slightly downhill, the sea breeze blowing gently on their skin. This tour excels at delivering that sweet seaside relaxation, introducing riders to the fishing villages and other harborside towns of Vietnam’s Central Coast. The tour will take them to Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Hoi An, Hue, and countless small villages in between. Along the way, riders will get to experience the unique culture and cuisine of the area while breathing the salty-sweet ocean air. Fans of quaint, quirky cultural experiences will be in heaven.
That being said, this tour will also make riders break a sweat and get their hearts pumping as they go off road and cycle along some hilly terrain. Vietnam’s coastal region includes lots of rocky cliffs and rolling mountain ranges in addition to its sandy beaches. It also abuts fertile valleys that support rice paddies the riders will get to weave through. The juxtaposition of relaxed oceanside cruising with intense offroading makes this an excellent tour for advanced riders who want a challenge but also want to intersperse it with rest periods.
