Day 1

Into the Wild

  • Safety briefing on Day 1: Every tour starts with a full safety briefing which explains the roads, our bikes, the local cultural etiquette, and emergency protocols. This is where we explain all the information you need to know for the trip ahead.

  • We are heading to Du Gia - the riding distance is approximately 115km.

  • An early breakfast at Flipside Villa, a late lunch at a peaceful local village and we'll end the day with a hearty dinner and a cold Bia Hoi in hand.

  • We hit the road via a little-known route and you'll be immediately surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Depending on the weather, we may stop at hidden swimming holes or support a local family in need through small but meaningful aid.

  • Your first home-stay night; you'll be staying the night with the local people who live in the North. Experiencing their home and seeing what their life entails from up close.

Day 2

Deeper Into the North

  • We are heading through Ma Pi Leng canyon to Dong Van. A distance of about 120 km today.

  • Breakfast and dinner are at local spots and with your home stays. Your lunch is served in the quiet Tay village, tucked deep in the mountains.

  • The mountains are a sight to behold; you'll explore a local cave system that provides naturally filtered water to nearby communities.

  • In the morning we'll be riding through vibrant Red Dao and Nung villages - plenty of stops for photos and cultural insight along the way. In the afternoon, we head into the legendary Ma Pi Leng Pass - dramatic, breathtaking, and every bit worth the hype.

  • Another home stay; this time with a lovely local Hmong host.

Day 3

Borderlands & Backroads

  • Back in the direction of Ha Giang via Yen Minh, travelling a total distance of 140km today.

  • We eat breakfast at the homestay and lunch is in Quan Ba, at one of the oldest operating restaurants in the province, serving up timeless local flavours. Dinner is included for guests on the 4-day tour - a BBQ feast and drinks outside by the pool.

  • We ride southwest through striking karst landscapes near the border, where ancient rock formations and fossils tell stories from the Jurassic era. And yes - there may be a cheeky step across the frontier (shh, don't tell anyone).

  • The afternoon is smooth sailing on newly paved roads - an easier ride to finish the long journey, with plenty of photo opportunities and coffee stops.

  • Another night at the Flipside Villa is included for those taking the 4-day tour only. For those who booked the 3-day tour, this is the end, and where you can freshen up before departure or book another night's accommodation.

Day 4

Real Connections

Optional - part of the 4 day tour only!

  • Today's ride winds through peaceful ethnic minority villages far from the tourist trail. No exact distance to travel - the pace is yours to set.

  • Fresh fruit and pancakes for breakfast. For lunch, you'll share a meal with one of our local guides and their family or gather for a local BBQ by the water.

  • We're exploring our local treasures; think stilt houses, rice paddies, and spring-fed pools - it's a quieter, more personal kind of magic. Explore caves, waterfalls, or just take it all in. It's raw, real, and often emotional - an unforgettable way to end the journey.

Off-road

Want to experience the raw True North and really get off the beaten track? This one isn't built for comfort - it's for the real thrill seekers. We specialise in finding the best hidden tracks to get the best views and the most exciting rides. This is a tour for those who love off-roading and have the motorcycle skills and experience to handle a hell of a ride. Talk to us about how many days you want to go and how far you want us to take you.

There is no fixed day by day plan on an enduro tour. Every route is built around the rider: tell us what you have ridden before and how hard you want to be pushed, and your guide sets the trails, the pace and the distance to match your ability and fitness on the day. That can mean flowing dirt roads and long views, or genuinely technical climbs - usually a bit of both.
