Tailor-Made Motorbike Adventures Designed Around You
Your Vietnam motorcycle adventure does not have to fit a fixed itinerary. If you have specific dates, a dream route, a preferred motorcycle, or a riding style you want to match, we can design a private tour around you.
At Vietnam Motorcycle Adventures, we create custom Vietnam motorcycle tours for solo riders, couples, families, private groups and experienced adventure riders who want something more personal than a standard departure. Tell us how long you have, where you want to ride, what kind of roads you enjoy, and how challenging you want the journey to be. We will build a tailor-made motorbike tour that fits your time, skill level and travel goals.
From the mountain passes of Ha Giang and Cao Bang to the rice terraces of Northwest Vietnam, the caves and jungle roads of Phong Nha, the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail, and longer Hanoi to Saigon adventures, your route can be shaped around the ride you came to Vietnam for.
Start Planning Your Custom Tour
Build the Vietnam Motorcycle Tour You Actually Want
A custom tour gives you control over the parts of the journey that matter most. You can choose the number of days, the start and finish points, the riding difficulty, the motorcycle, the balance between paved roads and off-road trails, and the type of accommodation you prefer.
Some riders want remote dirt tracks, river crossings and mountain villages far from the main tourist routes. Others want scenic paved passes, local food, cultural stops and comfortable daily distances. Many groups want a mix of both. We can combine existing tour routes, adjust daily stages, add rest days, avoid sections that do not suit your group, or build a route from scratch.
Whether you want a short 2-day ride from Hoi An, a 5 to 9-day Northern Vietnam loop, a Ha Giang and Cao Bang expedition, or a long-distance journey across the country, we tailor the plan before you arrive so every riding day has a clear purpose.
What Can Be Customized?
Route
Choose one region or combine several into one bigger adventure:
- Ha Giang Loop and Dong Van Karst Plateau
- Cao Bang, Ban Gioc Waterfall and northeast border roads
- Northwest Vietnam, Sapa, Mu Cang Chai, Ta Xua and Pu Luong
- Halong Bay and Northern Vietnam backroads
- Phong Nha, Hue, the DMZ and Central Vietnam
- Ho Chi Minh Trail and historic mountain roads

How the Custom Tour Process Works
1. Tell Us Your Travel Plans
Send us your preferred dates, number of riders, start and finish city, riding experience, motorcycle preference and any must-see places.
2. We Recommend the Best Route
Based on your time, season, experience and interests, we suggest a route that gives you the best possible ride without overloading the daily distances.
3. We Match the Bike and Difficulty
We help you choose the right motorcycle and adjust the balance between paved roads, backroads and off-road sections.
4. You Review the Itinerary
We send a proposed route with the number of days, main stops, riding style and inclusions. You can request changes before confirming.
5. Ride Vietnam Your Way
Once the tour is confirmed, we handle the local planning so you can focus on the ride: guide, route, motorcycle, fuel, accommodation, meals and riding equipment according to the agreed tour package.
Why Choose Vietnam Motorcycle Adventures for a Tailor-Made Tour?
Local Route Knowledge
Vietnam changes quickly. Roads, weather, traffic, construction and trail conditions can all affect a motorcycle route. Our local experience helps us design realistic riding days and choose roads that match your group.
Remote and Authentic Experiences
Our tours are built for riders who want to go beyond the normal tourist trail. We focus on remote regions, local communities, mountain roads, hidden valleys and authentic encounters along the way.
Flexible Riding Difficulty
Not every rider wants the same challenge. We can plan a relaxed scenic tour, a serious off-road adventure, or a balanced mix that suits everyone in your group.
Guided and Organized
Your custom tour can include an experienced English-speaking or French-speaking guide, motorcycle, fuel, meals, accommodation, entry fees, ferry crossings and riding equipment depending on the final itinerary.
Bike Options for Different Routes
Choosing the right motorcycle matters. A light dual-sport bike may be best for remote tracks, while a mid-size adventure bike may be better for longer paved sections. We help you choose based on the tour, not just the look of the bike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you customize an existing motorcycle tour?
Yes. We can adapt many of our existing Vietnam motorcycle tours by changing the route, number of days, start date, riding difficulty, motorcycle choice or accommodation style.
Can we choose our own start date?
Yes. Custom tours are private, so we can plan the departure around your travel dates, subject to guide and motorcycle availability.
How many days do we need for a custom Vietnam motorcycle tour?
You can ride for as little as 1 or 2 days, but 5 to 9 days gives a much deeper experience. For a cross-country Vietnam motorcycle adventure, plan around 12 to 23 days depending on the route and pace.
Can beginners join a custom motorcycle tour?
Vietnam traffic and mountain roads can be demanding, so riding experience is important. If someone in your group is not confident riding, ask us about passenger options or easier routes.
Can we include off-road riding?
Yes. We can include off-road sections when they suit your experience, motorcycle choice, weather and route. Technical off-road tours are best for experienced riders.
Which motorcycle should I choose?
That depends on your route and experience. Lighter bikes are better for rougher tracks and remote sections. Larger adventure bikes are more comfortable for longer paved distances. We will recommend the best fit during planning.
Can we start in Hanoi and finish in Hoi An or Saigon?
Yes, longer custom tours can be built as one-way routes when the schedule and logistics allow.
What is included in a custom tour?
Inclusions depend on the final itinerary, but tours can include motorcycle, guide, fuel, meals, accommodation, entry fees, ferry crossings, helmet, basic riding gear and other agreed services.
