Itinerary
Somewhere not far from the cacophony of the scooter and motor vehicle traffic, the modern downtown, and the jungle of concrete, there is a real jungle that owns footpaths under a thick canopy across streams. A bit further to the north–northeast of these woods, there are hills and hills covered by cashew nut, rubber, and coffee plantations. To all riders, you will have a chance to challenge your skills with this three-day motorcycle tour from Saigon to Dong Xoai and Nam Cat Tien
Get ready!
Day 1: Saigon to Dong Xoai, via Cuchi tunnels
Leave bustling Saigon behind, head to the back roads in the northwest of the city by riding following our Saigon Riders guide. On the way, you will see how the Saigoneer manages to go to work by motorbike in this amazing traffic. You also will understand the chaotic order of sharing the road. Leaving the city behind you will enter the beautiful countryside to discover that Cuchi is not only about the tunnels. No other tour will take you out through this scenic countryside. And you will continue on by driving along dirt trails zigzagging through villages, rubber plantations, and rice paper drying fields.
Not interested in the tunnels? No worries, we can skip it. It will save more time for the off-road parts of this three-day motorcycle tour from Saigon. We keep our ride through the rubber plantation to Dong Xoai city for an overnight stay in the hotel.
Day 2: Dong Xoai to Nam Cat Tien
We have some selections of the route today, depending on your riding skills and weather. But all the routes provide a very challenging run today with single trails through cashew plantations, crossing streams.
After lunch, we’ll cut through the agricultural bounty of this part of Vietnam – cashew, rubber and coffee plantations before heading through the pleasant rural town of Da Te. Nam Cat Tien is the overnight destination for day two of our three-day motorcycle tour from Saigon. On the way, we’ll take some back roads through remote rural ethnic villages to take in some spectacular and diverse landscapes. A solid day’s ride followed by a good meal and a welcome night’s rest.
Day 3: Nam Cat Tien – Saigon
The day starts with a quick breakfast on the edge of Cat Tien National Park before we continue our dirt bike tour from Saigon. It’s a rich lowland tropical forest and biosphere reserve in southern Vietnam which protects a variety of breathtaking flora, birds as well as animals including Asian elephants, sun bears, gaurs, and a variety of smaller mammals. We’ll have to leave visiting Nam Cat Tien for another day and instead concentrate our energies on more important matters which are your goals for today: enjoying the trail riding and managing not to fall off your bike!
The area surrounding Nam Cat Tien provides very challenging muddy and slippery trails in the rainy season. In the dry season, dirt riders also find challenges in conquering the tracks through cashew plantations and stream crossings. After negotiating these obstacles we’ll continue on past Tri An lake and return to Ho Chi Minh before the traffic on the way back becomes chaos in rush hour
A mix of off-road and on-road, a dirt bike tour ride with family, friends, and colleagues to Nam Cat Tien and back is a great taste of the muddy tracks and dusty trails in thick jungle and diverse rural settings.
