Guided motorcycle tours in Northern Vietnam — for experienced riders

Who’s This Ride For?

This ride is for experienced motorcyclists who enjoy riding with purpose — good pace, great roads, and days that feel well spent. It’s about strong, engaging riding through Northern Vietnam’s best backroads, without rushing the experience.

You’ll appreciate this if you value flowing mountain passes, quiet valleys, and routes chosen because they’re genuinely worth riding. One-on-one guiding allows the day to adapt naturally, keeping the focus on the road, the conditions, and the quality of the ride.

The Benefits of One-on-One Riding

When it’s just the two of us out there, the ride is completely yours. You set the pace — no pressure to keep up, no waiting for others — just you riding how you like to ride.

See something that catches your eye? A stunning view, a roadside café or you just want to take in the view for a minute — you stop when you want to stop. That’s the beauty of it. No schedules, no group rhythm — just the freedom to ride, explore, and take it all in at your own pace.

We’ll stay connected along the way with Cardo Bluetooth communications between our bikes, allowing us to share highlights or navigate turns effortlessly without breaking the flow of the ride.

Up front, it’s you and the open road — mountains, valleys, and the kind of scenery that makes you forget time altogether. It’s not about following a guide; it’s about your adventure, your moments, and your story unfolding one bend at a time.

Sapa & Hà Giang – Why We Don’t Ride There

Sapa is one of Vietnam’s most well-known destinations, and for good reason — it’s beautiful. That said, it’s also extremely touristy and heavily developed. Busy roads, constant traffic, tour buses, and crowds mean it’s simply not suited to the kind of relaxed, immersive motorcycle touring we believe in. For us, Sapa isn’t a motorcycle destination — it’s a sightseeing stop best enjoyed in other ways.

Hà Giang, on the other hand, is undeniably spectacular. The landscapes are raw, dramatic, and unforgettable. Unfortunately, in recent years it has been overwhelmed by mass tourism. Thousands of backpackers ride scooters daily — many inexperienced, many riding as passengers with easy riders — which has dramatically changed the feel of the region.

On top of this, Hà Giang Province is now heavily policed. Checkpoints are frequent, and stops are common. We recently watched a travel vlog where riders were stopped 17 times during a three-day loop. For us, that level of enforcement and congestion takes away from the freedom, flow, and enjoyment that make motorbike travel special.

Moto Viet focuses on quieter regions, lesser-known roads, and places where riding still feels natural, unhurried, and authentic — where the journey is the reward, not the crowds.
