6 Days Untouched Region by Bike & Halong Bay

Tour description: Cycling in untouched regions is one of the great options for a real Vietnam experience. For travelers who love to seek real experiences deep among peaceful villages in mountains or lowlands. There is no better way to experience the sights smells and sounds of daily life in than by peddling slowly between lush rice paddies from village to village. It is great fun and a naturally sociable way to meet villagers and farmers. Viet Vision Travel offers soft cycling adventures for 5 days/4 nights in northeast Vietnam. This is one of the best combinations: exploring, on the one hand, a rural village and, on the other, the harbor city of Hai Phong, then on to the world heritage region of Halong Bay. Your overnight accommodation will include village home stay, modern hotel and deluxe junk on Halong Bay.
