Yes. Off-road motorbike tours are available for experienced riders looking for dirt roads, technical terrain, and remote mountain adventures.

Vietnam now accepts international driving permits from most countries, your home motorbike driving license on our tours. Please check with your health insurance provider to make sure they cover driving while in Vietnam

Drivers Licenses: Your home country driving license will be good for our tours. However, if you are involved in an accident that requires police to investigate you will be asked to supply a valid driving license, fines can be imposed and motorbike impounded.

Insurance: We strongly advise all overseas customers to obtain travel insurance before they arrive. You should have your own health insurance coverage that covers driving in Vietnam, while international quality health facilities are available in Hanoi and HCMC, health care services in the countryside is of a lower standard. District towns have health facilities that include emergency, x-ray services and can help you deal with a minor accident, they will accept payment at the end of treatment.

We do not offer coverall liability insurance you will be responsible for the full replacement cost if the motorbike is lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair. If Motorbike has been damaged on One of our tours we will get it back to Hanoi. but, you be liable for its repair. While on tour we accept that there will be normal wear and tear on the bikes or a few scratches. Dropping the bike is part of the experience, we are only concerned with major damage to the bike that would make it not functioning. we have a price list of replacement parts like the radiator, handlebars and smashed plastic bits on request.

We do not offer third party liability insurance If involved in an accident with a local person we will work with them to make restitution in cash on the spot for damages to the other vehicle and if any medical aid is required. Medical care is very reasonably priced and in case of a small accident the cost is minimal. As an example: Trip to provincial town private medical centre with 2 X-rays and doctor consultation 40 $US ( no broken bones to set in this case).  Motorbiking is not the safest of activities in Vietnam so we always drive slow and take care.
We are on a tour, not a race.

It is best to avoid problems and drive slowly and safely, if you are in an accident, even if it is not your fault, you must be prepared to negotiate a payment or restitution on the spot.

We have a support vehicle available to follow us on tour to carry luggage and provide transport in-case of injury. Please contact us for details.

Accommodation: Although Vietnam is a developing country and we visit some remote places, the quality of accommodation has improved greatly. In small towns we stay at local private guest houses, each double room will have air conditioning, private bath, hot water and mosquito nets on each bed. In some locations, local homestays are available where the sleeping arrangements are made usually in a house on stilts all in one room. Each person will have a mattress, pillow and mosquito net with a shared toilet/shower in an outbuilding. Silk sleeping sheets are available from Shops in Hanoi.

Some places have proper hotels with International TV, private showers and balconies (depends on location). We always try to take the best hotel or guest in town on our tours. Our tours are based on Single rooms and shared house when we stay with families in local home-stays.
