Tour Overview

This six-day Northeast Loop rides from Hanoi to Ba Be Lake, then through Bao Lac and Dong Van to Ha Giang before a final night at Thac Ba Lake. Despite the Northeast name, the route includes the Dong Van Karst Plateau and Ma Pi Leng area. Day 1’s distance is still to be confirmed.

The booking form sells the tour at USD 810 per person, with solo surcharges on top. The page itself quotes prices individually by group and riding style. Inclusions are defined by your confirmed quotation, not by a fixed list.

Boat trips at Ba Be and Thac Ba Lakes depend on timing, weather and local availability. Their cost and inclusion sit inside the quotation. Expect several substantial riding days across the six days.

Important Tour Notes

  • Riding styles (per the page): the Easy Rider passenger option means travelling behind a local rider with no motorbike experience needed; ask whether it is available for your dates. Self-ride is for experienced riders only: a valid licence for the motorcycle and driving documents recognised in Vietnam, including an International Driving Permit where applicable; Rew Rew must check documents before confirming, and the bike model and any related costs will be specified in the quotation.

What to Bring:

  • Long trousers, a long-sleeved layer and closed shoes suitable for riding
  • Warm clothing for cool mountain mornings and evenings
  • Rain protection, sunscreen and sunglasses
  • Personal medication and a refillable water bottle
  • A small bag for items needed during the riding day

Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Hanoi to Ba Be

Distance to be confirmed; riding time approximately 5-7 hours. Leave Hanoi early as busy streets give way to smaller towns, farmland and northern hills on a longer riding day. Arrive in the Ba Be area and settle in near the lake, with regular breaks on the way. If the group arrives with enough time, a boat trip may be possible, subject to weather and availability. Overnight near Ba Be Lake.

Day 2

Ba Be to Bao Lac

Approximately 150 km; riding time approximately 4-6 hours. Leave the lake behind and follow winding roads through valleys, forested hills and scattered settlements. Stop for lunch on the route and learn about daily life in the region through your guide. Visits to local communities depend on access and the wishes of residents. Arrive in Bao Lac for the night.

Day 3

Bao Lac to Dong Van via Meo Vac

Approximately 120 km; riding time approximately 4-6 hours. Ride toward Meo Vac and continue through the Ma Pi Leng area to Dong Van, past limestone mountains and steep valleys. Pause at accessible viewpoints if visibility and road conditions allow. Continue to Dong Van, where you can walk around town after arriving. Overnight in Dong Van.

Day 4

Dong Van to Ha Giang via Yen Minh and Quan Ba

Approximately 140 km; riding time approximately 4-6 hours. Travel south across the Dong Van Karst Plateau, then continue through Yen Minh and Quan Ba toward Ha Giang. Take a lunch break along the route and stop at suitable viewpoints near Quan Ba when conditions permit. Arrive in the Ha Giang area later in the day. Overnight in the Ha Giang area.

Day 5

Ha Giang to Vu Linh and Thac Ba Lake

Approximately 180 km; riding time approximately 5-7 hours. Leave the higher mountains and follow roads through agricultural areas toward the Red River valley. Arrive near Vu Linh for the final overnight stop beside Thac Ba Lake. A boat trip on the lake may be arranged if time, weather and local services allow. Overnight near Thac Ba Lake.

Day 6

Vu Linh to Hanoi

Approximately 160 km; riding time approximately 4-6 hours. Ride south through villages and farmland on the last leg of the loop, taking breaks before the roads grow busier near Hanoi. Stop for lunch on the route and return to the city later in the day. Leave enough time before any onward travel, as arrival depends on traffic and conditions.
