Heading up the famous Hai Van Pass by motorbike, weâll take in the amazing views over the bays before stopping at the top to see the old war battlements and bunkers and learn about the fascinating history and strategic importance of the pass.

Our fascinating ride continues as we head north on to the quieter coastal road, passing through the magnificent rural countryside. We ride past many ancestral houses and tombs which play an important part in Vietnamese culture, known as the âCity Of Ghostsâ. Weâll then jump off the bikes and head up to a hilltop Buddhist pagoda with stunning views of the huge lagoon. After a break in a local cafe, we visit and learn about the history of a thousand-year-old Cham Temple and the Champa Kingdom. Our final stretch takes us through yet more beautiful rural landscapes and local villages, we visit a local family making fish sauce, pass by many ornate tombs and ancestral houses and check out a local boat building yard before arriving in Hue city.
