HANOI, Vietnam – April 2026 — Anvui Travel has officially launched the Vietnam Coastal Cycling Expedition, a 19-day, approximately 1,900-kilometer cycling journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. The new product marks a strategic expansion into long-distance adventure tourism, aligning with the rapid global growth of active and experiential travel, where cycling has become one of the fastest-growing segments.
What is the Vietnam Coastal Cycling Expedition?
The Vietnam Coastal Cycling Expedition is a fully supported, end-to-end journey spanning the length of Vietnam from north to south, following a route that gradually transitions from inland delta landscapes to extended coastal riding. Covering approximately 1,900 kilometers over 19 days, the program combines long-distance cycling with structured cultural experiences across multiple regions.
The route connects diverse environments—from the fertile Red River Delta in the north, through quieter inland provinces, to the extended coastal roads of central and southern Vietnam—offering a continuous, cross-country experience. More than a point-to-point ride, the expedition is structured as a progressive narrative, where each region reveals a different layer of Vietnam’s landscape, culture, and daily life.
Why is Anvui Travel launching this product now?
The launch reflects a clear shift in global travel demand, with international travelers increasingly seeking journeys that combine physical challenge, cultural authenticity, and personal achievement.
Vietnam’s geography—featuring a long coastline, varied terrain, and rich cultural diversity—makes it particularly suitable for long-distance cycling. However, fully supported cross-country expeditions remain limited in the market.
“This product responds directly to the growing demand for active travel experiences in Asia,” said Nguyen Manh Linh, CEO of Anvui Travel. “We are seeing strong interest from international partners who want professionally operated programs that go beyond sightseeing and allow travelers to engage with Vietnam in a more meaningful way.”
What makes this expedition different from other cycling tours?
Unlike shorter regional tours, the expedition offers a continuous North–South journey across Vietnam. A key feature is the extended time spent on coastal routes, with riders passing through fishing communities and less-visited seaside areas alongside major cultural destinations.
A key differentiator is the progressive transition into coastal riding, where early inland stages build endurance before leading into extended periods on some of Vietnam’s most scenic seaside roads in the central and southern regions. The route offers uninterrupted ocean views, transitions through fishing communities, and access to quiet coastal stretches rarely included in conventional itineraries.
This structure creates a layered journey, where riders first engage with Vietnam’s rural heartland before reaching the coastline, enhancing both physical progression and experiential depth.
In addition, the expedition integrates both well-known cultural destinations and lesser-visited regions, creating a balance between iconic highlights and authentic local experiences. This combination positions the tour as both a physical challenge and a comprehensive exploration of Vietnam.
What does the 19-day route include in detail?
The journey begins in Hanoi and moves into the Red River Delta on Day 1, where riders experience flat terrain, rice fields, and dense agricultural activity. This initial phase establishes direct interaction with rural life and traditional village structures.
Over the following days, the route continues through Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, and Ninh Binh, where participants encounter lowland agricultural regions near the coast, local markets, and limestone landscapes. These early stages emphasize authentic, non-touristic environments and everyday routines.
From Ninh Binh through Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh, the expedition continues through a mix of inland and near-coastal provinces, offering long but steady cycling days on mostly paved roads. This section highlights Vietnam’s less commercialized regions and provides a consistent endurance rhythm.
The transition to more consistent coastal riding becomes increasingly evident as riders approach Dong Hoi and Quang Tri, where sea views and seaside roads begin to define the experience. From this point onward, coastal scenery becomes a dominant element of the journey. This area also offers optional visits to historical DMZ sites, adding depth and context to the journey through Vietnam’s modern history.
A defining highlight occurs in Central Vietnam as riders travel from Hue toward Da Nang via the iconic Hai Van Pass.
Why is Hai Van Pass the defining highlight of the expedition?
Often described as one of the most spectacular coastal roads in the world, the Hai Van Pass stands as the defining moment of the Vietnam Coastal Cycling Expedition. Stretching between Hue and Da Nang, this legendary mountain pass offers a rare combination of physical challenge and breathtaking scenery that few cycling routes can match.
As riders begin the ascent, the landscape gradually transforms. The road winds upward along the mountainside, revealing sweeping views of the East Sea below. With every turn, the coastline unfolds—turquoise waters, quiet bays, and stretches of untouched shoreline—creating a sense of scale and isolation that defines this segment of the journey.
The climb itself is steady and rewarding rather than extreme, making it accessible for experienced riders while still delivering a strong sense of achievement. Reaching the summit is not just a physical milestone, but a visual one—where mountains, ocean, and sky converge into a panoramic view that captures the essence of Vietnam’s natural beauty.
The descent toward Da Nang is equally memorable. Long, curving roads guide riders down toward the coast, offering uninterrupted views and a smooth, exhilarating ride that contrasts with the effort of the climb.
More than just a scenic stop, the Hai Van Pass represents a turning point in the expedition—a moment where the journey becomes not only about distance, but about experience. For many riders, it is the highlight they remember most, and the reason this expedition stands apart from typical cycling tours.
Continuing south through Tam Ky, Quang Ngai, and Quy Nhon, the route follows quieter coastal roads where scenic ocean views dominate. The stretch between Quy Nhon, Tuy Hoa, and Nha Trang is considered one of the most visually striking sections, offering extended seaside riding.
From Nha Trang to Phan Rang and Phan Thiet, the landscape shifts into a drier, more distinctive environment.
Riders encounter sand dunes, open terrain, and agricultural zones known for dragon fruit farming, creating a strong contrast with earlier regions.
The final stage takes participants from Vung Tau through the mangrove forests of Can Gio, including a transfer segment across the river (by ferry or support vehicle), before entering Ho Chi Minh City.
This closing segment provides a symbolic transition from natural landscapes into an urban environment, marking the completion of a full cross-country journey.
Rather than offering a purely coastal ride, the expedition is designed as a full-spectrum journey across Vietnam—where inland landscapes, rural communities, and coastal environments are experienced as a continuous progression.
How challenging is the cycling experience?
The expedition is classified as moderate to challenging and is designed for riders with a solid fitness base or prior long-distance cycling experience.
Participants cycle between 80 and 120 kilometers per day, with an average riding time of five to eight hours. The terrain includes mostly paved roads, ensuring consistent riding conditions, with a mix of flat coastal sections, rolling hills, and one major mountain pass.
Bike options include touring, gravel, and mountain bikes, along with electric bikes, allowing flexibility for different rider profiles and mixed-ability groups.
What are the road and riding conditions like?
The route is carefully selected to prioritize road quality and rider safety, with the majority of the journey taking place on paved surfaces. Selected mixed sections are included to enhance variation without compromising rideability.
The combination of coastal flats and gradual elevation changes allows for sustained long-distance cycling, while the Hai Van Pass provides a controlled but rewarding climbing challenge. This balance ensures that the expedition remains both achievable and engaging for experienced riders.
How does Anvui Travel ensure safety and operational reliability?
Safety is a central pillar of the expedition. Each group is supported by a full operational system designed to manage both logistics and risk across the entire 1,900 km journey.
Support vehicles, including a van and truck, accompany the group at all times, providing mechanical backup, rider assistance, and logistical coordination. A professional cycling guide leads the route and manages pacing.
A dedicated mechanic performs daily bike maintenance and handles technical issues, while a medical assistant is present throughout the expedition to respond to any health-related situations.
Hydration, snacks, and structured rest stops are integrated into daily operations, and all routes are pre-scouted to ensure safe and consistent riding conditions.
“All logistics, technical operations, and safety measures are handled by our team so that riders can focus entirely on the experience,” added Nguyen Manh Linh.
What cultural experiences are included?
Cultural immersion is embedded throughout the expedition. Riders engage directly with local communities across different regions, including farmers in the north, fishing villages along the coast, and rural households in central Vietnam.
The journey includes key cultural destinations such as Hue and Hoi An, where historical and architectural elements are incorporated into the experience. Optional visits to historical sites, including DMZ areas, provide additional context.
Meals are structured as a full-board experience based on the itinerary, reflecting regional cuisine and supporting the physical demands of long-distance cycling. This combination allows travelers to experience Vietnam not only visually, but also through its daily life, traditions, and food culture.
What services are included and excluded?
The expedition includes accommodation based on twin or double-sharing rooms with daily breakfast, cycling equipment (MTB bikes and helmets), support vehicles, and an English-speaking cycling guide.
Additional inclusions cover a mechanic, medical staff, meals as specified in the itinerary (full-board on cycling days), water and snacks during rides, entrance fees where applicable, and all service charges and VAT.
Exclusions include international and domestic airfare, visa arrangements, travel insurance, personal expenses, alcoholic beverages, optional visits, tips, and any services not explicitly stated.
Who is this expedition designed for?
The Vietnam Coastal Cycling Expedition is developed primarily for B2B travel partners, including international tour operators, adventure travel companies, and experiential travel designers.
It is particularly suited for travelers seeking long-distance cycling challenges combined with authentic cultural immersion, as well as groups requiring high levels of operational support and safety assurance.
Pricing is structured on a case-by-case basis depending on group size and customization requirements.
