FAQ
Yes this is a private tour for both the motorbike and car option. We do have a join-in option for the motorbike, with a slightly different itinerary. Ask us for more information when interests.
On the back of the bike is the most recommended. You travel through the mountains like a local, it is both easy to look around you and stop everywhere, but what makes this the best option is for most of all the actual experience of being on the back of the motorbike.
The option with car is the most comfortable. You sit more comfortably and are better protected against the weather elements, such as rain, strong sun, cold and heat.
There is little traffic in Ha Giang, but the roads wind through mountain passes and sometimes they are of poor quality. However our motorbike guides are highly experiences and very professional drivers who have done this trip countless times. They can guarantee your safety and let you enjoy a great experience without any worries.
It is possible to drive the Ha Giang loop yourself by motorbike, however we only offer this to people who have a motorbike license with IDP. Ha Giang is not for unexperienced drivers without a license and it is also illegal to drive without the right driving papers, meaning that the police can stop you and not let you continue.
But we can assure you that riding on the back of a motorcycle is just as much fun, as you don’t have the stress of driving on these roads or being stopped by the police. This gives you more freedom to look around and enjoy all the beautiful views.
If you choose the car option, a suitcase is no problem. If you opt for going on the back of the motorcycle, it is more convenient to use a smaller bag or backpack.
Yes it is no problem to leave your suitcase. We have a space available to store things in Ha Giang City (the starting and end point of the Ha Giang Loop). Also most hotels in Hanoi have the option to leave your belongings behind if you choose to return there.
Ha Giang is not as developed for tourism as other parts of Vietnam, such as Sapa. This means that you will mostly stay in a basic hotel or simple homestay. Homestay will be a authentic experience. Hotel rooms are not luxury, but clean and always private bathroom.
Minimum age guidelines exist, but it is more important that children are confident and fit on the back of the bike. Contact us for more information.
You can talk to the guide if you want to change something in the Ha Giang loop. The guide can change the plan within the possibilities of time, weather and distance.
Ha Giang is the most impressive region in Vietnam. Here you will find the most beautiful mountains and the most authentic minority villages. You’ll regret going not long enough here; the longer the better. But Ha Giang is not developed for tourism, so this also means that accommodations and restaurants are more basic. This gives a more authentic feel, but can also take some people out of their comfort zone.
