Full Itinerary

Escape the bustling streets of Hoi An and embark on a memorable journey through the timeless beauty of Vietnam's countryside. After breakfast, set off on a leisurely ride along quiet village lanes, weaving through peaceful farming communities, emerald-green rice paddies, and family-run vegetable gardens. Along the way, wave to cheerful children cycling to school and experience the genuine warmth and hospitality of rural Vietnamese life.

Continue your ride across the river by local ferry before pedaling through vibrant villages, passing bustling local markets and the historic railway. From here, board the support vehicle for a comfortable transfer to the magnificent My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in a lush valley surrounded by forested hills.

An electric shuttle takes you into the heart of this remarkable archaeological treasure. Once the spiritual and political center of the ancient Champa Kingdom, My Son is home to one of Southeast Asia's most significant collections of Hindu temple ruins. Wander among centuries-old brick towers, admire intricate stone carvings, and discover the fascinating history and culture of this extraordinary heritage site.

After exploring the sanctuary, enjoy a delicious local lunch before continuing by support vehicle to the riverside dock. There, board a traditional private wooden boat for a relaxing 1.5-hour cruise along the Thu Bon River. Drift past tranquil fishing villages, lush riverbanks, and daily life unfolding on the water as you make your scenic return to the enchanting Ancient Town of Hoi An—bringing an unforgettable day of cycling, culture, history, and river cruising to a perfect close.
