After lunch, we have a flat and very scenic ride to Hoi An. It is just a short distance to the Marble Mountains, an outcrop of five rocks said to represent the five elements, (Wood, Water, Metal, Fire, and Earth). There will be plenty of well-earned breaks along the way to take in the views, snap some photos, and rehydrate. 

After the rewarding vistas on the cycle in, you’ll also be spoiled with the town of Hoi An – with lantern-lit streets, vibrant markets, skilled tailors, artisan shops, ancient houses, colourful temples and beautiful smiles, it’s a Vietnamese wonderland.

The terrain is gently rolling, with beautiful views of the highland foothills. We pass a mix of tribal and Viet villages. Ubiquitous buffalos and barefoot children trot across your trail. Soon, we loop back to the main highway with a small climb and descent to finish the ride. Our minivan will transfer us about one hour to Tuy Hoa, one of the most rural regions in Vietnam.

Tuy Hoa isn’t on the radar, and perhaps that is enough to attract some curious travellers. Finding yourself the only foreign visitor in a little visited destination can be memorable in itself.
