PLATYPUS NORTH VIETNAM GUIDED MOTORCYCLE TOUR

Dear friends

Platypus is delighted to present our next North Vietnam motorcycle tour (ride #14) from 23 October to 6 November 2024, following 13 most enjoyable rides over the past 10 years or so.

 

Our rides are on modern Honda 150 c.c. off-road machines most suitable to the terrain. The lead rider is the managing director of our local ride partner, Asian Lotus Tours, with a back-up dual cab utility driven by a motorcycle mechanic carrying riders’ gear, supplies for tea and coffee breaks plus any rider who may want a break (and their bike).

 

The ride, as always, is away from highways, often off the beaten tracks, making for an enjoyable experience mingling with colourful locals whenever possible. Detours and distractions are embraced wherever possible, giving riders an experience normal guided tours miss out on. The emphasis is on a leisurely tour of great places and fabulous country folk. The ride ends at Halong Bay, with a couple of relaxing days on Cat Ba Island to follow.

 

We have room for 15 more motorcycle riders and 2 passengers in the back-up vehicle (and can organize another back-up vehicle if necessary). Pillion riders can be accommodated if the rider is suitably experienced. Accommodation is a mixture of hotels and ethnic minority homestays with a flash of flash should circumstances permit.

Indications are that this next ride will sell out. We can hold spots for you for 2 weeks if you contact us indicating your group numbers. Please forward this email to family and friends who may be interested in this tour.

 

Best wishes
