Full description

This is a 12-day experience from Ho Chi Minh City, built around Meet up and Depart, Ride through rural roads and Have lunch. It is run by VIETNAM ADVENTURE COMPANY LIMITED, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers 1 CRF300L with Gasoline, 1 English Speaking Guide, 1 Mechanic as a Sweeper, Pick up & Drop off at Airport and 1 Truck for taking care of luggage. It does not cover Personal insurance, Air ticket, Beer and Personal expenses and other expenses not described in the, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

VIETNAM ADVENTURE COMPANY LIMITED sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with VIETNAM ADVENTURE COMPANY LIMITED before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
