You’d never get me on a motorcycle at home. But here in Vietnam there are more motorbikes than cars, so it feels much safer. It’s the most common mode of travel.

We needed a ride from Hue to Hoi An (about 3 hours by car) and we heard from some other travelers they had done the pass on motor bike over the Hai Van Pass (the highest pass in all of Vietnam) & said it was nice.

We went with a tour guide company called www.HueEasyRiders.com, they take people on a tour, stopping at destinations along the way so the usual 3.5 hour motorbike ride takes all day from 8a.m. to 4p.m. Here’s a clip of us first meeting with the Hue Easy Riders:

One of our stops along the way to Hoi An was at a place called Elephant Springs, an amazing spot. It’s a hidden trek, we wondered where they were taking us at first! But you have to trust your guides and go with the flow. We took a dip in the water, it was cool & refreshing. Here’s a few pics:

After resting and refreshing here for about an hour or so, we resumed our trek. Here are some pics from the pass itself, the scenery was breathtaking:

We finally made it to the other side, tired after a long day, but it was the best way for us to see the sights and also make our destination in Hoi An. Multi-tasking at its best! 🙂

The ride itself was very safe, the Easy Riders went easy on the bumps and curves, and we felt safe the entire way. We highly recommend this trip for anyone coming this way. Our guides, Loc & Nho were wonderful, and they were very passionate about showing us their country. Hoi An w Easy Riders, Loc & Nho
