Can anyone recommend the most interesting 2 or 3 day cycle in Vietnam?

This link on Lonely Planet provides a cycling specialty group in VietNam (one of my favorite places). It might be worth calling or emailing them to see/hear their recommendations. It used to be rather difficult to travel freely in-country. Peter's method of basing yourself in one place seems quite practical.

If you are going up north, think about going out to HaLong Bay. It's amazing. If you go out on a boat tour, don't go on a large boat. too impersonal and staged.

Good journey.

I don't know about 'supported trips' but I did many day trips by bike in Vietnam. One I really enjoyed was around Ninh Binh in North Vietnam, two and a half hours by bus south of Hanoi.

We based ourselves in Ninh Binh and rented bikes to explore the surrounding sites:

  • Tam Coc, beautiful limestone cliffs surrounded by rice paddies.
  • Trang An Grottoes
  • Cuc Phuong National Park
  • Some nice temples a little further south which I can't recall the name of.

The area is flat and rural and just cycling around in the countryside was a lot of fun.
