MOTORCYCLE AND 4x4 GUIDED TOURS & ADVENTURES
Offroad Vietnam offers many types of guided on and off road adventures on motorcycles, motorbikes and 4x4 vehicles and anything that can go off road, off the beaten tracks or off the tourist trails. We are not offering extreme off-roading holidays and Offroad Vietnam is simply our trade name. Only intermediate and experienced riders are recommended to join our trip(s). Beginners or novice riders with little riding experiences can pay a riding lesson (30$US) in Hanoi before leaving. Most of our rides are private and customized (some tours are strictly private while many are open for other riders to tag along), we don't have pre-scheduled trips. Our tour library features more than 150 itineraries and the route map is very useful for you in deciding where to ride in Vietnam.

The most popular adventures customers book with us are guided on and off-road motorcycle rides. We are the first and original company in North Vietnam offering voyages exclusively on Japanese Honda motorcycles (no Suzuki, no Yamaha, no Kawasaki and of course no generic Chinese Honda or Russian Minsk motorcycles).

We own all touring bikes, maintain them ourselves and don't use rental bikes from any company. This is very important and we are different with most of the touring companies who use rental bikes which are ridden by riders of different riding levels and are usually older or lower in quality. Every bike has a metal tank so tank bags are good. Below are bikes we provide on guided tours (click to enlarge).

The size of a group is small and we do need special reservations for this type of adventure. Unfortunately, we are not offering easy-riders or motorcycle-taxi-driver rides. Prices reflect the quality of service and high standards that our customers expect. If you care about prices, we are not the cheapest but if you care about price/value balance then we are definitely the best (see more at review pages). As a way to say "thank you", we won't ask deposit for returning and regular customers and you definitely get a discount on your next tour(s). A deposit is required for first time customers only and if you want to check out how trustworthy we are, contact these references, a very reliable source you can rely on.

MOTORCYCLE, MOTORBIKE & SCOOTER RENTALS IN HANOI
Enduro bikes, motorcycles and riding gear are available for independent (self guided) riders to hire on daily basis. Due to limited bike availabilities and high taxes, these bikes are between six to thirteen years old and we've been trying to keep them in good working conditions. We provide 90% fully guided tours and only 10% rentals (unguided trips) so we are likely booked out quite early before. All rentals must be reserved and paid before you pick up the bike(s). We have not offered one-way rentals or guide hire yet because we have only one office in Hanoi. Many clients asked if we could deliver or collect bike(s) in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City - HCMC) and rode the same route like "Top Gear Vietnam Special" show and we are sorry to say "no". All rentals start and end in Hanoi.

Moped scooters and fully automatic scooters are only available for expats working in Hanoi on monthly basis (rates advertised are monthly and with limited mileage of maximum 1,500km/month). These scooters are in very new conditions (usually less than 30,000km odo and most importantly no crap bikes), good for riding in the cities only, not suitable for long distance touring. They are between brand-new to three years old. These latest available models help minimize maintenance and maximize the pleasure of riding. Here are some models we hire.

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
1. Insurance: Purchasing an insurance policy can take a long time and is a real headache. BaoViet - Vietnam National Insurance Company - is selling BaoViet Medicare Travel Plan from mid-2008 and we can help you to buy their package here. No motorcycle driving licence is required. If you want to buy insurance from a foreign company, here are some handy links:
- For a competitive motorcycle insurance quote in the UK try out Carole Nash for you insurance needs.
- Compare UK bike insurance.
- Bennetts Motorbike Insurance.

2. Hotel rooms and transfers in Hanoi: We work with only two hotels who are very close to our office. They are friendly and honest. Airport transfers can also be arranged. For more details, please click here

3. Vietnam visa: We would recommend that you check on your countries visa requirements and if required apply for a visa in your country of residence before your arrival in Vietnam. You may however be able to get it at Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh airport, but not possible if you arrive by land. The customs will show you a travel agent at the airport who then "sells" you a visa for 135.00 USD (one hundred thirty five United States Dollars)! You need 4 passport photos or you can have them for two USD. The whole process takes 45 minutes. Since January 2008, we have been providing visa approval letter service (20.00 USD/person for the letter) and all you have to do are send us some information, wait to receive the letter (usually after three working days), then show the letter and get the stamp on arrival at one of Vietnam's three international airports in Hanoi, Danang or Ho Chi Minh City (25.00 USD/person for the stamp).
