The tour also covers must see attractions in Hanoi and Ninh Binh – the terrestrial Halong. After a bicycle amongst stunning terraced rice fields in the mountainous areas, a cruise in Halong Bay will complete the trip with magical moment of enchantment and relaxation. The mountains here are transformed into a photogenic landscape. The road is steeper and we end up to Sapa for more diverse ethnic minorities, including the Red Dao and Black Hmong. Again the picturesque terraced paddies, some considered the best of Vietnam, will keep heating your camera. We arrive in Sapa the trekking center of Vietnam, then back to Hanoi and visit Halong Bay, one of the most magnificent destinations on earth. Aboard our boat, we enjoy a few days of enchanting relaxation amidst magical setting of the bay. The exquisite seafood makes the cruise even more festive..This tour brings great challenges and rewards for professional cyclists, a great opportunity to explore the North Vietnam in depth, only with two wheels. Spectacular scenery, amazingly diverse ethnic culture and no sign of other tourists, a lot to be excited about. And especially, not everyone can do it.
