Route 1: The Mountains

Time

14 to 21 days

Distance

2178km
This route stays inland from Hoi An to Dalat through the central highlands. It offers quieter roads with incredible mountain views. If you aren’t looking for beaches and want to avoid the more touristy areas, then this is a good option for you.

Route 2: The Beaches

Time

14 to 21 days

Distance

2094km
This route sticks to the coast from Hoi An to Nha Trang then comes inland to Dalat. Through this route you’ll get to visit some nice beach towns such as Quang Ngai and Quy Nhon. Quy Nhon is less touristy than other beach towns, and has some stunning beaches. While Nha Trang is a large tourist town. If you want to see the beaches that Vietnam has to offer, this is best route for you but it comes at the expense of having a busier road to follow.

Route 3: The Beaches & Mountains

Time

14 to 21 days

Distance

2344km
This is the most suitable route for most people but takes at least 1 day more than the 2 above. This route heads inland but at Pleiku goes to the coast on the QL19. The benefit of this route is that you get to see the stunning beach at Quy Nhon and take a more scenic route from Dalat to Nha Trang. So if you can afford an extra day and want the best of the beaches and the mountains, then this is the best route for you.

Route 4: The Lesser Known Mountains & Beaches

Time

21+ days

Distance

2344km
This is the longest route we recommend for Hanoi – HCMC. It covers more of the central highlands as well as some of the beaches. There is more stops in and rides in the rural and less touristy areas of the South and Centre of Vietnam. If you have the time and want to see the less touristy areas this is a great option.
