The Ha Giang Loop is fast becoming one of Vietnam’s must-visit destinations – and it’s
easy to see why. With its dramatic mountain passes, towering limestone peaks, emerald
rice terraces, and rich ethnic minority cultures, the loop offers a raw, unforgettable
adventure through Vietnam’s far north.
For those who want freedom with flexibility, our Ride & Relax option blends the thrill of
motorbiking with the comfort of a custom-built support van. Ride the stretches that excite you
most – then switch to the van when you want to rest, stay cool, or simply take in the views
from a spacious, air-conditioned seat.
Every twist of the throttle reveals a new valley, a hidden waterfall, or a chance to meet local
villagers, while the van ensures you travel stress-free with room for bikes, luggage, and
all the comforts you need.
From the epic Ma Pi Leng Pass to quiet, remote highland hamlets, you’ll experience the wild
spirit of Ha Giang without giving up comfort. Our 5-seat van is ideal for couples, families, or
small groups who want the best of both worlds: adventure when you want it, relaxation
when you need it.
While the loop can be completed in 3 days, we recommend 4 or 5 to truly connect with the
landscapes and culture. For the ultimate road trip, our 6-Day Complete Northern
Highlands Tour extends into Bac Kan, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang, combining Ha
Giang’s raw beauty with waterfalls, lakes, and valleys that few travelers ever reach.
Who This Tour Is Perfect For
Our Ride & Relax option is perfect for travelers who want the thrill of riding the Ha
Giang Loop without the pressure of doing it all by motorbike. It’s a flexible, comfort-first way to explore.

They were super friendly, super accommodating, and they recommended routes and places to stay!
I 100% recommend them.
Thank you, Phong. Don't hesitate to visit Style Motorbikes.
Style Motorbikes has one of the best package deals for guided tours, including guide, bike, accommodation and meals.
Our Guide knew the best spots and pathes off the normal track. Street, dirt road, back alleys, riding in the dark and with rain, everything was included. I would say that the people without motorcycle licence now have earned it by default.
I booked very spontaneous and even then everything was organised perfectly .
The employees are very friendly and professional.
Would definitely recommend and do again, thanks phong ( and style motorbikes)
Everything was ver
The homestay in Ha Giang is great to start from and also to end of the tour. Everybody in the staff is so loving, I can tell they love their jobs.
Muchas gracias Tru, Hong y Tony, son unos conductores estupendos.
I´ll be back for round 3! You can never get enough northern Vietnam motorcycling tours
Three 60-year-olds chose a jeep for our adventure – and what a great decision that was! We spent most of the four days relaxing in the open-top vehicle, soaking in vista after stunning vista. Each landscape seemed to outdo the last.
Our loop was done in reverse, which meant we arrived at every special viewpoint alone – no crowds to battle or share with. It made the experience feel even more personal.
Everything was impressively well-organised. The company arranged our bus tickets and transfers, and it all worked like clockwork. The Style base in Ha Giang was a great place to start and finish – with dorm rooms, showers, cold drinks, and a delicious bao bun breakfast spot right next door.
Accommodation throughout the trip was excellent – clean, comfortable, and full of charm. The first night was especially memorable: somehow, in the middle of nowhere, we were spoiled with a beautiful big swimming pool. It was completely unexpected and added a touch of luxury to an already stunning location.
We had two fantastic guides: Seamus and Duy. Duy was a safe, careful driver – hugely experienced on these roads. He navigated the skinny, goat-track-like routes as if he were cruising down a motorway. It was kind of dangerous, definitely exhilarating, and we always felt in good hands.
Duy also chose superb food stops along the way – we enjoyed many local delicacies and ate far too much! Every meal was an experience in itself.
Seamus was scoping out new routes for the company and was an absolute wealth of knowledge – from Vietnam’s history to local food and the best beers. We learned so much and laughed a lot.
The tour even took us right up to the Chinese border fence – which was both weird and intriguing. Standing there, staring into another country, we couldn’t help but wonder who might be looking back at us. Along the way, we passed through sweeping corn fields, deep forest, and patchworks of rice paddies – the landscape shifting depending on the lie of the land. The steepness of the slopes where locals plant their crops was staggering and humbling to witness.
Thanks for an unforgettable trip
