About This Tour
A circular ride through the heart of the Central Highlands — remote reservoirs, a lakeside longhouse stay, and 550 km of the best roads in Vietnam.
Route & Itinerary
Dalat to Ta Dung Lake
We leave Dalat and head south-west toward Ta Dung Lake — a remote reservoir in the middle of a national park, surrounded by forested hills. The route passes coffee and pepper plantations and isolated minority villages. Overnight at Ta Dung.
Ta Dung Lake to Lak Lake
From Ta Dung we push east toward Lak Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake in the Central Highlands. The landscape is wide open and dramatic. We overnight in a traditional M'Nong longhouse on the lakeshore — one of the most memorable nights on any tour we run.
Lak Lake back to Dalat
After an optional morning canoe on the lake, we loop back south and west to Dalat, completing the circle. The return takes different roads, offering fresh scenery and more hidden stops. Drop-off at your hotel in the afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need motorcycle experience?
No. Most travellers ride as a passenger behind an experienced local guide — no licence or experience needed. If you'd rather self-drive, you'll need to be a confident rider (see below).
Do I need a motorcycle licence?
Only for self-drive. To legally ride yourself in Vietnam you should hold a valid motorcycle licence with the appropriate international permit. As a passenger, no licence is required.
Can I bring my luggage?
Yes. On multi-day tours your main luggage is carried for you; you ride with a small day bag. Let your guide know if you have a large bag.
What happens if it rains?
Tours run in light rain with provided rain gear, and your guide adjusts the route for safety. In case of severe weather your guide will adapt the plan with you.
What insurance is included?
Every tour includes motorbike insurance. This does not replace personal travel or medical insurance, which we strongly recommend you arrange before your trip.
What happens if I cancel?
Your 20% deposit secures your booking request. If the local operator cannot accept your booking, the deposit is refunded in full within 72 hours. See our cancellation policy for full details.
How do I pay the remaining 80% in cash?
The balance is paid to your guide in Vietnamese dong when you meet at the start of the tour. Dalat has plenty of ATMs, but most cap each withdrawal at a few million dong — less than the balance on a multi-day tour — so allow for more than one withdrawal, or bring currency to exchange. Your guide can point you to the nearest machine or exchange if you need one.
