Da Lat motorcycle tour: Central Highlands loop with guide
Da Lat motorcycle tour: Central Highlands loop with guide★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (321)4dA four-day guided motorcycle tour from Da Lat loops through the Central Highlands, stopping at Dray Sap Falls, remote M'nong villages, Elephant Rock Mountain and tea farms along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Hotel stays, all fees and meals are included; the route covers 465 kilometers of mountain roads and jungle paths that regular tour buses do not reach.Is it for me?This tour takes four full days, which means you need to block that time in Da Lat and cannot split it across other activities. If you have only one or two days in the region, a shorter motorcycle ride would work better; if you have the time, the four-day loop reaches places—the Ho Chi Minh Trail, M'nong villages, Dray Sap waterfall—that day trips from Da Lat do not include.Free cancellationfromUS$ 360View ›
