Da Lat to Nha Trang Easy Rider Motorbike Tour with Guide

Summary

Central Highlands Motorbike Adventure with Local Experiences

This three-day Easy Rider motorbike tour takes you from Da Lat to Nha Trang with local guides leading the way. Sip strong coffee at plantations, share rice wine with families, swim beneath waterfalls (or watch them from scenic temples), and cruise Lak Lake by canoe—all with hotel pickup included. It’s an adventure packed with flavors and moments you’ll replay long after you’re home.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway down that winding road out of Da Lat when the air changed—cooler, sharper, and full of that earthy smell you only get in the highlands after rain. Our guide, Tuan, pulled over by a coffee plantation and grinned, “You try?” I nodded, not really sure what to expect. The Robusta was strong enough to wake up my bones, but honestly it was the homemade rice wine at the next stop that nearly knocked me sideways. There’s something about drinking with a local family in their kitchen—just laughter bouncing off the walls and that sweet scent of fermenting rice everywhere.

The ride itself—well, it’s not always smooth. Sometimes we’d hit a patch where the road just disappeared into red dust and wildflowers. We stopped at Elephant Waterfall (couldn’t get right up close since it’s closed off now), but from Linh An temple above, you could still hear the roar and see mist curling through the trees. Tuan pointed out the Lady Buddha statue—74 meters high—and told us stories about Buddhist monks who used to meditate here for days. I still think about how quiet it felt standing there, just wind tugging at my jacket and prayer flags snapping overhead.

Next morning was early—like 6am early—for a dug-out canoe ride on Lak Lake. The water was glassy except for our paddles dipping in and out; somewhere nearby a rooster crowed and smoke drifted from breakfast fires in the M’nong village. Later we swam under Dray Sap waterfall (cold as anything), picnicked on fresh chicken baguettes from a market stall, then rode through mushroom farms and rubber plantations before finally hitting Nha Trang by late afternoon. Three days went fast but every bit felt real—mud on my boots, sugarcane juice sticky on my hands, helmet hair and all.
