Traveler reviews
The experience
The day starts with a ride up the Hai Van Pass, one of central Vietnam's most striking coastal routes, with stops to take in the views from the top looking back toward Hue or forward to Da Nang. You'll swim at a beach stop partway through the route, then move on to Marble Mountains for trekking and exploration of the site. Lunch is included, as is protective gear, pads for the riding sections, and coffee or tea.
Marble Mountains is the main trekking destination, where you walk and explore the landscape at your own pace with your guide. The combination of riding, swimming and trekking means the day mixes movement across different terrain and activity types rather than staying in one place. An English-speaking guide leads throughout, and the itinerary is built around what you actually do, not a series of lookout stops, but hands-on time in the water and on foot.
The route ends in either Hoi An or Da Nang depending on which direction you choose. Hotel pickup is included, so you don't arrange transport to the start. Entrance fees to Marble Mountains are covered. The operator, Motorvina Travel, holds a full inbound tour license and has been running trips in the region for five years.
Is this one for you?The English-speaking guide means you follow the commentary and the route without a language barrier, and the mix of riding, swimming and trekking suits travelers who want to move between different activities rather than spend the day in one place.
