While we delight in Hoi An's picturesque surrounds on the way to My Son, our means of travel is half the fun. We ride the back roads and hidden trails only locals know to escape the traffic and tourists, experiencing a truly authentic side of this fascinating country 

Please note: Due to the Annual TET holidays from January 20th to 26th January 2023, the Cycle My Son tour has a 25% surcharge. Our other Hoi An tours will be closed during these dates. 

TOUR ITINERARY

In town 

Cycling along small and quiet alleyways that are very pleasant to ride, we reach the riverfront of the historic district long before crowds descend on the city. Our guide will help you get your bearings in the center of town and point out the nearby historic sites. 

Countryside  

Crossing the river, we leave the city behind our wheels on our way to My Son, venturing off onto rural pathways accessible only to bikes and motorbikes. It's not long before we are pedaling through small villages, past family farms and rice fields, greeting friendly workers along our way. This is your best opportunity to glimpse authentic Vietnamese life. 

Depending on the season, we may pass rice, corn and even sunflower fields as we explore a very different landscape to that of the city. We'll hardly see any four-wheeled vehicles as we sneak through a network of shortcuts and connections that only locals would know. 

The Cham Ruins of My Son lie ahead. 

Snack Break & My Son ruins 

After replenishing our energy with a healthy snack of fresh fruit and local coffee or tea, it is a short transfer to the entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage site. New regulations require we park our bikes and board electric shuttle vans to the main ruins. 

The temples and towers of My Son were built by the Cham people, initially Hindu and later of Muslim faiths. The Cham Kingdom, once dominant in the region, was eventually conquered by the Vietnamese and Khmer. Descendants of the original tribes are now scattered throughout the region, mostly along inland waterways. This incredible site of ancient ruins is an exciting glimpse into Vietnam’s past. 

Transfer back to Hoi An 

A drive aboard our private van with a midway stop for a simple but delicious lunch of local noodles tops off a fun, informative half day tour. 

This ride is mainly on back alleyways, flat tracks and small roads - there are no hills so anyone who can reasonably ride a bike can do this tour. There are a few small sections on dirt trails where beginner riders will have to show some care.
