Why sit on a sleeper bus when the road between Hoi An and Hue is one of the most beautiful in Vietnam? With an Easy Rider to Hue, you ride on the back of a motorbike with an experienced local driver, stopping at the Marble Mountains, the top of the Hai Van Pass, Lang Co Beach and a natural spring for a swim. Your luggage rides with you, and you arrive at your hotel in Hue at the end of the afternoon. It is transport and a day tour in one.
| Trip type | One-way motorbike tour with a driver (you ride pillion) |

| Route | Hoi An or Da Nang → Hue |

| Price | $52 (about 1,300,000 VND) per person |

Why Choose an Easy Rider Instead of the Bus?
- The views: Hai Van Pass, Son Tra Peninsula and Lang Co Bay, seen with your own eyes rather than through a bus window.
- Stops along the way: caves, beaches, a waterfall and a fishing village.
- Safety first: experienced riders who put your safety first, with protective gear and rain gear provided.
- Your luggage comes too: it is tied to the back of the bike, so you arrive in Hue ready to check in.
Easy Rider to Hue: Route and Stops
8:30 AM – Pick-up in Hoi An or Da Nang
Your Easy Rider collects you at your hotel or hostel. While your luggage is tied to the bike, you put on your protective gear, and off you go.
Marble Mountains
Five limestone and marble hills named after the five elements. Explore spectacular tunnels, caves and temples in Thuy Son (Water Mountain).
Hai Van Pass
The “Ocean Cloud Pass” is a 21-kilometre mountain road with stunning views of the sea. Once the border between ancient kingdoms, it is now one of the most famous rides in Vietnam. Stop at the top for a view back over the Da Nang coastline.
Lang Co Beach and lunch
White sand, clear blue water and mountains behind. Your rider can help you pick a local seafood dish for lunch (lunch is paid separately).
Elephant Springs
A small waterfall flowing into a cool natural pool, named after the large rocks shaped like elephants. Bring your swimsuit for a refreshing dip.
Cau Hai fishing village
Watch fishermen at work on the lagoon, part of the largest lagoon system in Southeast Asia.
Late afternoon – Arrive at your hotel in Hue

Easy Rider to Hue vs Bus vs Private Car
There are three common ways to travel from Hoi An to Hue. The sleeper bus is the cheapest but you see very little, and a private car is comfortable but usually takes the tunnel under the mountain. The Easy Rider to Hue is the only option that turns the journey itself into a day tour, with time to stop, swim, eat and take photos.
| Option | Best for | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| Easy Rider to Hue | Adventure, photos, solo travellers | Marble Mountains, Hai Van Pass, Lang Co, Elephant Springs, lagoon |
| Private car | Families, heavy luggage, comfort | Stops on request |
| Bus | Lowest budget | Mostly the highway |
Is the Easy Rider to Hue Safe?
Yes, as long as you ride with a professional. On the Easy Rider to Hue you sit on the back while an experienced, English-speaking rider drives, protective gear is provided and rain gear is included for wet days. The Hai Van Pass is a winding mountain road, so your rider keeps a steady pace and stops at the viewpoints rather than racing to the top.
What to pack for the Easy Rider to Hue
- Long trousers and closed shoes for riding
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a light jacket for the top of the pass
- Swimwear and a small towel for Elephant Springs
- Cash for lunch at Lang Co, which is not included
- A backpack or soft bag that is easy to strap to the bike
Who is the Easy Rider to Hue best for?
Solo travellers, couples and groups of friends who are moving on from Hoi An to Hue anyway and want to make the most of the travel day. Because your luggage travels with you, the Easy Rider to Hue replaces the transfer completely, so you arrive at your hotel in Hue with a camera full of photos instead of a day lost on the road.
Tip: book your Easy Rider to Hue at least a day in advance in the high season, and tell us the address of your hotel in Hue so your rider can drop you at the door.
