Upon arrival, hop on your comfortable, well-maintained bike and follow your knowledgeable local guide into a world of quiet backroads and village trails. Ride through rubber plantations, rice fields, passing farmers at work and families going about their daily lives. This is authentic southern Vietnamese countryside, far from the city crowds.
