This loop tour was super nice—full of good energy, fun, laughter, good food, and amazing views! The drivers are really kind and caring. Iguor, the main tour guide, was so full of energy, knowledgeable, super fun, and good at taking pictures!
It was also well-organized. They keep you posted by WhatsApp for pick-up and drop-off, and during the tour, the program is laid out every day and adapted depending on the weather, how tired the group is, etc.
They always make sure to take you to authentic routes, not always the touristy ones.
I highly recommend this tour in particular!!

Ha Giang has quickly become one of our favourite experiences - beautiful views, wonderful people and just a liberating experience on the motorbikes. Experienced a minor hiccup with the pickup in Hanoi but our host quickly recovered and the rest of the trip was perfect. Camp site was so nice and the home-stays were all great too!!

It was absolutely fantastic.
I arrived early at the homestay in ha Giang and was offered to stay overnight which was perfect.
In the morning Long , told me that I was the only one who booked the tour (i was there very spontaneously and I think at the beginning of the off season - so he put me in a group with a friend of his. The itinerary stayed the same but he told me the homesatys could be different.
In the end I was with a couple so we were 3 people and 6 people in total. The easy drivers were so nice and funny and the people from the other group were fantastic.
Heads up: it gets bumpy , you s it a lot on a bike so you might get a little sore and your butts gonna hurt a little , might take a cushion or something with you if possible ;)
The tour was really really really nice! Stunning views, we went past some
Of the crowded pit stops and took a coffee or water at less crowded places , we swam in a river and a cave , we drove on a little path that’s for sure not on google maps (as advertised) and through beautiful villages and it felt like the tour really was off the beaten path!
The first homestay was breathtaking , really nice and the food overall was good as well. The second homestay was not really nice , due to overbooking by some other companies there were no rooms left for us so we had to stay somewhere else. Tbh not really nice , but I think that’s not their fault. Was fine for the night. The experiences made up for it. Like for real, the scenery and landscapes are unreal , and everything else went smoothly!
So I highly recommend it!
After the tour I was coming back to dragon home (the local organizer - his names Long)
Was offered a shower and he helped me book me a bus back to Hanoi (not included in the 3D2N package) including a transfer to the bus station.
Overall , I had three awesome days , unbelievable views and landscapes and I can highly recommend the tour and experiencing this part of Vietnam like this - everybody should do this at least one time in their life.

What an adventure with the Dragon team! They made sure we were all safe, but more than that, they really looked after us. Vanh, our amazing leader and driver, was so welcoming! He shared so much about the area, it felt like we were exploring with a friend. And I loved that it was a peaceful trip – no crazy party scene, just good company and beautiful scenery

One of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time. It’s liberating, this tour.
I booked the tour + round trip bus.
Travelled solo, realise I got the tour dates wrong when I was already at the bus station ready to depart from Hanoi to Hagiang, got help from the Dragon team, everything via text. Long (bossman) of the team was responsive and immediately changed my bus date earlier, he also shifted my tour dates earlier to accommodate to my mistake. Grateful!
Also for over thinkers like myself, here are a few things I wish someone told me before going on the tour. I did this in the last week of March:
1. Unlike what you watch on YouTube, this tour is a small tour. I’ve asked the team and they mentioned that the fleet size usually doesn’t go beyond 6. The tour I was on was 6, it’s a comfortable amount.
2. Homestay was good by their standards, I’ve got no complaints. Basic necessities were provided. I bunked with a fellow traveller. Just two of us, and an ensuite toilet.
3. Food was great, you’d be sharing about 8-9 dishes tgt with your group (excluding drivers). Drinks are provided only for lunch.
4. Bring cash along with you! For coffee during the pitstops they make. And beer in the evening. A coffee would cost about 30-40k viet dong, and 20-35k for beer.
5. The day typically starts at 9am after breakfast, and ends at 4pm. We explored the city, and I really recommend this. The locals are very friendly and you see them just living their lives.
6. Our motorbike riders were constantly looking out for us, making sure we’re okay and comfortable. Can get goofy and that’s how we all have fun! They are also safe drivers so don’t worry. It’ll be a good time.
7. Be ready to get a little sore after sitting on the bike. The trick is to relax and not tense up. Honestly, you don’t always have to hold on to something, it’s pretty stable for most parts!
Just book this trip already. It’s a cheaper alternative to i.e. NZ/Aussie/US road trips. Besides you’re on a motorbike, there’s nothing between you and nature.

Wow I don’t know what I want to start off! Let’s me say it was one of the best things I’ve decided to do. Well, my trip was a bit different than most people. I started the trip without a group so I kind of have a private trip. The first night I stayed at Ha Giang Eco Stone House. It was so beautiful! Family is so friendly the house is cozy and lovely. The first road trip I did the most tourists things but the time my guide took me to visit. It was no one there so it like a private trip. The night, I stayed in Toong Homestay, omg it was amazing place. What a view! Small village but full of love and simple life. Next day, it was a slow morning and meet the group at launch time. I believe the town call Yen Minh, it’s definitely my favorite restaurant so far of the trip. After, meeting the group we drove to the camping site. The road to get there was not easy so don’t be surprised but the view it worth every bit of it. Hotpot night is a must for the cold weather and a cool place. Morning of the view and kayaking was beautiful. I spent my morning there and then kind of finished up the rest of the trip. The road was misty very misty, and the ride was freezing cold. In the end I love it!
For whoever is looking for the perfect trip like this, please see my suggestion:
- Be prepared for the cold and wet conditions.
- Pack light, but make sure you have your jacket, pants (winter pants or raincoat).
- Have gloves with you
- Take some rest a long the way
- Your butt is going to hurt so much but it will get better when you see the view.

Amazing trip. Ha Giang is absolutely memorable and mystifying. Ha Giang, like the rest of Vietnam is full of surprises. One minute you're observing a Hmong lady crossing the road with a basket full of sticks, the next you're dancing in the city square at night with a bunch of strangers around a bonfire. The blokes from Ha Giang Expeditions are top notched. They go above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We were well fed and spoiled. Super comfy rooms, expected to rough it out at the campsite but that was more like glamping. An absolute blast and I will be back to see Ha Giang in a different season.

We were very well looked after and had an amazing 3 days on the Ha Giang Loop.
