⭐️ INCREDIBLE ⭐️

This is such a unique experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough - you get the whole Ha Giang loop experience without the crowds or main tourist routes. 

The whole experience was incredibly well organised from start to finish, with the bonus of camping and kayaking in a completely secluded spot, something that isn’t even available with other tour options! All of the guides and drivers were so kind and friendly, and it’s a nice group size too. 

This tour is an absolute must if you’re in Vietnam - we had the best time ever!!

I highly recommend Dragon Team trip. What a great experience. Our drivers were both fun and safe. I would talk with the owner in advance and discuss itinerary options. I expected more people to be self driving but 100% easy rider is the way to go.

An amazing group of people — I felt genuinely looked after and in great company throughout the entire trip.
 The food was excellent, everything was run efficiently, and the route planning was spot on. Each destination was a fantastic location, carefully chosen and well thought through.
 The itinerary offered exactly the mix I was hoping for, with a great balance of experiences and something a little different from the usual.

Camping location was a highlight for me! 
 Thank you to the riders for there hard work and smiles throughout

Amazing experience!! Ali was an amazing guide and driver. Truly a trip I'll never forget. The views, the drives, the food, the accommodation, the drivers were all exceptional. Would recommend to all who are deciding which tour company to book the loop with.

We loved the 3D2N Ha Giang Loop experience that we booked with Dragon Dream! We stayed for one night at the homestay prior to the tour, the family is super kind! We ended up being the only two people on this specific tour. Our tour guides Bambi and Rang were amazing, we always felt very safe while driving &amp; enjoyed the paths off the typical track and the interesting stories they knew about the many stops along the way. Their company was entertaining and kind, it felt like driving with friends! The homestays on both nights were great too, we enjoyed the private-room-upgrade, the family style dinners, karaoke and happy water! We'll definitely recommend the tour to our families and friends and hope to be back one day!
