VIETNAM MOTORCYCLE TOURS, MOTORBIKE ADVENTURES AND SCOOTER RENTALS IN HANOI
Welcome to the official homepage of Hidden Vietnam Motorcycle Tours, a professional off-road motorbike tour operator based in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam.
For Vietnam’s Covid-19 updates, you can check at this link. In fact, our team is always available even Vietnam tourism is hard hit by this pandemic.
Many Vietnam motorbike tours between 2020 and 2022 were cancelled or suspended. The good news is the Vietnamese border is officially open from March 15th 2022, so let’s get ready and apply for a visa now!
We currently offer three guided off-road Vietnam motorcycle tours below. These tours work with different budgets, timing, and duration. While riding with us, you will discover a hidden Vietnam that is lesser-known between local riders and tourists to Vietnam.
Challenging Off-road Motorbike Tours
These tours are recommended for riders ưith intermediate and experienced levels. We suggest either Honda XR150L, Honda CRF150L or the larger Honda CRF250L. Ride where you want to see and experience a lesser-known Vietnam away from the tourist trails!
Fantastic Motorcycle Tours Of Vietnam
Tours designed for riders with some riding experience (novice) and intermediate bikers. The best motorbikes are either the manual 150cc Honda XR150L or touring scooter Honda Winner 150cc. A bit off-road riding is possible and you will see Vietnam without meeting many tourists!
Easy Motor-Scooter Tours From Hanoi
Specially designed for beginners and novice riders or those who want to ride like local people and at a slow pace. We suggest using either 110cc semi-automatic or 110/125cc fully automatic scooters. Best for sealed and secondary roads in low mountain areas. There are some 50cc scooters available if you worry about a license. However, the power that a 50cc scooter offers is very low, not enough to ride up any steep hill or mountain road.
VIETNAM MOTORCYCLE TOURS ITINERARIES
If you want to join one of our existing Vietnam motorcycle tours with places still available please follow this link. We also offer a motorbike driving (riding) lesson for people who have no or little motorcycle riding skills but want to join us. After this 1-2 hours lesson, you will feel much more confident to flow in the Vietnamese traffic river. The cost is 30$US/person.
We’ve been providing Vietnam motorcycle tours and rentals for years. Over time, we have designed many different motorcycle itineraries that cater to any riding experience and tempo you prefer. You can experience adventures on two wheels on manual bikes, dirt bikes, or even scooters. In fact, there is no need to follow any set itinerary because you will decide with the guide for any better change you think.

Northwest Vietnam Motorcycle Tours
Northwest Vietnam is a very beautiful place but the roads are quite rough. There are more hill tribe people in this area than anywhere in Vietnam. Due to road works and landslides (in summer) and cold, misty weather (in winter), this motorbike adventure is best for intermediate and experienced riders.

Our Hanoi-based Motorbike Rental Business
Hanoi off-road motorbike, motorcycle & scooter hire (rentals)
Apart from offering Vietnam motorcycle tours above, Hidden Vietnam has been renting touring motorbikes and motor-scooters since 2006. Only Japanese Honda bikes are provided, 125cc or below are new or late models, 250cc are older due to taxes (new CRF250L costs about 10,000$US and we can’t do business at that nonsense price!?!). You can hire our bikes on the long term, mid-term or short term and rates will be advised when we agree on details.
Notes about rental bikes
Our business has been providing near new or latest models of scooters in Hanoi. In fact, we only provide genuine Honda products, no other brands, or Chinese fakes. Please take these details into account when you decide which bike to hire. Ask about bike model and year of manufacturing, don’t just look at prices. This is a really important factor for your successful Vietnam motorcycle tours. In general, our rates are not the cheapest but are competitive and the quality is among the best.
