From Hanoi: 3 days Ha Giang Superior Tour
Location: Dong Bac, Vietnam
Country: Vietnam
Rating: 4.9
Price: $361 per person
Supplier: BORDERLANDS TOURS
A quick glance at this tour reveals a chance to explore one of Vietnam’s most captivating northern regions—Ha Giang—through a thoughtfully curated 3-day journey. You’ll visit highlights like the Hmong Palace and take a scenic boat ride on the Nho Que River, all while staying in superior accommodations that ensure comfort after days packed with adventure. The tour offers a choice between motorcycle rides (easyriders) or private car transport, which makes it adaptable whether you’re seeking thrill or comfort.
We love that this experience is designed with families in mind—all meals are included, and extras like car seats and milk warmers help keep young travelers happy and cared for. The fact that you’ll have an English-speaking guide throughout means you’ll get insights into local culture without feeling lost in translation. Plus, the experienced guides add a layer of safety and authenticity that’s often missing in more hurried tours.
One thing to consider is that this tour is not suitable for travelers over 95 years old—which makes sense, given the physical demands of exploring remote areas. Also, if you’re not comfortable with motorcycles or biking, the private car option might be more appealing. Overall, it’s a great fit for families with children and anyone eager to experience Ha Giang’s stunning landscapes and cultural richness at a relaxed pace.
If you’re after a memorable, well-rounded adventure that balances comfort, culture, and scenery, this tour could be an excellent choice. It’s especially suitable for those who want to explore Vietnam’s north with a knowledgeable guide and flexible transportation, without sacrificing comfort or authenticity.

Why This Tour Stands Out

Traveling through northern Vietnam often means dealing with tricky logistics—long drives, rough roads, or less-than-pleasant stays. This tour aims to smooth out those rough edges. With superior accommodations in strategic locations, you’re guaranteed a good night’s sleep and a chance to rest properly before each day’s adventures.
The choice of transportation is a big plus. Whether you want the thrill of a motorcycle easyrider or prefer the comfort of a private vehicle, the tour adapts to your family’s comfort level. We loved the flexibility, especially seeing reviews that mention how the easyrider experience offers a closer connection to the landscape. Imagine gliding along mountain roads with the wind in your hair, or relaxing in a car while taking in panoramic views—your choice.
The expert guides are another highlight. With years of experience in Ha Giang, guides like Tu or Linh (common names in reviews) bring stories and insights into local culture, making each stop more meaningful. We appreciated how guides seem attentive to the needs of families, ensuring things like car seats or child-friendly meals are provided.
