Itinerary:
* Hoi An Motorbike Tour to Khe Sanh, Vinh Moc via A Luoi – BRIEF ITINERARY:
Day 1 : Hoi An Motorbike Tour to Khe Sanh, Vinh Moc via A Luoi: Hoi An Motorcycle Tours to Ba Hom village: Homestay at Co Tu Hilltribe’s Village
The route takes us away from the coast and into the hills, an area often inaccessible by normal car. As we wind into the mountains, we’ll come across ancient hcm trail motorbike tour ruins and famous American war sites, hopping out of our jeeps to snap photos and explore the tourist-free areas. At midday, we’ll reach Ba Hom, where our Co Tu hosts will welcome us to their village. Lunch will be served in the village and then we’ll venture further into the mountains with a light trek. The route crosses over the original Ho Chi Minh Trail and leads us to a therapeutic hot spring where we can swim and relax in the healing waters.
This evening, our hosts prepare a traditional Co-Tu feast. Dining in the village on the local cuisine and sleeping in their stilted houses gives us the rare chance to experience firsthand the traditions of Vietnam’s ethnic minority people. This is a true taste of authentic hilltribe culture—an experience that is increasingly rare to find.

Optional Abseiling at Marble Mountain on day 1:
We walk up Marble Mountain into the rappelling area, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
The first rappel is a short walk from the practice area and enjoys a fantastic view of the ocean. This 22-meter line has great exposure, fantastic scenery and makes you feel like you are much higher than you actually are.
Then we do our final rappel: a monster 50-meter drop into a gaping hole so deep and dark that you can’t see the bottom. This fantastic cave rappel drops right out of the jungle and down into a temple chamber. Get ready for a full-on Tomb Raider experience!
