Your 11-day odyssey begins in the thousand-year-old capital of Hanoi. Upon arrival at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), your private chauffeur will escort you to your boutique adventure hotel in the Old Quarter. At 6 PM, join your expedition leader for a comprehensive safety briefing, technical gear check, and a welcome toast. If you arrive early, stretch your legs with a walk around the jade-colored Hoan Kiem Lake or dive into the city’s 2026 Michelin-rated street food scene to fuel up for the journey ahead.
Accommodation: Selected Adventure Hotel, Hanoi.
Leave the city behind as we board our private express bus for a 5-hour journey toward the Hoang Lien Son mountain range. As the elevation rises, watch the landscape transform from flat deltas to towering peaks. After a high-altitude lunch in Sapa, meet your local H’mong guide for an introductory walk to get acclimated to the crisp mountain air. Tonight, enjoy a welcome mountain dinner featuring local “Thang Co” or sturgeon hotpot, preparing your body for the trek ahead.
Accommodation: Selected Mountain Hotel, Sapa.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Embark on a 12 km (7.5 mi) trek into the heart of the national park. This is an immersion into the “intangible heritage” of the mountains; navigate the vertigo-inducing ridgelines of the Muong Hoa Valley, descending through the iconic terraced rice fields of Lao Chai and Ta Van. Tonight, stay with a Giay ethnic family in an authentic village homestay, complete with a traditional herbal foot bath to soothe trekking muscles.
Accommodation: Village Homestay, Ta Van.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Conclude your mountain circuit with a final morning trek to Su Pan Village, a remote outpost offering expansive panoramic views of the Tonkinese Alps. After a farewell lunch with your mountain guides, board our private express bus back to Hanoi. Arriving in the late afternoon, use this evening to “re-urbanize”-perhaps a craft beer in the Old Quarter or a quiet dinner at a hidden French-colonial courtyard cafe.
Accommodation: Selected Adventure Hotel, Hanoi.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.
Explore the historical core of Hanoi on foot, visiting the Ho Chi Minh Complex and the 11th-century Temple of Literature. In the afternoon, we transition to two wheels. After a professional bike fitting, we take a 15 km (9 mi) warm-up ride around West Lake (Tay Ho). This allows our mechanics to fine-tune your gears and seating position while you enjoy the sunset views before the long-distance cycling stages begin.
Accommodation: Selected Adventure Hotel, Hanoi.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.
Drive toward the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, a hidden gem of biodiversity. Upon arrival at Don Village, begin a 3-hour trek through limestone landscapes and vibrant rice terraces to visit the Hieu Waterfall. In the late afternoon, witness the giant bamboo water wheels of Chieng Lau, a masterpiece of traditional irrigation, before checking into an authentic Black Thai stilt house for a communal feast.
Accommodation: Traditional Stilt House, Pu Luong.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Mount your bikes for a journey from the reserve toward the limestone province of Ninh Binh. Cycle through the ancient corridors of the valley, passing local schools and bustling markets. In the afternoon, park your bikes and challenge yourself with the 500-step climb to the summit of Mua Cave for a “Lying Dragon” view of the Ngo Dong River snaking through the rice fields below.
Accommodation: Eco-Garden Resort, Ninh Binh.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.
Continue your cycling stage through the ancient capital of Hoa Lu and the towering karst peaks of Tam Coc. After lunch, we transfer to the port city of Hai Phong for a high-speed ferry to Cat Ba Island. As the largest island in the UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay region, Cat Ba is a rugged mix of jungle and sea. Spend the late afternoon at the beach or hiking to a panoramic viewpoint.
Accommodation: Hilltop Resort, Cat Ba.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.
Board our private expedition boat for a full-day journey into the emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay. We launch our kayaks to navigate through narrow rock arches into secluded lagoons where larger ships are strictly prohibited. Paddle alongside floating fishing villages and stop at a deserted beach for a BBQ lunch. Return to Cat Ba in the evening for a final island celebration dinner.
Accommodation: Hilltop Resort, Cat Ba.
Meals: All meals included on the boat.
Say goodbye to the island as we journey back to the capital. Arrive in Hanoi by mid-afternoon, leaving you time for last-minute boutique shopping at the Dong Xuan Market. Tonight, we gather for a grand farewell dinner at a signature Hanoian restaurant to toast to your 11-day multi-sport achievement across 7 northern destinations.
Accommodation: Selected Adventure Hotel, Hanoi.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Savor your final bowl of traditional Hanoi Pho and a strong Vietnamese coffee before your adventure concludes. Private transfers to Noi Bai Airport are available throughout the day.
Meals: Breakfast.

We cover roughly 60-70 km per day, mostly on flat or gently undulating roads. Our private minibus follows the riders; if you feel tired or want to skip a section, you can hop in and rest, then rejoin the ride whenever you feel ready.
Hanoi is the logistical heart of the North. Returning allows us to perform professional bike fittings and swap trekking boots for cycling gear, ensuring your transition to the Pu Luong leg is seamless and comfortable.
our homestays offer a balance of authenticity and comfort. You will sleep on clean mattresses in a shared hall of a traditional stilt house, with hot showers and high hygiene standards, providing a true "immersion" without the "hardship."
We utilize secluded routes in Lan Ha Bay to avoid the mass-tourism traffic of Ha Long. Our kayaking sessions take you into lagoons accessible only by small craft, ensuring a quiet, intimate connection with the karst landscape.
Hanoi acts as the logistical "hub." Returning to the city allows us to swap trekking gear for cycling equipment, perform bike fittings, and ensures you aren't spending 10+ hours in a car trying to cross the mountain ranges between Sapa and Pu Luong.
