UPDATE
WHAT AND FOR WHOM IS THE TRIP?
A challenging expedition, an intensive tour, or perhaps a motorcycle touring vacation in Vietnam assisted and accompanied by a cheerful minibus....
The definition of this trip certainly depends on the skills and experience of the participant, it is definitely not a ride proposal aimed at complete beginners, but neither is it an extreme or even a competitive trip into the unknown. It's an average level of motorized round-trip tourism in yet another extremely attractive Asian tourist destination, within the administrative boundaries of two very different regions of one country Vietnam.
It is a tourist trip, by definition, focused on getting to know the country, interesting places and local culture. Another edition in the destination carried out in a motorized, group formula on 2 and 4 wheels. There are no stunt elements in the event, including rivalry and competition. Participants travel in a group, spend time in a group, support and help each other. The main emphasis in the organization has been on selecting destinations with high tourist appeal, ensuring a balance between travel time and stationary time, and creating conditions for establishing good relationships between participants, while taking care to maintain the expected privacy.
WHAT IS THE PLAN IN A NUTSHELL?
Departure from Poland (WAW) on Thursday with landing in Ho Chi Minh and the next day (example flight with connecting flight WAW-SGN departure 15:45, landing 12:10+6h). Transfer from the airport to the hotel and rest, the next day acclimatization without a motorcycle in the Mekong Delta, followed by a day of touring the fortifications and tunnels of the Vietcong Củ Chi with motorcycle pick-up, on the next day "tour run"...and ride less than 260 km per day, a lot of attractions: mountain passes, towns, pagodas, crops, factories, temples, historical sites, meetings with local communities, local cuisine, local handicraft workshops, folklore and a Polish-speaking pilot/guide/resident with experience. Motorcycle and van ride between Saigon and Da Nang (and Hue), return motorcycles in Hue and fly local airlines to Hanoi for the final leg. Sightseeing in and around Hanoi. Return flight on the 12th day of your stay on Tuesday From Hanoi with landing in Warsaw the next day (departure from HAN 19:20, landing in WAW 13:55-6h) .
For those using OPTION+ to book, continue to Ha Long bay, for those booked to participate in the separate "VIETNAM NORTH MOTOtour" expedition with the famous Ha Giang loop in the program - continue also by driving to Ha Long bay.
WHAT IS THE FORMULA?
Participants arrive by flight at their own expense and organization (we provide support in the selection and purchase of airline tickets, support group purchase - min. 10 people in a group from/to the same place of departure/return). The program of the stay takes into account the needs of tourism and leisure - the passage along the designated route and the implementation of the program points will be carried out in a group formula, for which the organizers have provided directing persons (pilots-group leaders). Participants will receive at their disposal and in accordance with their own reservation statement means of transport in the form of motorcycles, or a van with a driver acting as (in the case of a small group) also a service and luggage vehicle.
For each 8-16 person tourist group, at least 1 pilot/expedition leader will be assigned, responsible for efficient organization in the group, leading the group along the designated route, implementation of the planned program, communication and coordination with other groups and the organizer, translation support at tourist sites, and additionally 1 pilot closing the group (Participants, for their own safety, will move in a compact group between the leading and closing pilot). Groups will move at their own pace with assigned pilots, and consolidation of groups will take place at designated places of organization of the common part (places of tourist attractions, accommodation, checkpoints).
