Ride the dramatic Hai Van Pass on a full-day Easyrider loop from Hoi An, linking Marble Mountain, coastal villages and a waterfall swim. Expect ocean views, wartime relics and short stretches of rough road — a compact, scenic motorbike day.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The road peels away from Hoi An’s rice-flat outskirts and climbs, ribbon-like, toward the clouds. Sea spray and engine vibration keep company as you curve through coastal villages, past fishermen hauling nets and terraced paddy frames that glitter with morning light. By the time you hit Hai Van Pass the ocean is suddenly a broad, breathing presence below — wind daring you to look over the guardrail.
