Questions & Answers

Is a deposit required, and what payment methods do you accept?

  • Yes, a small deposit is required to confirm your reservation and  secure your spot. This deposit can be made online via OnePay,  with a 4% processing fee applied. The remaining balance can be  paid upon arrival at our Ha Giang office, where we accept:  • Vietnamese Dong (VND)   Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) – A 4% processing fee  applies to card payments.  

How do we get to Ha Giang?

The arrival bus from Ha Noi to Ha Giang and the departure bus  from Ha Giang back to Ha Noi are both included in the price. If  you’re coming from Sapa, Cat Ba, Ha Long, or Ninh Binh, please  contact us in advance for the best transportation arrangements— we’re happy to assist in booking buses! Additional costs may be  applied for other bus destinations.  

What should I bring for the Ha Giang Loop motorbike tour?

To make the most of your Ha Giang Loop adventure, here are a  few essentials you should pack:  
  • Small Backpack – Lightweight and compact, perfect for a  day trip  
  • Comfortable Clothes & Shoes – Ideal for exploring the  stunning mountain landscapes. (Remember to bring warm  winter clothes from November-March)  
  • Sunscreen/sunglasses – Protect your skin from the strong  sun.  
  • Mosquito Repellent – A must-have for staying bite-free in  rural areas.  
  • SIM Card – Useful for navigation and staying connected. 
  • Camera/GoPro – Capture breathtaking scenery and  unforgettable moments.  
  • Cash – ATMs can be scarce, so carry enough for your trip.

Can I Ride My Own Motorbike on the Ha Giang Loop?

  • Yes, you can, but you must meet the legal requirements:  • A valid International Driving Permit (IDP) under the 1968  Vienna Convention, with an A or A1 stamp for motorbike  eligibility. Please note: 1949 Convention licenses are not  accepted, please check what type of IDP your home country  issues. 
  • A motorbike license from your home country that permits you to ride the same type of bike. If you do not have the required licenses, we strongly recommend joining an Easy Rider tour,  where an experienced local guide will drive for you. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking  scenery without the stress of road conditions or navigation.  Important Notice: Riding without a valid license is illegal. If  you choose to do so, you assume full responsibility for any  consequences, including fines or issues with the authorities.  We do not take any responsibility in such cases. Ride safely  and legally!    

Can I bring my suitcase or a big backpack on the Ha Giang Loop tour?

All you will need is a day pack for your trip. If you have a suitcase  or a large backpack, don’t worry! You can store it safely at our  office before starting the tour. For the best experience, pack only  the necessities—comfortable clothing, personal items, and travel  essentials. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!  

Can I ride an automatic scooter on the Ha Giang Loop?

Yes, you can use an automatic or scooter on the Ha Giang Loop, but it’s not the best choice. Here’s why: 🚨 Why NOT an Automatic/Scooter?
  • Steep, Rough Roads – The Ha Giang Loop has steep inclines, sharp turns, and uneven terrain. Automatic scooters struggle with power and braking on these roads.
  • Weaker Braking Control – Automatics rely heavily on brakes, which can overheat and fail on long downhill stretches.
  • Less Stability – Scooters have smaller tires and weaker suspension, making them less stable on bumpy roads.
  • Limited Power – Automatics don’t have the same power and torque as manual bikes, making it harder to climb steep hills.
✅ Best Option: Manual Motorbike Or Semi-Automatic If you’re comfortable riding a manual, a Honda XR 150 or HonWinner is the best choice. If you’re not confident with a clutch, a semi-automatic (e.g., Honda Blade) is much better than a fully automatic scooter.

Do I Need to Tip My Driver or Guide in Ha Giang?

Tipping is not mandatory in Vietnam, but it is greatly  appreciated, especially for drivers and guides who provide  excellent service. When Should You Tip?  
  • If your guide/driver goes above and beyond (e.g., helps  with luggage, takes great photos, or ensures your safety on  tricky roads).  
  • If you had an amazing experience and want to show  appreciation.  
  • At the end of the trip, hand it to them personally with a  smile—it will mean a lot!  
While tipping isn’t expected, it’s a great way to support the local  community and encourage quality service.
