Swap city streets for dirt tracks on this half-day quad bike adventure through the countryside around Hoi An. You visit a local market, ride through villages and farmland, then finish with a riverside BBQ built around fresh ingredients sourced earlier in the day.
Your guide collects you from your hotel and drives you to the quad base on the outskirts of Hoi An. After a safety briefing and helmet fitting, you practice basic controls on flat ground before joining the convoy. Riders of mixed ability stay together, with the guide setting a steady pace suited to beginners as well as more confident guests.
The route threads through working villages, jungle fringe, and open farmland with views across the Thu Bon river plain, using private trails that stay away from busy tourist roads. Midway through the ride you pause at a local market to see seasonal produce and snacks, then continue on quieter tracks toward the riverside BBQ spot.
At the river you enjoy a freshly prepared meal with grilled dishes and sides, with vegetarian options available on request when you book. After lunch or dinner you return to the base and transfer back to your hotel. Choose a lunch or dinner session at booking so the market visit, riding time, and meal timing match your day.
The activity runs in the countryside surrounding Hoi An in Quang Nam province, central Vietnam. Trails pass through rural hamlets and farmland a short drive from Hoi An ancient town and the Da Nang coastal strip, with rice paddies, palm lines, and riverside paths typical of the region.
Hotel pickup covers central Hoi An and many Da Nang beach and city hotels. Exact pickup times are confirmed when you book and depend on whether you choose the lunch or dinner session, so you can plan around other sightseeing in the area.
Riders should be comfortable sitting on a motorised quad and following guide instructions in English or Vietnamese. No prior quad experience is needed when you listen carefully at the briefing and stay with the convoy.
A valid photo ID may be required. Children must meet the minimum height and age rules set for safety on uneven rural tracks and ride as passengers where permitted. Guests with back problems, pregnancy, or recent surgery should check with a doctor before booking.
This outing combines culture, scenery, and hands-on riding in a single half day rather than a short loop on a flat field. Licensed guides lead every convoy, equipment is checked between sessions, and private trail access keeps you on quieter paths through real villages and farmland.
The riverside BBQ gives a relaxed finish after time on the trails, using ingredients linked to the market stop earlier in the day. Small groups of up to ten keep the pace personal while still covering market, riding, and meal in one joined itinerary.
This tour includes hotel pickup in Da Nang or Hoi An. Confirm your accommodation address when booking so the guide can arrange collection for the market visit and ATV ride.
After the BBQ, you are returned to your hotel. If you are staying outside the usual pickup zone, contact the team in advance to agree a suitable meeting point.
No prior quad biking experience is required for this tour. Guides give a full safety briefing before you set off and lead the group in convoy at a steady pace suited to mixed abilities. You will practice basic controls on flat ground before entering village tracks.
If you have never ridden before, tell your guide at the briefing so they can pair you with a suitable machine and keep you near the front of the group. Passengers can ride pillion on some quads when permitted by the operator.
Wear closed-toe shoes, long trousers and clothing you do not mind getting dusty. Sunglasses and sunscreen are strongly recommended because much of the route is open to the sun. Light layers work well for early morning or late afternoon departures.
Helmets are provided. Avoid loose scarves or dangling jewellery that could catch on branches along narrow tracks. A small backpack or secure pocket for your phone and valuables is useful; leave large bags at your hotel if possible.
Yes, pickup and drop-off from central Hoi An and many Da Nang hotels is included when you book through the operator network. You will receive a pickup time window after booking that reflects whether you chose the lunch or dinner session.
If you stay outside the standard pickup zone, you may need to meet at a central collection point or arrange your own transport. Contact details are shared in your booking confirmation so you can confirm your address in advance.
Children may join as passengers on some quad bikes when they meet the operator minimum age and height rules. These limits are set for safety on uneven rural tracks and are confirmed at booking.
Younger children and infants are generally not suitable for riding on quads. If you travel with children, mention their ages when you book so the team can advise on the best option or suggest an alternative activity.
The riverside BBQ features grilled meats, fresh vegetables and rice or noodles prepared using ingredients sourced from the market visit earlier in the day. Vegetarian guests can request meat-free dishes when booking or at the start of the tour.
Drinking water is included during the activity. Alcoholic drinks, soft drinks beyond water and extra snacks are not included and can be purchased locally if available at the BBQ site.
The full experience lasts approximately four hours from hotel pickup to drop-off, including transfer time, the market stop, riding and the BBQ. Actual riding time is typically two to three hours depending on group pace and weather.
Lunch departures usually run in the morning and early afternoon, while dinner sessions start later in the day. Your exact schedule is shown when you select a date and time during booking.
Light rain may not cancel the tour because trails can still be ridden with care. Heavy rain, flooding or unsafe track conditions may lead to rescheduling or cancellation for safety reasons.
The operator monitors local conditions and will contact you if a change is needed. Bring a light rain jacket during wet season months from September to December when showers are more common in central Vietnam.
Yes, personal travel insurance that covers adventure activities and medical evacuation is strongly recommended. Quad biking on rural tracks carries inherent risks despite professional supervision and maintained equipment.
Check that your policy includes off-road motorised activities in Vietnam. The tour price does not include insurance cover for injury, cancellation or lost belongings.
A moderate level of fitness is helpful because you will sit on a vibrating quad for extended periods and may need to steer over uneven ground. The route is designed for beginners rather than extreme off-road riding.
Guests with back problems, pregnancy or recent surgery should consult a doctor before booking. Tell your guide about any health concerns at the safety briefing so they can adjust pacing if needed.
Yes, different departure times correspond to lunch or dinner BBQ sessions. Select the option that suits your schedule when you choose your date and time on the booking calendar.
Both sessions follow the same route and market visit; only the meal timing differs. If you have dietary requirements, note them at booking so the kitchen can prepare suitable dishes.
