What to Do in Hoi An, Vietnam – 11 Amazing Travel Experiences for $2 or Less

What to do in Hoi An, Vietnam
A treasure trove of budget-friendly experiences awaits in Hoi An

Hoi An‚ Vietnam is a spectacular travel destination for many reasons. Not only is Hoi An gorgeous and versatile, but it’s also a fantastic town for budget-conscious travelers. Where else can you stroll along streets of a UNESCO World Heritage listed town, ride a bicycle through rice paddies to gorgeous palm-tree fringed beaches, and get a glass of fresh Vietnamese beer for $0.15? Not to mention food, glorious, knocks-your-socks-off-delicious food, at ridiculously low prices?

We stayed in Hoi An for almost a month and were able to do so many fun things and enjoy some of the best food anywhere in the world at amazingly low prices. It was very easy to make this month one of the cheapest since we’ve [Read more…]

Riding a Minsk in Vietnam

Get Off the Beaten Track on a Minsk Motorbike Tour

We try to see countries from a different perspective if possible whether it is going to a local fruit and vegetable market away from the busyness of the tourist centre, taking a bike ride into the country or hiking on little known trails. We tend to shy away from the larger tour crowds when we can just due to the fact that we don’t like the jostling of crowds and vending opportunities that many tourist sites have to offer. Of course if you want to see a sight like the Louvre, the Grand Canyon or any well-known attraction it is almost unavoidable to show up and see six tour buses getting off to join you. Fortunately, there are still some amazing attractions and things to do that offer an adventure off the beaten path but close enough to your accommodation to get back in time for dinner.

Or in the case of Hoi An Motorbike Adventures, on and off very beaten and historic tracks on a an old Minsk motorcycle.

Tour Information

Tour Operator: Hoi An Motorbike Adventures

Location: Our tour was out of Hoi An Vietnam with additional riding opportunities offered in Sri Lanka and Laos. The tour included side streets in quiet neighborhoods, a short ride through Danang, up a steep climb along jungle and the sea as well as historic sites.

Price as of March 2015: $95 each or $140 in total for two if your partner rides pillion, check website for latest pricing

Tour style: Easy riding, some technical riding involved if you choose to drive vs ride on back
