bonsoir,
nous voulons partir dans le delta du mekong depuis hcmv à 2 et en moto. La minsk ou autres motos sont elles suffisantes pour 2 pers. et 2 gros sacs à dos ? Les routes ne sont-elles pas trop fatiguantes à moto ? Est-ce le bon moyen de transport ?

C'est la route la plus dangereuse du VietNam🙂 Je ne le vous conseille pas. Ou alors vous ne prenez pas la nationale. De HoChiMinVille, allez à Can Giouc, Go Cong, My Tho, puis suivre la route au bord du fleuve jusqu'au marché flottant de Cai Bé.
Pour un gros sac à dos, ça va sur le dos du passager mais ce sera difficile sur le dos du conducteur, à moins que vous soyez équilibriste comme les gens du pays, en le mettant entre les jambes du conducteur.
Je pense le mieux c'est de prendre un bus ou un minibus jusqu'à destination et louer une moto pour ballader dans les 50 km autour en revenant le soir à son hotel.
Lucky that we have a home/Our Home is Nha May Man/Passing rain and dry seasons/In a full-of-love atmosphere/Besides my new family/I have brothers and sisters/The sun shines over the skies/Let's stay here, with all of us,
🙂 Effectivement le mieux est de prendre un tour organisé pour cantho, et de les laisser en route pour continuer ensuite en moto . mais attention, à can tho nous n'avons trouvé de moto qu'à l'hotel .
A chau doc nous avons eu un guide pour 5 $ par jour qui nous a fait découvrir des sites extraordinaires et nous a emmenés jusqu'à rai gia
laissez votre sac à l'hotel à Saigon où vous retournrez en fin de circuit, et partez avec le minimum . c'est ce que nous avions fait
voyez sur notre blog, ....si celà peux vous aider
http://lapasserose.over-blog.com/
Merci pour ces infos. Nous irons dans le Delta en bus, mais nous pouvons y rester que 2 jours. Que visiter ? Avec moto ?
Merci d'avance
🙂
ps: Connaissez vous l'adresse d'un hôtel sympa (petit budget) sur HCMV, que l'on puisse réserver par internet avec possibilité que qq'un vienne nous récupérer à aéroport ?
Si vous n'avez que deux jours, vous n'aurez pas beaucoup de temps de vous balader en moto. Faites vous déposer en minibus jusqu'à Cai Be, ouvert de 5 H du matin jusqu'à 5 H du soir. Rendez-vous dans l'ile Binh Hoa Phuoc pour une visite et un déjeuner chez l'habitant, ou dans l'ilot Tan Phong pour visiter les jardins de ramboutants. Le soir, rendez-vous à Can Tho et choisissez l'hotel Nam Kieu au bout du quai Nam Kieu, lieu de départ des bateaux pour visiter le marché flottant de Cai Rang. Le soir, allez diner sur le bateau de croisière, puis une ballade nocturne avec le Xe Keo à moto.
Pour l'hotel à Saigon, le choix dépend de l'endroit où vous voulez rayonner. Il y a plein d'hotels autour de 13 Euros. En sortant de l'aéroport, prenez un taxi pour 3 à 4 Euros pour vous faire visiter un de ces hotels. Le chauffeur de taxi connait l'hotel chez qui il a une petite commission (1 Euro!), visitez la chambre et si vous n'êtes pas satisfait, faites-vous amener dans un autre hotel qui de toute façon n'est pas trop éloigné l'un de l'autre.

Nous allons allonger notre séjour dans le delta. Nous pensions à 3 ou 4 jours au lieu de 2. Que nous propose tu de plus, toujours dans cette optique "hors des sentiers battus" ?
Que pense tu de sortir du delta par Rach Già pour rejoindre Phù Quõc et ensuite revenir à Saigon. L'île métire-t-elle ce détour dans un périble d'une grosse quinzaine ?

Mes meilleurs voeux,
Votre message s'est noyé complètement dans le flot des nouveaux messages qui envahissent cette rubrique et m'est complètement passé inaperçu et je vous réponds avec un peu de retard. Heureusement qu'en ouvrant mon mail, j'ai reçu un message de VoyageForum.
Si vous disposez de 4 jours, vous pouvez aller jusqu'à Chau Doc puis ensuite rejoindre Hatien et Rach Gia. Il me semble que j'ai écrit plein de choses sur ce trajet récemment.
De Rach Gia, prenez le Catamaran SpeedBoat pour vous rendre dans l'Ile de Phu Quoc, un vrai paradis terrestre. Vous arriverez au Port d'Anthoi et faites-vous amener aux Bungalows My Lan, à la Plage de Bai Sao. Vous passerez de merveilleuses vacances ici. Vous pouvez vous renseigner pour louer un bateau et visiter l'Archipel et en particulier le Temple du Roi Gia Long. Vous pouvez louer des motos et parcourir toute l'ile sans crainte. Il y a très peu de circulation. L'ile fait 52 km de long du Sud au Nord. 4 jours seront nécessaires pour bien profiter de l'ile.
Lucky that we have a home/Our Home is Nha May Man/Passing rain and dry seasons/In a full-of-love atmosphere/Besides my new family/I have brothers and sisters/The sun shines over the skies/Let's stay here, with all of us,
Je reviens d'un tour de 4 jours en moto dans le delta du Mekong apres avoir suivi tes recommendations et je souhaitais donner un petit retour
vous ne prenez pas la nationale. De HoChiMinVille, allez à Can Giouc, Go Cong, My Tho, puis suivre la route au bord du fleuve jusqu'au marché flottant de Cai Bé.
La route qui passe a l'est vers Can Giouc et Go Cong, jusqu'a My Tho est vraiment difficile, c'est presque une piste, pleine de nids de poule, boueuse etc, et sur les cotes c'est meme pas beau a voir. Arrives a Go Cong nous avons voulu tenter les plages du Long An et la... horreur, c'est un melange d'eaux fluviales boueuses, imbaignable.
La route entre My Tho et Cai Be qui suit les bords du fleuve en revanche, est vraiment charmante, les paysages sont supers, surtout en fin d'apres midi. On a eu l'impression de rentrer dans Cai Be en passant par chez quelqu'un :) Cai Be est a ne pas louper !
En se qui concerne l'autoroute A1, elle ne nous a pas paru si dangereuse. Elle est un peu encombree comme toute autoroute vietnamienne mais nous l'avons suivi jusqu'a Can Tho, et elle nous a fait gagner pas mal de temps. Les grands ponts qui accedent par ces autoroutes a Vinh Long et Can Tho sont tres impressionants, d'ailleurs tout le monde vient y admirer la vue imprenable sur le mekong et le coucher de soleil !
Mon avis personnel est que faire le delta en bus, c'est vraiment vraiment vraiment dommage !
La route qui passe a l'est vers Can Giouc et Go Cong, jusqu'a My Tho est vraiment difficile, c'est presque une piste,
En effet, je l'ai signalé dans un message il y a 2 mois. Du coup, j'ai pris une route de Cân Duoc à Cho Gao en passant par Tân Tru, Bình Quói, Tâm Vu. C'est une route très sympa, en traversant 2 petits bacs et j'ai été très étonné de découvrir des champs de Thanh Long (Fruits du Dragon), qui normalement poussent sur des terrains arides comme les déserts près de Nha Trang.
De My Tho à Cái Bè, j'ai également pris la route qui longe le fleuve en passant encore sur deux petits bacs. L'arrivée sur Cái Bè est la plus spectaculaire, j'ai demandé de rester sur le bac pendant plusieurs traversées pour photographier l'église au milieu du fleuve qui se subdivise.
Le Delta du Mékong en moto par les petites routes, c'est extra pour ceux qui ont du temps et l'envie de découvrir la vie des gens. Je m'arrête très souvent dans les marchés pour manger et près des bacs pour boire un coup de cannes à sucre ou déguster des fruits frais et on y apprend en bavardant la vie, la mort, les mariages etc...

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for campsites around BOLZANO (South Tyrol) for early September.
I'll be on my motorcycle with a small tent.
I've noticed that some campsites have exorbitant prices.
If you've traveled through the Dolomites by motorcycle or otherwise and camped there, I'd love any tips on places and prices where I can stay for one night or several.
Thanks to all of you, and happy travels.
I’m starting to think about a trip that’s really close to my heart: Algeria by motorcycle, specifically the southern part of the country. It’d be for January 2025, and I’ve got two main questions:
Is it possible for an individual on a motorcycle to travel freely, outside of any organized tour, or does the regulation require some kind of supervision in the Algerian Sahara region?
Is the Hoggar massif accessible by road or by (rideable) tracks?
Beyond the official recommendations, I’m really looking for your firsthand experiences.
Thanks so much for your answers, and sorry if my questions are a bit newbie!
I just realized I’ve been registered on VoyageForum since... March 28, 2012 😊. Yet, I’ve barely participated until now.
August 1, 2026, will mark a somewhat special milestone: 5 years on the road.
We left Switzerland on August 1, 2021 with a simple idea: let chance decide our direction. We placed a bottle of wine on a world map, spun it... and it chose our first destination.
A year later, when we arrived in Morocco, we faced a new choice: continue toward Africa or head to Asia. This time, a tarot card game made the decision. Since then, we’ve tried to keep this journey as open to the unexpected as possible.
Today, that adds up to about 120,000 km, 46 countries, and over 1,800 days on the road—mostly by motorcycle, but also by sailboat, train, bus, hitchhiking, or on foot when adventure calls.
Our guiding thread isn’t just the motorcycle, but service exchanges. Instead of simply passing through countries, we try to stop regularly to lend a hand to the people we meet. So far, that’s about 600 days of volunteering.
Over the years, we’ve:
renovated a house in Croatia
made earth bricks in the Moroccan desert
helped sail a boat through the Greek islands
looked after houses, dogs, horses, a camel... and lots of other animals
worked at a street art festival in Morocco
created videos for local associations and projects
worked the grape harvest on the Tibetan plateau
been accredited as "media" for the World Nomad Games in Central Asia
Some of the moments that have stuck with us the most include six months in China, a night spent on the Great Wall, the Pamir Highway, the Silk Road, three months in Taiwan, and the incredible encounters in the mountains of Central Asia.
We travel on Falkor, our lucky dragon—a 2014 BMW F800GS that’s been with us since the start and is starting to have some great stories of its own.
While we share our adventure on Instagram, Polarsteps, and YouTube, that’s not why we’re here. The forum’s rules about promotion are clear, and I totally get them. If I’m finally taking the time to write, it’s mostly because after five years on the road, I thought our experience might be useful to other travelers.
Happy to chat about:
preparing for a long motorcycle trip
visas and borders
the Silk Road and Central Asia
riding in China (with or without a motorcycle)
volunteering and service exchanges while traveling
gear, daily life on the road... or just the unexpected moments that make long-term travel so special
Looking forward to swapping stories and hearing about your adventures too! 😊 Greetings from Thailand, and happy to chat! ✌️
Hi there! My daughter and I are heading to Malta and I’d love to rent a scooter. Does anyone know any good places to rent from and what the budget would be for a week?
Hello, I’m retired and planning a roughly 3-week motorcycle trip (1200gs). The dates aren’t set in stone yet, and everything’s open to discussion—I’m pretty flexible with the planning.
I’d like to ride from Mahajanga to Morondava, sticking as close to the coast as possible—using roads and tracks—in September 2026. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! 😉
hi
planning to ride through Rajasthan on a motorcycle in January 2027 and I’d love to hear about the road conditions.
I’ll be riding with a buddy on a Royal Enfield that I’ll rent in Delhi.
Thanks for your tips!
hi there
I’d like to ride the RN 12 by motorcycle in September.
I’d love to know the main challenges—I ride a 300cc and do enduro in France.
Thanks for your tips!
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.
Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.
This trip requires experience with long motorcycle journeys, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on sightseeing and time spent).
I don’t expect dozens of applicants, since motorcycle riders are few and far between on this forum, but I’m putting this out there anyway.
Hi, I’d like to take a 15-day "break" to get away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Why not explore the Peloponnese!
I’m not particularly drawn to museums, ruins, or monuments.
I want to experience local life—small villages, seaside spots, beaches, and the interior if the landscapes are extraordinary.
Ideally, coming from Athens, I’d take a bus or train to get as close as possible to a starting point, then rent a scooter (125cc) to explore by taking secondary roads or even coastal paths. I’d stay in 2-3 places for a few days each to discover their surroundings.
Do a loop.
What do you think would be the ideal itinerary?
From Athens, the best option would be to take either a flight or a bus to Kalamata. Rent a scooter and head either west or east. Is there a tertiary road (very lightly trafficked) or a path where I can ride slowly, take it easy, and enjoy the scenery without being bothered by traffic? I’d like to go all the way to Monemvasia, still hugging the coast. I need to find a way to avoid returning to Kalamata to drop off the scooter and catch a flight—maybe a small town where the train stops so I can head back to Athens.
Thanks in advance for your tips.
I want to rent an off-road style motorcycle to get around the coast during my trip to Ecuador. I’m only finding options in Quito. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Hi there,
I’m planning a sidecar trip to South America for 4 or 5 months at the end of this year.
I’m looking for info on shipping my vehicle by sea—possibly to Uruguay or another destination, as I haven’t finalized anything yet.
How do you get visas for the countries I’ll be crossing: Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile? Are they e-Visas, obtained at the border, or through embassies?
Where can I get vehicle insurance?
Lastly, if any bikers want to join us (my partner and me), we’re open to that possibility too.

I’ve got 15 days off in June and I’m pretty undecided about where to go for a motorcycle road trip. Two strong desires are pulling me in different directions: Corsica or Norway.
Corsica has been a dream of mine for a long time: legendary roads, stunning landscapes, a unique vibe, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains. At the same time, I’m wondering if 2 weeks might be *too much* for Corsica—risking feeling like I’ve seen it all too quickly, especially on a bike.
Since I also have an extra week free in May, I could use that specifically for Corsica. Maybe splitting it into two trips would make more sense? If so, which routes or regions would be the most interesting to plan for a 7-day trip?
On the other hand, Norway is *super* appealing. The landscapes look incredible, totally different from anything I’ve experienced, and it’d be a real “wow” trip. I know 15 days is still short for such a vast country. Getting all the way to the North Cape seems pretty much impossible in that time, but I’m curious about what realistic routes could be planned.
So I’m wondering:
Is it better to save Norway for next year, take 3 weeks off, and do it *properly*?
Or are 15 days enough for a first amazing taste of the country?
I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether it’s Corsica (ideal duration, routes) or Norway (what’s realistic in 2 weeks on a bike).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used small motorcycle to travel around the country for a month and a half.
I've done this in other countries without putting the registration in my name—is that possible in Guinea given the apparently frequent checks, or do I have to go through the paperwork?
Thanks.
Hello,
My dream is to ride Route 66 by motorcycle. I have a disability—while I’m not in a wheelchair, my walking mobility is reduced.
The ideal scenario would be to have a motorcycle driver and ride as their passenger on an organized trip.
Are there any guides or services like this offered by travel agencies?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hello,
I’ve got a plan with a friend to go on a motorcycle road trip in 2028 or 2029, starting in Santiago de Chile and ending in Ushuaia, for about a month.
Has anyone done a trip like this before, and what’s the best time of year?
I’ve heard there can be quite a bit of wind depending on the season.
Thanks for any tips!
Cheers,
PA
I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys
It's all in the title: I'm heading to Krabi soon and want to rent a scooter for a few weeks, but after reading comments about all kinds of scams, I'm reaching out to ask where and how (read: *the right way*) to rent one.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
Hello everyone! Like every year, a winter migration is on the horizon (revised plan): this time, it’ll be Dakar, or even Abidjan, via Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
Looking for an experienced motorcyclist or pillion rider—small build preferred—on a GSA 1250 with a comfy seat and luggage setup, available from early November to late December 2025. I’d like to plan the trip together (important to me) to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Looking for travel companions to ride from France to Senegal by motorcycle.
I’m Paul, 37, and I’ve already done a bit of riding in Morocco.
For now, I’m solo, riding a 1998 SUZUKI DR 650 with some basic gear to keep things smooth. I’ll have a tent so we can do a few nights under the stars.
We’ll need to coordinate departure dates—"ideally in November."
I’m currently checking out routes to take. Any tips would be welcome! :)
I’m heading to Vietnam and Laos with a buddy next week for a month.
We’re thinking of renting motorbikes, especially to do the Ha Giang Loop. We don’t have an international license, just our Belgian one. Is that enough? If not, is it risky?
In November, we’re planning to do the Ha Giang loop and the RC4 by motorbike without a guide. 😎
We’re looking for a decent place to stay/rent in Ha Giang.
If anyone has any info, we’d be really interested.
Hello! We’re planning a motorcycle trip that will include a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 2026.
We’re unsure (still debating) whether we should stay at a hotel on-site and get to the memorial with an Uber (leaving our bikes at the hotel) and book a guided tour, or base ourselves in Kraków and take a tour that includes transport.
One thing’s for sure—we’d prefer a guide in French since we don’t speak English 😅.
Could you share your experiences or advice?
I understand we need to book online rather than on-site.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hello,
Next October we’re planning to ride the Ruta de la Plata by motorcycle—a historic Spanish route that runs from Gijón to Seville, also known as the N630.
Has anyone here already ridden it?
Unfortunately, I’m worried that parts of the N630 may have disappeared or merged with the A66 motorway, forcing us to ride long stretches of highway, which we’d rather avoid.
Thanks in advance for any tips or details about this route!
Hi there!
I’m currently planning a 9-day route starting from Marrakech with my husband. We land on the morning of June 13th—so soon! 😊
And we’re flying back to France on June 21st at 9 PM!
We’ve rented two Royal Enfield 450s.
This is our first motorcycle trip in Morocco. I got my license two years ago with the dream of taking this kind of trip, and here we are! ✌️😍
In France, we usually ride between 300 to 400 km per day on roadsters. We’re not used to off-road tracks, so we’re looking for easy ones 😅—especially for me 😅.
For Morocco, I’ve planned stages of 200 to 300 km per day.
Here’s the idea:
Day 1 (departure at noon): Marrakech - Tizi n Test - Tafingoult (165 km - 4h15)
Day 2: Tafingoult - Amzarkou - Telouet (200 km - 4h34)
Day 3: Telouet - Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - Boumalne (200 km - 3h30) (+ Vallée des Roses maybe)
Day 4: Boumalne - Dades Gorges - Agoudal - Todra Gorges - Tinghir - Goulmima (291 km - 6h)
Day 5: Goulmima - Midelt - Cirque Jaffar - Agoudim (280 km - 4h45)
Day 6: Agoudim - Imilchil - Aghbala - El Ksiba (280 km - 4h45)
Day 7: El Ksiba - La Cathédrale - Zaouiat Ahansal (212 km - 4h20)
Day 8: Ahansal - Ouzoud Waterfalls via R 302 (188 km - 4h22)
Day 9: Ouzoud - Marrakech (160 km - 2h43)
End of the trip 😮.
What do you think?
We haven’t booked any hotels—is that a problem? We were thinking of deciding day by day based on our progress.
Can we take our helmets with us in the cabin, or should we pack them in the checked luggage surrounded by clothes to avoid damage?
Hey there, fellow riders,
I’m really keen on a motorcycle trip to Morocco, specifically the Middle Atlas. Does anyone have any info or tips on this idea? Planning to go in September or October...
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Christine
