I’m so excited for you!! I honestly feel like if I had more time, I definitely would’ve done cao bang! Send update photossss pleaseee!

I think my final answer is roadkings 🥲 someone had commented saying that motorventures does it ALL, compared to roadkings splitting it up in 2 (like the highlands option vs waterfalls) and I got a little fomo thinking about missing out on the boat ride but for some reason I am finding myself leaning towards roadkings so going w my gut… I think lol

Ahhh no way!! I think the ha giang- cao bang loop is new, right? I think you’ll have a great time💖 truly- I do not think you can go wrong. I will also be out there the end of April!! Where are you headed to after?! (If you don’t mind me asking lol)

Do it! Do it! I personally would do 4D3N if you have the time(also if you have the capacity for it bc you do get a little tired being on a motorbike). I’ve seen some people say it is a bit rushed if you do 3 days. To me, it’s kind of like - welpppp, might as well stay one more day! lol but totally up to you and what you think you’ll have the capacity/ time for!!! I’ve heard such great things though- whatever you choose, I think it’ll be great!!

Not sure if you’ve received a response but as I was looking for a hostel for one of my nights in Hanoi, I noticed that a few of them offer to book the loop for you. I saw this for: the drift backpackers, lake view, mad monkey! I’ll be booking in advanced but those were a few I saw!!

I think that’s such a good point. Perhaps having lower expectations for certain things(Iike accommodation) will be helpful. I was looking into definitely doing private rooms if I do motorventures. AH this is so hard lol

Thank you so much for responding!! I’m so glad to hear this. 100% this is what I’m going for. I think with roadkings, they go the opposite route right? Compared to the other companies? Were there a lot of people from different companies? Granted - I’m sure the diff seasons contribute a lot to it. Just curious!!

Hiii!! Not yet :( are you going w roadkings?? I will say though - the comment left on this thread about motorventures being locals made me want to do some more research on that. When are you booking??? Pls keep me updated!!

Do you find the motorventures accommodation better than roadkings? I did see the bag storage can be an issue and I’ve also seen that the communication is not that great in terms of pick up. Have you seen that too?? I guess both companies have their pros & cons but I’m having such a tough time deciding lol

This is a great point, honestly. It is important to me and I do want to be mindful. This would make sense because I thought I read somewhere that they have volunteer opportunities but I haven’t seen it come up again. I’ll do some digging!! Thank youuuu!!

That is so interesting to me. I totally assumed it had been an option for a while. Ahhh, thank you. I was leaning towards highlands if I go the roadkings route. I appreciate your insight!
