When our team reaches Ba Be Lake, we will have a relaxing time on the boat to discover the raw beauty of nature. We will stay there overnight with a local family.

“Ba Be Lake is in the core area of Ba Be national park- with the high biodiversity of fauna and flora. This topography here is typical of karst with the primitive forests on limestone mountains and system of caves and grottos. In that area, the disturbances of tourists, even small or big can somehow change the ecological balance. Therefore, the tourism here should be minimized to balance conservation and tourism development. With the Vietnam motorbike tour, we ensure that the impacts are minimized under control. It is so glad that you did have moments with nature and people there”.
