Renowned as one of Vietnam's most scenic coastal routes, the road from Cam Ranh Airport toward Vinh Hy and Phan Rang is a "must-try" experience for any road trip enthusiast.
Preparing for a Memorable Journey
-
Your Bike: Have your motorbike serviced (brakes, tires, oil) at least 3 days before departure. A reliable bike will give you greater confidence on mountain passes.
-
Riding Gear: Standard-compliant helmet, riding gloves, long-sleeved jacket (for sun protection), sunglasses (sea winds can easily dry out your eyes and stir up dust).
-
Safety Precautions:
-
Winds in this region can be very strong, especially during monsoon season. Keep a firm grip on the handlebars and slow down when entering blind curves.
-
Some stretches are isolated with spotty cellular reception. Always travel in groups and stay in touch.
-
Inexperienced riders or those unfamiliar with descending mountain passes are not advised to ride the Vinh Hy pass route on their own. Consider hiring a private transfer service if you are not fully confident.
Quick Checklist
-
Carry electrolyte drinks and a sun hat.
-
Only pull over to take photos at designated safe spots; never stop in the middle of the road or around blind turns.
-
Always check local road and weather advisories if you plan to travel during the rainy season.
