Renowned as one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Vietnam, the route from Cam Ranh Airport towards Vinh Hy and Phan Rang is a "must-try" experience for any motorcycle enthusiast.
Preparing for a memorable journey
-
The motorbike: Service your bike (brakes, tires, oil) at least 3 days before your departure. A reliable bike will help you feel more confident on mountain passes.
-
Equipment: Standard-compliant helmet, gloves, long-sleeved jacket (for sun protection), and sunglasses (sea winds can easily dry out your eyes and carry dust).
-
Safety tips:
-
The wind in this area is very strong, especially during the monsoon season. Keep a firm grip on the handlebars and slow down when entering blind curves.
-
Some sections are remote, and cell service may be spotty. Always travel in a group and stay in contact.
-
Riding the Vinh Hy route is not recommended for inexperienced riders or those uncomfortable with mountain passes. If you are not confident, consider hiring a shuttle service.
Quick checklist
-
Bring electrolyte drinks and a sun hat.
-
Only stop for photos at safe locations; never stop in the middle of the road or at blind curves.
-
Always check local road conditions with local authorities if you plan to travel during the rainy season.
