World Expeditions has expanded its Southeast Asia cycling portfolio with the launch of a new range of fully supported cycling adventures through Vietnam as demand for immersive active experiences across the region continues to grow.
The launch comes amid a sharp rise in interest in Southeast Asia travel, with page views on World Expeditions’ website up by 49% for Vietnam, 88% for Thailand and 85% for Indonesia, reflecting growing demand for destinations that are closer to Australia, culturally immersive and well suited to active travel.
The new Vietnam cycling range includes the 17-day Vietnam Cycle: Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, the 13-day Ho Chi Minh City to Hue Cycle by e-Bike, the 10-day Ho Chi Minh City to Hoi An Cycle, and the five-day Mai Chau to Pu Luong Cycle. Each journey follows carefully designed cycling routes through Vietnam’s coastline, countryside and mountain landscapes, using quieter backroads and minor roads wherever possible to create a more immersive and enjoyable riding experience.
World Expeditions says the new departures represent a shift in the style of cycling product available in Southeast Asia, with guaranteed departures, strong availability and flexible options designed to appeal to both experienced cyclists and travellers newer to active adventures. E-Bikes are available across all departures, broadening accessibility and helping riders manage longer distances and climbs.
“We’re seeing strong momentum in Southeast Asia, particularly for active travel experiences that allow people to connect more deeply with local culture and landscapes,” said Sue Badyari, CEO of World Expeditions.
“Cycling is one of the most rewarding ways to experience Vietnam because travellers move through villages, coastlines and rural communities at a slower pace and with greater connection to the places they visit. These new itineraries combine high-quality support, excellent local expertise and reliable guaranteed departures, making them incredibly appealing for both travellers and agents.”
All trips are operated by experienced local cycling crews including guides, mechanics and drivers, with luggage transfers, support vehicles and quality accommodation throughout. Group sizes are capped at a maximum of 16 guests to maintain a personalised and well-supported experience.
World Expeditions has also highlighted growing interest in active water-based journeys through Vietnam and Cambodia via its On Water Expeditions brand, including the Mekong River Active Explorer from Saigon to Siem Reap, which combines cycling, kayaking and small-boat travel through the Mekong Delta and Cambodia.
