A great Hanoi half-day tour, this off-road buggy adventure takes you from the busy city to the peaceful countryside of Soc Son, just 60 minutes from the Old Quarter. Choose a comfortable car transfer or upgrade to a scenic motorbike ride for a more immersive start.
After a safety briefing, take the wheel of your self-drive buggy and begin your journey through winding forest paths, dirt tracks, and natural trails across pine forests and rolling hills.

Sometimes it’s not about big highlights, just about how the whole experience feels – and this one felt really nice from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, and the atmosphere was light and enjoyable the entire time. Thane and Briar were both fantastic. Very thoughtful, patient, and always smiling. They made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Such a simple but genuinely lovely experience

This buggy tour was honestly just pure fun. Driving the buggy was easy to learn and super enjoyable. The route had a bit of everything – some nature, some off-road, and lots of laughs along the way. Thane was amazing, always making sure everyone felt safe and happy. He brought such a positive energy to the whole group. I left the tour with a big smile on my face 😄 Highly recommend if you want something a bit playful and different!

This buggy tour was such a great change from normal sightseeing. Driving through rough paths and open areas made it feel a bit like an adventure, but everything was still very well organized. It’s easy enough for beginners but still exciting at the same time. Thane did an excellent job guiding the group and making sure everything went smoothly. He kept things fun and made everyone feel included. If you’re looking to do something more active and memorable in Hanoi, this is a great option.

This tour was an absolute blast. Driving the buggy through dirt roads and more rural areas felt like a mini adventure. It’s not just sightseeing – it’s actually fun and interactive. Everything was well organized, and the team made sure we felt comfortable before starting. Thane was great as always – very attentive, fun, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you want something a bit more exciting and different from typical city tours, you should definitely try this one!

The off-road vehicle tour was something I wasn’t sure about at first, but it turned out to be a really fun experience. It’s not too adventurous, just enough to make it feel different from a normal tour. Thane made everything feel smooth and comfortable. He’s the kind of guide that doesn’t try too hard, but still makes sure everyone is enjoying themselves. I liked that you still get to see real parts of Hanoi, not just the main spots. It felt authentic, just with a bit of a twist.
