Mobile ticket
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. If you’re looking for an experience similar to an ATV or quad bike tour in Hanoi, this buggy ride offers a more stable yet equally thrilling way to explore off-road terrain.
Feel the adrenaline as you navigate uneven ground, slopes, and muddy sections. Stop at scenic viewpoints for panoramic photos and fresh air, then relax with a local drink before returning to the city — completing an off-road experience that goes far beyond the typical Hanoi tour.

What To Expect
Leave the busy streets of Hanoi behind and head to the peaceful countryside of Soc Son, just 50–60 minutes from the Old Quarter. Choose to travel by car or upgrade to a motorbike ride as a passenger for a more immersive start to your experience. Upon arrival, receive a short safety briefing and hands-on introduction to your off-road buggy, including how to control the vehicle and handle different types of terrain. Then, take the wheel and begin your off-road adventure. Drive along a mix of winding forest paths, dirt tracks, and natural trails as you navigate through pine forests and rolling hills. Feel the excitement as you handle uneven terrain, gentle slopes, and occasional muddy sections, all while surrounded by fresh mountain air. Follow your guide to higher viewpoints where you can pause, take in panoramic countryside views, and even spot airplanes descending in the distance as they approach Hanoi—an unexpected and memorable highlight. After your ride, relax with a local drink such as tea, coffee, or sugarcane juice, and take a short walk through the pine forest to explore unique photo spots. Finally, return to Hanoi, completing your half-day off-road experience.

5.00This was probably the most different thing I did during my time in Hanoi. Driving the buggy is straightforward, but still gives you that little bit of excitement, especially when the terrain gets uneven. It’s not extreme or overly challenging, which actually makes it accessible for most people. You don’t need any prior experience, just a bit of confidence. Briar was very good at explaining things clearly before we started, and then stepping back once everyone got the hang of it. That balance between guidance and freedom made the activity much more enjoyable.
Buggy tour with just enough excitement

5.00The Hanoi Buggy tour is honestly such a fun and refreshing experience if you’re looking to break away from the usual city activities. The off-road tracks are quite diverse, with dirt paths, muddy sections, and some really exciting turns—perfect for anyone who enjoys a bit of adventure while still feeling safe. The highlight for me was definitely the guide, Robin. He was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive to everyone in the group. Before we started, he gave very clear instructions on how to drive and covered all the safety tips, which made even beginners feel completely comfortable. Throughout the journey, he stayed close, offered support whenever needed, and kept the energy high with his great vibe. Overall, if you’re looking for a unique mix of exploration and fun in Hanoi, this buggy tour is absolutely worth trying—and having Robin as your guide makes it even better!
Highlight of my Hanoi trip!

5.00Found this by chance and it ended up being the best part of my week. I went with a friend and we had a blast tearing through the countryside. It’s not your typical 'sit-on-a-bus' tour. You actually get to drive and feel the adrenaline. 🏎️ The forest air was so fresh and the whole experience felt very local and real. Huge thanks to Giang for looking after us and taking some great photos. It’s a bit of a workout but man, those views at the top are something else. 100% recommend if you're in Hanoi! 💯
Exhilarating Off-Road Experience!
