Saigon Aggressive Dual Sport 3 days +
Summary
I am based in Ho Chi Minh (Tigit Jon), so it isn’t surprising that Tigit as a company has so many routes in the South of Vietnam. The South has it all, from rubber plantations to gravel, to sand, to the beach, to sand dunes, to pine trees, to bamboo jungles that are impenetrable.
I like to think that I built the offroad scene in Ho Chi Minh during COVID-19. Before I came along, the South was deemed to have no trails, partially because the jungles are so dense and thick here that local offroad enthusiasts failed to connect the routes together. This is why there are no offroad companies in the South of Vietnam!
On the contrary, however, the South has a lot of driving variety and some of the best offroading in the world. What is also cool, is that the offroad can be very easy, to the insanely difficult. The South has more variation in driving terrain and difficulty than the North of Vietnam as well.
If you want to feel what the Americans felt in the war, and get stuck in a jungle, then this is a great tour for you!
Truly amazing stuff.
We have so many choices, and routes don’t need much planning. We can do 3 days or anything you like. I can actually connect Ho Chi Minh to Danang (half way up Vietnam) with 90% offroad trails if you like!
In the end, decide how much offroad you can stomach before exhaustion, I suppose also consider your bank balance allowance!

Who this tour is for
The CRF 150L isn’t much
This tour can be for anyone, from the beginner to the advanced rider. The tour guide can talour the level to your needs, there is so much choice.
If you are a beginner, don’t worry. Go ahead and book.
Advanced riders
It is very hard to explain, and I apologize that the CRF 150L is not exactly an exciting motorbike, but hear me out. What is unique to Vietnam is how remote into the jungles we can “safely” go. This is due to the fact that locals wander around deep in jungles on Honda Semi Automatics. If things go wrong, we usually have a way to rescue ourselves.
However, the remoteness of these jungles is no joke, and reliability is absolutely key. This is far more important than power or performance. Therefore, we opt for the air-cooled Honda CRF 150L.
Just treat it like a toy, a go-kart, something to kick about and have fun with. Play around on the easy trails, but be thankful for your Honda’s reliability when you are deep in a thick jungle with no signal and no easy escape!
Just load up our offroad maps and zoom in on Google Earth, to see just how far from civilization we can take you.
When a customer becomes a friend
The guides in the South are given guidelines that providing the rider is good enough and relaxed enough, that they can say to a client. “I will take you into this jungle as a friend, not a guide. We are in this together.”
If you trust your newfound friend enough, fill up those water bladders and experience some seriously cool riding!
