When it comes to iconic cycling routes in Vietnam, Hai Van Pass stands above the rest—literally and figuratively. This spectacular mountain pass, immortalized by Top Gear as “one of the best coastal roads in the world,” offers cyclists a perfect blend of challenge, beauty, and reward.
Rising over 500 meters above sea level and separating the cities of Hue and Da Nang, Hai Van Pass (or “Ocean Cloud Pass”) delivers unforgettable views of the coastline, lush green hills, and ancient stone gates. Whether you're an experienced cyclist or an adventurous traveler, cycling Hai Van Pass is an absolute must—and with Golden Cycling Tours, it's easier, safer, and more enjoyable than ever.
Few roads in Southeast Asia can match the cinematic grandeur of Hai Van Pass. With ocean views on one side and jungle-covered peaks on the other, every curve offers a new photo opportunity.

Cycling Hai Van Pass is a rewarding climb. The ascent from the Lang Co side is longer and steeper (10 km at an average gradient of 5–6%), while the Da Nang side is shorter but equally stunning.
Experienced riders relish the challenge. Beginners can conquer the pass with the help of support vans or e-bikes provided by Golden Cycling Tours.
Hai Van Pass is ideally located between two of Vietnam’s most popular destinations—Hue and Hoi An. This makes it the perfect one-day ride or part of a multi-day tour. You can cycle from Hue to Da Nang (or vice versa) and continue your journey south or north.
This is one of the most popular cycling tours offered by Golden Cycling Tours. It's designed to combine the thrill of the pass with culture, comfort, and safety.
Start in Hue, Vietnam’s ancient capital. Ride out along scenic backroads, through fishing villages and rural rice paddies. Stop for a seafood lunch at the Tam Giang Lagoon, then cycle to the peaceful coastal town of Lang Co, nestled just below Hai Van Pass.
