The mist rises from the depths of the Quay Son River, a shimmering turquoise ribbon that divides two nations. As you pedal closer, the rhythmic thunder of falling water grows, echoing through the limestone canyons of Northern Vietnam. This is Ban Gioc, the fourth largest cross-border waterfall in the world and the undisputed crown jewel of Cao Bang. While many visit by bus, the true essence of this landscape is best captured on two wheels. A Ban Gioc Waterfall e-bike tour offers a sensory-rich, eco-friendly, and exhilarating way to experience this natural wonder without the exhaustion of traditional mountain cycling.
At Golden Cycling Tours, we combine the power of modern technology with the raw beauty of the frontier. Join us as we explore why an electric bike is your perfect companion for this bucket-list journey.
The road to Ban Gioc is as legendary as the waterfall itself. Winding through the UNESCO Global Geopark, the terrain is a dramatic sequence of steep passes and lush valley floors.
To reach the waterfall from Cao Bang city, you must traverse several formidable mountain passes. On a Ban Gioc Waterfall e-bike tour, the struggle is replaced by pure enjoyment. Our premium e-bikes feature intelligent pedal-assist motors that amplify your power, allowing you to glide up the famous Ma Phuc Pass while keeping your eyes on the panoramic vistas instead of the pavement. This makes our Vietnam e-bike tours accessible to adventurers of all fitness levels.
Unlike a car or motorbike, an e-bike is silent. As you cycle along the banks of the Quay Son River toward the falls, you can hear the wind in the bamboo groves and the calls of local farmers. This "slow travel" approach ensures you don't just see the scenery; you become a part of it.
When you book a Cao Bang bike tour with Golden Cycling Tours, the waterfall is the grand finale of a spectacular day.
The route takes you through some of the most unique karst landscapes in Southeast Asia. You’ll ride through narrow paths flanked by towering limestone pillars that look like a scene from an ancient painting. The agility of an e-bike allows us to take "the path less traveled," visiting hidden viewpoints that tour buses simply cannot reach.
Arriving at the falls on your e-bike is a moment of pure triumph. We time our arrival to ensure you have the best light for photography. You can take a bamboo raft to the base of the three-tiered falls, feeling the cool spray on your face—a perfect reward after a scenic ride.
Just 3km from the waterfall lies Nguom Ngao, one of Vietnam’s most spectacular cave systems. A Ban Gioc Waterfall e-bike tour often includes a stop here. You’ll pedal through the valley to the cave entrance, where an underground world of shimmering stalactites awaits exploration.
We are the pioneers of premium cycling in Northern Vietnam. Our mission is to provide a safe, luxury-level adventure that respects the local environment and culture.
We don't compromise on quality. Our bikes are high-performance electric mountain bikes (e-MTBs) equipped with long-range batteries. Even on the longest days of your Cao Bang bike tour, you can rely on the power and comfort of your equipment.
Every Ban Gioc Waterfall e-bike tour is led by an expert local guide and followed by a professional support vehicle. We handle your luggage, provide fresh refreshments, and ensure mechanical support is always at hand. This level of service is what makes Golden Cycling Tours the top choice for international travelers.
Hungry for more? Many of our guests combine their trip to Ban Gioc with our legendary Ha Giang bike tours. Experiencing both the waterfalls of Cao Bang and the rocky plateaus of Ha Giang is the definitive way to see Northern Vietnam.
