No licence, no problem
No valid motorbike licence, a bad back or no wish to ride — see every pass legally and safely.
Friends & small groups
Up to 16 of you across our 4 jeeps — or mix jeeps with easy riders for the ones who want the bike.
Pick your loop.
Every trip is private and leaves daily. One price for the whole jeep covers the driver-guide, fuel, homestays, meals, permits, boats and travel insurance. Choose a Jeep Rubicon or a BJ40, subject to availability. How to book

Real trips, real guests.
Every photo here was taken on our own jeeps, with our own guests — no stock photos.
Every month has a reason.
We run all year. With only 4 jeeps, buckwheat season in October and November books out first — message us early for those dates.
SeptemberTerraces turn gold before harvest. Jeep weather.
October – NovemberPink buckwheat fields and the clearest skies. Books out first.
December – FebruarySeas of cloud, peach blossom, cold nights — we suggest the heated 7-seater.
March – AugustLush valleys, jade rivers, summer rain — the private car stays dry.
Just message Kai.

Straight answers.
Still deciding? Tell Kai your dates and who's coming. You'll get an honest plan and one clear price — no obligation.
How do I book a tour?
Tap Hold on a jeep tour, pick your date and leave your WhatsApp number — no account and nothing to pay. You get a trip code and a private trip page. Kai confirms on WhatsApp in about 15 minutes; then you pay the 30% deposit on that page by Wise, PayPal or card, or VietQR, and the rest on day 1 in cash or by transfer.
Do I need a motorbike licence for a Ha Giang Loop jeep tour?
No. Our local driver-guides drive the jeep or car for you, so no licence of any kind is needed. It is the easiest legal way to see the whole loop if you do not hold a valid motorbike licence.
How many people fit in one jeep?
Up to 4 guests per jeep plus your driver-guide. With 4 jeeps, groups of up to 16 travel together as a convoy — and the price per person drops as the jeep fills up. Our 7-seat cars take up to 6 guests with luggage.
How do I book and pay?
Tap Hold on any trip, pick a start date and type your WhatsApp number — no account, nothing to pay. You get a trip code and a private trip page straight away, and Kai confirms on WhatsApp within about 15 minutes. Once confirmed, pay a 30% deposit on your trip page by Wise, PayPal or card, or VietQR. The rest is paid in Vietnamese dong on the first day, in cash or by transfer.
Can I see my booking again later?
Yes. Open Find my trip and type your trip code or the WhatsApp number you held the jeep with. Your private trip page shows the tour, dates, price, what you have paid and what happens next — never names, phone numbers or emails.
Is a jeep tour comfortable in rain or cold weather?
Each jeep has a canvas roof and side covers for rain, plus blankets and raincoats. From December to February or on very wet days we usually suggest the private car, which is heated and fully enclosed.
Can children and older travellers join?
Yes — this is exactly who jeep and car tours are for. We provide child seats in the 7-seat car on request and adjust the daily distance to your pace.
Can you pick us up from Hanoi, Sapa or Cao Bang?
Yes. We run private transfers from Hanoi Old Quarter, Noi Bai Airport, Sapa and Cao Bang, or book you a sleeper or limousine bus to Ha Giang City.
What is included in the price?
Your private jeep or car with fuel, an English-speaking local driver-guide, homestays, all meals on the road, entrance and permit fees, the Nho Que boat, drinking water and travel insurance. Drinks, tips and personal costs are not included. Travel insurance comes with every trip, including private car, day rides, rentals with driver and transfers.
Is travel insurance included?
Yes — every trip with Kai (tours, private car, day rides, rentals with driver, transfers) includes travel insurance for every guest.
When is the best time to do the Ha Giang Loop by jeep?
October to early December for buckwheat flowers and clear skies, March to May for green valleys, and September for golden rice terraces. Summer brings rain but the most dramatic green scenery.
