Top 5 best quad bike (ATV) rentals in Ha Long

If someday you will be in Ha Long, Vietnam, do not think that your only options for getting around are walking and public transport. You can always rent a quad bike in Ha Long on our website and add some genuine off-road adventure to a trip usually spent on a cruise boat. Ha Long is best known for the limestone karsts of the bay itself, but the hills and coastal ground around the city give a quad bike plenty of real terrain to work with.

Ha Long suits a quad bike as a complement to the bay rather than a way to get around the city centre: Tuan Chau Island and the coastal hills nearby have dirt tracks and open ground that give you sweeping views back over the karsts, and a short transfer out of the centre puts you among quiet farmland and forest trails that most cruise-focused visitors never see. Quad riding here is almost always an organised tour through these off-road areas, paired naturally with the bay cruise as two very different sides of the same trip.

Top 10 things to see in Ha Long by quad bike

1. Tuan Chau Island tracks — open coastal roads and dirt paths on the island connected to Ha Long by causeway, a common base for quad tours.
2. Ha Long Bay viewpoints — hillside tracks around the city give elevated views over the karst-studded water below.
3. Bai Chay coastal strip — the main tourist waterfront, a natural place to start or end a ride before heading out to sea by boat.
4. Ha Long hillside farmland — the semi-rural land just inland from the coast, with dirt tracks running past small farms.
5. Quang Ninh coastal pine belt — shaded, sandy-soil tracks along parts of the coast north and south of the city.
6. Ha Long Marine Plaza area — a good vantage point over the harbour and the boats heading out to the bay.
7. Cua Luc estuary — wide river-mouth views where the coastal hills meet the water.
8. Bai Tho Mountain foothills — the lower slopes of the hill overlooking central Ha Long, with tracks giving a taste of the terrain.
9. Yen Tu foothills — the lower reaches of this sacred mountain range south-west of the city offer forest and dirt trails for a longer excursion.
10. Sun World Ha Long Complex area — the hillside around the cable car and amusement park makes a scenic backdrop for part of a tour.

What do you need to rent a quad bike in Ha Long?

Riders are usually expected to be at least 16–18 years old, and since quad riding here is almost always an organised tour through off-road land, an ordinary category B licence is normally sufficient rather than a motorcycle licence. Every tour starts with a short safety briefing, and a guide leads the group throughout, which is reassuring for first-timers on the hillier tracks. A deposit is usually required and refunded once the quad is returned undamaged. If you intend to take a quad onto any public road, check with the operator first, since that may call for an International Driving Permit (IDP) and a different licence class. A helmet is always provided and must be worn.

How much does it cost to rent a quad bike in Ha Long?

Quad bike rental in Ha Long starts from around 400,000 VND per day for a standard single-seat ATV, rising to roughly 700,000–1,100,000 VND for a larger machine, a two-seater, or a longer guided tour with an instructor. Because most rides here are organised tours rather than free hire, many operators charge by the session: a short one- to two-hour ride through the coastal hills or Tuan Chau typically costs around 200,000–400,000 VND per hour, depending on group size and route. Prices shift with the seasons:

• April–October (warmer, busier months) — milder weather and the peak of the cruise season push demand and prices up.
• November–March (cool northern winter) — cooler, sometimes grey and drizzly, with fewer visitors and generally lower rates.

Weekends and Vietnamese holidays add extra demand within any season, so booking a day or two ahead secures both the machine and the better rate. In general, expect to pay the most during the warm, busy cruise season and to find the best deals in the quieter cold months of the north Vietnamese winter.

When to book a rental quad bike in Ha Long?

Ha Long has a distinctly northern climate: warm and humid from around April to October, which is also the busiest cruise season on the bay, and noticeably cooler, sometimes chilly and overcast, from November to March. Quad tours run year-round, but the warmer months give the most comfortable riding conditions and the clearest views over the karsts, while the cool season is quieter and cheaper if you don't mind a jacket. If you want reliable weather and the fullest tour schedule, aim for the warmer months; if you prefer lower prices and fewer other visitors, winter is worth considering.

Local traffic rules

In Vietnam you ride on the right-hand side of the road. A helmet is compulsory on any public road and is required on quad tours too. Quad bikes are generally restricted to off-road tracks and designated tour areas around Tuan Chau and the coastal hills rather than mixed into city traffic, so always follow your guide's route and stay within the marked trails. Speed limits in built-up parts of Ha Long are typically 40–50 km/h on the rare stretches where a quad might cross a public road. Drink-driving carries zero tolerance. Go easy on loose dirt and hillier sections until you're confident with how the quad handles.
