Every expat in Saigon has their ‘usual spots’—but what about the corners of the city where life unfolds away from the spotlight?
The Saigon Off the Beaten Path Cycling Tour isn’t just a bike ride, it’s an invitation to step into those hidden rhythms. Created by Jackfruit Adventure and offered via ExoTrails, it’s the kind of experience that makes you fall in love with Saigon all over again.
Who Are These Jackfruit Folks Anyway?
Jackfruit Adventure isn’t a big corporate tour machine. It’s a gro7up of young, passionate adventurers who believe travel should feel “human”. Started by Dung Ho in 2014, joined by Peter Su, they exist “to bring people together, create smiles, and make a difference in communities”.
Every stroke of the pedal is crafted with care, intent, and heart. Their guides would tell stories, laugh with you through the cycling journey. They make sure you taste a strange fruit from a market stall, and they help you cross Saigon traffic like a pro.
Not scripted, not staged – only raw, joyful connection.

Everything You Secretly Want to Ask

Not at all. This isn’t a fitness challenge. It’s a slow roll, with plenty of stops to explore, snack, and chat.

Looks crazy, doesn’t it? But trust me: with these guides, it feels natural, even fun. You’ll mostly weave through calmer backstreets.

A solid bike, helmet, guide, water, snacks, fruit stops, and lots of laughs.
Rain?
Saigon rain can be an adventure in itself. Light drizzle? You’ll ride through it. Heavy rain? The guides will adapt and keep things safe.

Yes—if the kids are confident riders. Smaller bikes are available. Families often love this tour for its playful vibe.
