“You never really see a place until you see it from a bicycle.”
We had heard this quote many times, from seasoned travelers, friends who biked across Vietnam, and even printed on postcards in tiny cafés. But it wasn’t until we joined a ride with Jackfruit Adventure that we truly understood why these words keep getting passed around.
At first, we thought it would be just another casual cycling tour in Vietnam, around the city. But as we pedaled through quiet backstreets and sunny courtyards, something changed. We started to see a different side of Saigon, one filled with stories, little details, and surprises around every corner. We didn’t expect it, but this ride showed us something we hadn’t seen before.
If you’re curious about what cycling tour in Vietnam really feels like, we think joining one of Jackfruit bike tours is the perfect place to start.
About Jackfruit Adventure
Jackfruit Adventure, or as some like to call it, “Mít phiêu lưu ký” – was born in Ho Chi Minh City with a simple belief: the best way to understand a place is by connecting with the people who call it home. This belief runs through everything they do, shaping journeys that are warm, thoughtful, and full of meaning.
In the big city, they lead small cycling tours that take you beyond the usual sights, into quiet backstreets, vibrant markets, and everyday neighborhoods where life unfolds slowly and naturally. Beyond the city, they bring that same spirit to team-building trips across Vietnam, from Hoi An and Da Nang to Buon Ma Thuot, Da Lat, and many more. Every journey is carefully crafted, with well-prepared bikes, custom Vietnamese phrasebooks for foreign guests, and creative activities that spark laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories.
And wherever they go, it’s a chance to see, listen, and feel the deeper layers of Vietnam that most people miss.
Where the Jackfruit Story Begins
If you knew the story behind Jackfruit Adventure, you might believe that some people were meant to find each other. That’s how it was for Dũng, Linh, and Peter — three strangers brought together by timing, instinct, and something that felt a lot like fate. Together, they built Jackfruit one quiet step at a time, guided not by business plans, but by heart.
The first seed was planted in 2014, when Dũng cycled through the Mekong Delta. It was a slow, silent journey with no rush, no destination, just the rhythm of the road and the beauty of what’s often overlooked. That ride opened his eyes to a new way of seeing Vietnam: not just through sights, but through sound, scent, warmth, and feeling.
The culture of ‘Experience with Heart’ spreads to hundreds of people at each Jackfruit event.
Against all odds, he dreamed of a cycling tour in Vietnam‘s Ho Chi Minh City—a place bursting with heat, noise, and constant motion. But he believed in something deeper: a kind of travel that was kind, intentional, and human. So he reached out to Linh, a friend from the hospitality world who understood the power of thoughtful details. And then, almost by chance, he reconnected with Peter, a traveler from the UK who had left his job to cycle across Asia, chasing something more real. What began as a simple “hello” turned into two years of dreaming and building together.
From there, Jackfruit was born with a promise: to create journeys that speak to the heart.
The reason not because it sounded good, but because it was the only way that felt true. Every detail from cycling routes to the smallest interactions was crafted with care, always aiming to create real connections and lasting memories. That spirit is what inspired the name. In Vietnam, jackfruit trees grow almost everywhere. Just like the jackfruit tree, they hoped each journey would plant a seed, one that takes root, grows, and stays in the heart long after the road ends. That’s why the Jackfruit logo is shaped like an open heart, always ready to welcome, connect, and invite you to feel something real.
The Jackfruit Way to Move, Connect, and Grow in Vietnam
On every Jackfruit journey, you’ll quickly notice that these aren’t the usual routes found in typical tour packages. Each path and stop is carefully chosen to tell its own story, not the kind you read in guidebooks, but the kind you feel through the words of a local guide and the small, heartfelt details along the way.
That’s the compass Jackfruit follows, whether it’s leading a cycling tour through the streets of Ho Chi Minh City or crafting full-scale experiences as a Vietnam DMC. So the following are the services that Jackfruit focuses on:
Cycling Tours in Ho Chi Minh City
In every cycling tour in Vietnam, Jackfruit brings laughter and deep connections.
Jackfruit’s experiences are never rushed. Instead of moving quickly from one stop to another, guests travel at a slower pace that invites them to notice the little things. And that’s how such tours were born:
- Saigon Off-the-Beaten-Path Cycling Tour: Far from tourist crowds, this ride takes you into the heart of local life, through old apartment blocks, decades-old markets, and quiet backstreets where Saigon’s culture lives on, just as it always has.
- Chinatown Discovery: Step into a world of incense, tradition, and untold stories as you cycle through the vibrant heart of Chợ Lớn in District 5.
- Saigon’s Last Mekong Countryside, Escape to the Hidden Island: Just outside the city, cycle to a peaceful island where mango trees, dirt roads, and slow-living locals await.
- Pedal & Paddle Saigon’s Sunset Adventure: Start your day with a gentle bike ride through quiet streets, then paddle along peaceful canals as the city slowly wakes up, two calming rhythms to ease into Saigon’s soul.
- Saigon Untold Tales City Night Cycling Tour: This tour will take you uncover unique things to do in Ho Chi Minh City at night. On two wheels, you follow hidden trails and forgotten alleys, listening to the stories that locals still whisper, the kind not found in any guidebook.
And you can find other unique cycling tour in Vietnam on the Jackfruit website.

What the Guests Say After the Ride
After every cycling tour in Vietnam or team-building trip, there’s always something guests carry home, not just photos, but feelings. They talk about the feeling of slowing down, of quietly weaving through narrow alleys on a bicycle, that’s not in a van, not on a motorbike, but on two wheels that let them truly see and feel the rhythm of daily life.
Some ended up drinking with locals over home-cooked food. Others found themselves smiling at strangers, sharing stories without needing the same language.
Again and again, they say the same thing: “I didn’t expect to feel this much.” And then the seeds have been sown and have sprouted in their hearts, and the next time they come to Vietnam, they continue to choose Jackfruit as their companion.
And who knows? Your story might be the next one worth telling.
