For our final adventure in Vietnam we went on an EPIC motorbike trip in the northern part of the country. And we definitely saved the best for last! The first 3 days of the trip took us on part of the famous Ha Giang Loop to the Cao Bang Province. We rode up and down crazy mountain passes, took a boat ride through the deepest canyon in Southeast Asia, went to the northernmost point of the country, looked into China, visited our guide's village, and saw way too many insane views to count.

To see everywhere we went in this video, plus a bunch of spots we visited off camera, check out this custom Google Map we made for Vietnam, which you can download to your phone! https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edi...

NOTE: To download this map, you will want to click the rectangle in the top right corner of the map, which will open it on your Google Maps app. However, this will not automatically populate the map on your phone anytime you have Google Maps open, so to access it again in the future, click "saved" on the bottom part of the app, then "maps", and you should be able to see it as a saved map.
