Hoi An is also famous for its well-preserved old town, where you can find hundreds of historical buildings, temples, pagodas, bridges, and lanterns.

Best time to join Hoi An Motorbike Tours

What is the best season to go to Hoi An? Situated in the central region, experiences two distinct seasons: rainy and dry, each season has its unique charm. Vietnam Motorbike Tour Expert will analyze the characteristics of these two times for your reference before you go.

Joining Motorbike Tour Hoi An During the Dry Season (February to August)

This is the perfect time for those who want to fully explore Hoi An Motorbike Tours. The average temperature during this period is around 25°C (77°F), which is ideal for riding a motorbike. From February to April, the weather is cool and mild with little rain. It’s not the peak tourist season, so you can enjoy the scenery and attractions without worrying about crowds or high prices.

From May to August, Hoi An is the most crowded with tourists. The weather is sunny and beautiful every day with almost no rain, making it convenient to move around and fully experience the atmosphere and beauty of this ancient city. However, there will be some days when the heat may make you feel a bit uncomfortable and prices will be higher than usual.

Joining Hoi An Motorbike Tours During the Rainy Season (September to January)

From September to January, Hoi An enters the rainy season. The peak of this season is in November and December, when floods may occur, forcing people to travel by boat. But if you want to join Hoi An Motorbike Tours and experience the old town uniquely, taking a boat to see the old town can be a great choice.

Hoi An Cultural and Cuisine Characteristics

Hoi An is known for its diverse culture influenced by various ethnic groups and foreign traders. You can explore its history and culture by visiting museums such as the Museum of Trade Ceramics, the Museum of Folk Culture, and the Museum of Sa Huynh Culture. Iconic landmarks like the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Quan Cong Temple, and the Tan Ky House are also worth seeing. Experience Hoi An’s culture through festivals such as the Full Moon Lantern Festival where thousands of colorful lanterns light up the streets.

Food lovers will enjoy Hoi An’s multicultural cuisine, featuring famous dishes such as cao lau, banh mi, banh xeo, and com ga. These dishes can be found in many restaurants and street stalls or learned through a cooking class.

Wear clothing appropriate for the weather conditions

The weather in Central Vietnam can vary depending on the season and the region. Generally, it is hot and humid from May to September, and cooler and drier from October to April. However, there may be occasional rain showers or storms throughout the year, especially in mountainous areas.

Therefore, you should wear comfortable, breathable clothes, and be easy to dry. You should also wear layers that you can add or remove depending on the temperature. Avoid wearing shorts or skirts, as they may not be appropriate for some cultural sites or rural villages. Instead, wear long pants or jeans that can protect your legs from scratches or insect bites.

Get up early to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere

Hoi An in the morning is peaceful, sunny, and fresh air, not crowded with tourists like in the evening but only locals prepare for new day activities. Therefore, if you want to enjoy this rare beauty, check in without being stuck, don’t be afraid to get up early.

Try to participate in Hoi An’s traditional activities

Confidently pushing the horn

Honking has been a unique part of Vietnam’s traffic culture. The “beep, beep…” sound can be heard throughout the country and it adds to the lively atmosphere. Don’t be intimidated by honking; it’s simply a way to get someone’s attention.

In Vietnam, honking does not necessarily imply impoliteness or anger. Rather, it is a brief notification: “Hey, I’m coming through on my bike. Please be aware!”

Some important notices for riding a motorcycle in Hoi An

Be careful when turning left/right or passing through intersections

To alert others to your intention to turn, it’s important to activate your turn indicators. Additionally, consider waving your hand to make your signal more noticeable. This helps drivers behind you anticipate your turn.

Be sure to signal in advance and avoid making sudden turns without giving ample warning. Once you have completed your turn, remember to turn off your signal. Failure to do so can confuse and potentially result in an accident.

Note that not all drivers may notice your turn signals, so it’s wise to observe through your rearview mirror before completing a turn.
