02 · Our story

Still being written.

01

The beginning

2016

Bông Ha Giang Hostel was born in 2016 to share the unspoiled beauty of Ha Giang with the world, back when the Loop was still a hidden gem.

02

The Easyrider service

Early days

Starting as motorbike rentals, we saw not every traveler felt confident on these roads — so local Easy Riders started guiding them through instead.

03

The early Loops

2018

We began organizing group tours. After the pandemic our popularity soared — today, over 200 Easy Riders guide travelers through Northern Vietnam with us.

04

Bông Hanoi

2023

We opened Bông Hanoi Hostel in the Old Quarter, giving travelers a base to start or end their North Vietnam journey.

05

10 years of Bông

2026

A decade on from that first Loop: to keep sharing authentic, safe, unforgettable adventures that connect people with local cultures and landscapes.

Holiday · Friends

The 4day/3night tour was the BEST thing i did during my stay in Vietnam. My driver was Vương Thang and he was amazing, a great driver and always made me feel safe on the bike. If i was to do the tour again, I would 100% request him as my driver. Before the tour, I had never been on a motorbike before and was super nervous, but my driver was so great, helping me get on and off the bike and helping with my helmet. I genuinely felt safer on the bike with my driver than I would feel driving my car back home. All of the Bong drivers in my group were great and super safe and responsible drivers and i felt so comfortable with them for the whole trip. My group leader Hùng was the best!!! We all had soooo much fun with him and he also looked out for us and took care of us all. I genuinely could not have asked for a better group for the tour, we all had such a great time together and with the drivers too. I am so grateful to have had such an amazing experience and I would recommend anyone who is thinking of doing the loop to go with Bong!!!!!!

An Unforgettable Ha Giang Loop Thanks to Đánh

I did the Ha Giang Loop with Bong Hostel and had an absolutely incredible experience — what really made the trip unforgettable was my driver, Đánh, plus the organisation and the vibe with the group. He was incredibly attentive and professional throughout the entire journey. When it came to safety, I always felt completely confident with him, but at the same time he knew exactly how to make the experience fun and spontaneous. More than just a driver, Đánh became a real friend during the trip. I came to Vietnam travelling solo, and I'm leaving with so many incredible memories and, most importantly, I feel like I've made a brother. Thank you, Đánh, and thank you Bong Hostel, for an unforgettable experience.
