Day 5 - Cycle through Bidoup N.P.; to the coast and boat transfer to Whale Island

Today's ride was predominantly downhill through pine forests and paddy fields as we descend nearly 1,500m travelling through the Bidoup Ba National Park. The area is home to rare pine forests as well as small villages inhabited by the ethnic minority people of the central highlands. Once we arrive at the coast, we head by bus (approx. 1.5 hours) to the coast near Nha Trang before boarding a boat to our tropical island retreat of Whale Island for the next two nights. Cycled approximately 100km today.

It was extremely foggy, at the top of the mountain where we started, but cleared up quickly as we defended.
