Ninh Binh Day Tour

Your adventure begins with a drive from Hanoi at 7:30 AM, leaving behind the city’s bustling streets and entering the serene landscapes of rural Vietnam. The journey unfolds through picturesque countryside, offering glimpses of traditional farming life and lush green landscapes.

At Tam Coc, you’ll board a traditional wooden boat for a mesmerizing river journey. Local boatmen expertly navigate through narrow waterways surrounded by towering limestone karsts. The boat glides past emerald rice fields, passing through three natural caves that showcase the region’s unique geological formations.

Hike to Mua Cave for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Tam Coc valley. While there is an option to climb to the viewpoint, you can choose your own comfort level. The lower areas offer beautiful views, and those who wish can take a moderate climb to enjoy a panoramic perspective of the surrounding landscape. The site is designed to be accessible, with resting points and not-too-steep paths.

Lunch will be at Luong’s House – a local restaurant providing a chance to taste traditional Vietnamese cuisine typical of the Ninh Binh region.

The afternoon includes a relaxed bicycle ride through the Thung Sen area. The paths are mostly flat and easy to navigate, allowing you to enjoy the scenery without difficulty. You’ll pass by the historic Thai Vy Temple and have opportunities to interact with local farmers and observe rural Vietnamese life.

Your final stop is Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam. This historical site offers insights into the country’s early kingdoms, with well-preserved temples and monuments. The area is easily walkable, with smooth paths and plenty of opportunities to learn about Vietnamese history.

As the day concludes, you’ll return to Hanoi with a deeper understanding of Ninh Binh’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
